To travel by way of an airplane is to put yourself in an unpredictable arena. You just never know if you’re going to end up seated next to, behind, or in front of a waking nightmare of a human being. Some people possess zero self-awareness when they travel. This can result in you having to deal with enraging or downright unacceptable behavior. For instance, the person who puts their foot up against your chair and almost on your armrest. Get out of here with that. We’ll take a look at the most annoying airplane moments people endured this week.
1. “The woman next to me on my flight is watching a musical without headphones.”
“Use your phone to play the same musical about 15 seconds off her play time so there’s always an echo.” – u/HaifaLutin
“I second sing badly to the musical.” – u/jerryelectric
2. “This passenger put her bare foot in between my armrests during a 10 hour flight. I noticed when I felt her toenails on my arm.”
This passenger put her BARE FOOT inbetween my armrests during a 10 hr flight! I noticed when I felt her toenails on my arm. Ew.

“This happened to me on a 9 hour Trans Atlantic flight. Asked if I could swap to a seat where the screen was working. Flight attendant came back a few minutes later stating the passenger beside the only spare seat didn’t want me to move there. I took a look later and fond that passenger was using said seat for their hand bag.” – u/LCARSgfx

10. “These hand sanitizers at Sydney Airport are empty and every single person on the flight has touched them before realizing. They are literally doing the opposite of their job.”
Yeah, that seems like that wasn’t the idea of the hand sanitizer bottles. Best to opt for the nearest restroom.
11. “Delta Airlines idea of a window seat.”
“I had this happen a few weeks ago on Alaska. Frontier cancelled my flight an hour before take off. I rescheduled to Alaska Airlines later that night. That flight was delayed for 2 hours, but they upgraded me to extra leg room seats. I get to my row and it’s a wall with no windows.” – u/yomaam44
