If there’s one thing we can all agree, it’s that annoying plane passengers are the worst.
Whether it’s your seat neighbour stealing your armrest, someone talking loudly when all you want to do is sleep, or that kid behind you kicking your seat, we all know how irritating these people are.
But what if I told you that to the flight attendant, you might be the annoying passenger? Flight attendants have dished on the most annoying passenger behaviour on Reddit, and chances are you’re guilty of one or two.
Relying on them for your rubbish disposal.
Former flight attendant Inked1986 said his biggest message to passengers was to throw their own rubbish away and not rely on the cabin crew to do it for them. They advise taking any leftover rubbish with you when you leave and throwing it in the bin on the plane or the airport on your way out.
And absolutely DO NOT leave your rubbish in the seat-back pocket.

Calling BS on the "don't press the call button unless it's an emergency" line. On a full service carrier like Qantas, customers are ENCOURAGED to ask if they feel the crew can assist in any way to make their flight more comfortable or enjoyable. That includes fetching drinks. I know lots of flight crew don't like the service part of their job, but it is part of what the customers are paying for.
I agree. I thought the button is specifically to request the flight attendant if you needed them (particularly during long haul flights when they often disappear for hours), and I thought the towels were to freshen up (not scrub your groin, mind you, but not just for your hands). And sometimes you have to mention a short stop over to an attendant (if there's been a delay) as often they will have useful information like "go straight to the front of the cue" or "that plane has been informed of our delay as there are a number of passengers connecting to it from this flight" etc.I'm going to keep being annoying!!
