anyone who crowds anyone else should be made to buy another ticket anyone with a child should not be allowed to fly a pet peeve is one thing - hopefully these sentiments are exagerated? flying is a convienence for everyone and as a result we have to deal with some unpleasantness. cramped seats, stale air, sitting too close to the loo, lineups, waiting, no food, bad food... whatever but we all deal with it including the people who are trying to occupy as little space as possible or the parent who is trying to quiet a screaming kid. True...  Those aren't pet peeves to me, just a reality of commuter travel.
Now, the ONE in-flight movie that you want to see playing on every flight except yours...THAT'S a pet peeve...lol  | |

the last time i was on a plane i would rather not have picked up a virus that put me in bed for all but the first day of my holiday 
and i'm sure the poor guy sitting next to me would have liked to have killed me for spilling my drink in his lap. 
yeah we deal... and that's why i said i hoped the sentiments were exagerated   She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone to stay | |

Having to sit next to somebody you dont know for 8/9 hours and eat and try to sleep with them 3 inches away from your mug.

Yes, I assume it must be very difficult trying to have sex with somebody in those cramped seats in Economy. But what airline are you flying that they force you to dine and have sex with your neighbour? And why must you both eat and have these sexual relations exactly three inches away from your coffee mug (I'm surprised they even provide coffee mugs!)?  Boy, the English have strange airlines. | |

I love flying! Especially first thing in the morning when they dim the lights!
The only two things that I really don't care for are the seats, the size and leg room... when we land I always feel like I was stuffed in a small box for days. I'm also not fond of people wanting to chit-chat with me. It makes me uncomfortable. | |

Boy, the English have strange airlines.where else could you have sexual relations and get meals and drinks handed to you at the same time? nowhere. as for the coffee mug, I dont go anywhere without it and it must be within my field of vision at all times. I'm not telling you the name of this airline  | |

ps: i have enjoyed flights where i was seated next to small folks who didn't use my space, who smelled fresh and clean and who talked with me quietly, as opposed to bawling at the top of their lungs. let's not forget these types of flights are also possible, and also represent the 'convenience of flying' [Edited 10/14/05 9:27am] | |

i'll be sure to tell the flight attendants to pass out the duct tape to everyone else on your next flight
i do not think our experiences have been any different these particular pet peeves became a bit hyperbolic She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone to stay | |

I hate loud talking on flights and I hate that the flight attendants don't do anything about the loud talking on flights. | |
