15. The people who decide to bring their kids with them, these kids happen to be raised by monkies becuase the entire trip they have the ability to be the most annoying kids ever and the parents do nothing to stop it.

I can't stand that one, I sit till I see movement, and even then I get dirty looks sometimes when I am in the aisle seat and do not stand till I see movement.

Another pet peeve of mine is the Southwest Airlines Trained Passenger. At the other carriers such as AA. There are boarding numbers and assigned seats, so there is no reason to stand right in front of the gate door and block everyone who has a earlier boarding number. Because Southwest doesn't have assigned seats everyone feels like they have to stand in the way just to get a good seat. We are not cattle or a school bus, so sit down till your boarding number is called.

15. The seat putter backer.

There is no room to put your seat back without destroying the person behind you. They should not go back at all.

16. The seat kicker. They also exist at the movies, roller coaster rides, and concerts.

What is up with these women with enormous wedding dresses insisting on using the whole coat closet on an RJ,etc. They expect the whole world to revolve around them because they are getting married. Seems like one on almost every flight lately.

Nice find.

I hate this guy, especially when they're not talking on the hands free bluetooth thingamabob but they still have it plugged into their ear.

17. The 300 pound guy in the seat(s) next to you on an 10 hour flight to Hawaii. Double points if he isn't wearing deodorant.

Double points? I think you win the game with that one....I can't think of much worse than that scenerio, even crying baby isnt going to cry for 10 hours straight (I would hope)

That drives me crazy. I used to commute from SEA-BOS on the red-eye, I would rest my head on the tray, and when the person in front of me tried to recline, I would hold my head against their seat so that they couldn't recline. They normaly gave up fairly quickly.

I had one guy in front of me that reclined right when he sat down on the ground and only had it up for takeoff and landing. Once we hit the ground, BAM! reclined again. It was only NOT reclined for about 20 min total the entire flight.
