It was on my boarding pass, his boarding pass was 2 rows up next to some lady on the double side. I had a 4 leg day, if you include the deadhead leg it was almost 9 hours in the air, and 13 hours duty. We had been CX the night before at 11pm and I had driven home, slept 6 hours, drove back, and was now on my deadhead. I let it go to avoid a huge ordeal, but I think its a tool thing to do. It was not even the seat thing, it was when I came back to grab my paper from the seat back pocket, and pull my boarding pass off the clip holding the tray I asked where he was sitting (as I was curious where I was now sitting), and he got defensive and said well I paid more for my ticket and need the extra leg room (he must have seen me walk up to the cockpit to chat), as I was sitting in the seat for a bit.

The "fat family" that walk (or waddle) four-abreast down the concourse, chatting away, taking up the entire width of the terminal, oblivious to the fact that there are people and electric carts trying to get by them.
The guys that, when cleared to cross the runway of which you've been holding short, then contact ground control on the other side, immediately switch to ground before you've even released the brakes to cross the runway.

I nominate the family we had on our FL-NYC flight yesterday who had a seat for their child (not a lap) but refused to put them in it. They told the FAs they would move their child when it was convenient for them. FAs called us up during pushback to inform us of this.
The CA's response: Tell them it is convenient for me to move him now or we will have all of them removed from the aircraft.
Classic!
Needless to say the child was moved.

I nominate the Captain I flew with last week. He told me that he didn't understand why as a First Officer I bothered to pick up Open Time, since I didn't make that much money.
Duh! I don't make that much money, so I pick up Open Time!
