10 annoying passengers as told by a flight attendant

Here at Gadling, we love stories about annoying passengers. It gives us a chance to read about the kind of things that annoy us when we travel, and there is something deeply satisfying knowing that we are not the only ones that get annoyed when we bump into one of these annoying people.

Our tart friends over at Lemondrop have compiled a list of annoying passengers
, from the perspective of a flight attendant.

Now, this is of course nothing new, as we have our very own Heather Poole who has her own fantastic lineup of "pet peeves", but it is interesting to see the overlap, and which things seem to annoy flight attendants the most.

And while we are on the topic of annoying people, check out our own list of ten annoying passengers, listing everything from "the escalator obstacle" to "the recliner".

And fear not - Gadling will soon be publishing a list of airline employees that annoy us. It's going to be quite the list, and I'm willing to bet it lists a couple of employees that have made you roll your eyes in the past. And lets be honest, who hasn't come across a flight attendant who has the kind of attitude that makes you wish he/she stayed home that day.

  • Flight Attendant Pet Peeve #1: Answer please!
  • Flight Attendant Pet Peeve #2: Back to your seat, please!
  • Flight Attendant Pet Peeve #3: You want me to do what?
  • Flight Attendant Pet Peeve #4 - Turn around, go that way!
  • Flight attendant pet peeve #5 - You're still here?
  • The runaround
