“Everyone knows what is going on under the blanket.”
You know that frustrating passenger on flights? The person who continually asks the flight attendant to turn down the air conditioning, even when they’ve politely explained four times it’s out of their control?
It could be you or it could be the annoying dude man-spreading next to you, either way this type of petulance has not gone unnoticed.
The flight attendants see you. They know you. They remember you.
And now, they’re calling you out online.
A group of disgruntled flight attendants have found their way onto this Reddit thread to answer this one simple question: “Flight attendants of Reddit, what do passengers do that you hate?”
The thread attracted both flight attendants and frequent flyers alike — and you know what? People sure do suck.
So it’s time to give something back. It’s time to put in a little effort for for those impeccably groomed and impossibly patient lads and ladies who put up with your shit all flight long.
We’ve read the thread and here are nine simple take-aways to stop you from being “that guy”. You’re welcome.
1. To anyone wanting to join the mile high club.
Just don’t. Just cause you’re not as unsubtle as Ralph Fiennes does not mean your kanoodling has not gone unnoticed.
As one flight attendant points out: “Everyone knows what’s going on under the blanket.”
Oh yes. They’re on to you.
2. For parents.
This little rule of thumb applies in the air as much as it does on the ground: No one likes your kids as much as you do.
“The floor under your seat is not a diaper bin (yes, actually found one there). I am not a babysitter (yes I was told this once by a mother with a child that was entirely out of control – you know when they board with wearing snow boots in the summer you’re in trouble.) The seat back/tray table is not a coloring book. The lavatory is not a tree house. I could go on and on..”

The sneezers and cougher's who don't bother to cover the spray , and worse still the constant sniffers who get on planes when they are contagious with the outcome of ruining someone else's long awaited holiday when they catch the bug.
Also majorly annoying to me are the ones that can't relax and stay sitting for more than a few minutes, and are constantly jumping up and opening the lockers and rifling through their bag. For what?
I was on a long 10 hour flight recently and the woman in front did this over and over and over and....
We had a tool in front of us in the security line try to bring a bag of tools (spanners, wrenches, screwdrivers, etc) on board! He was shocked they were confiscated!
