Especially #1.
How about when someone’s let’s their blubber hang over the armrest?
I am sometimes guilty of #7 (using seat to pull myself up), though I try to make it as unobtrusive as possible; I agree with all of them.
How about waiting in line at an airport and a smoker next to you drops flaming cigarette ashes on your suit lapel, burning holes in it? Happened to me, of course.
To me, #1 would be when the person in front of you lowers their seat-—— to your lap!!
It’s been decades since I saw someone smoking in an airport.
Just thinking about the air travel experience.
My number one is complainers.

...
Also happens in many more places than the airplane.
Chain reaction sympathetic passenger vomiting in rough weather is always rather amusing.
“To me, #1 would be when the person in front of you lowers their seat-—— to your lap!!”
I came off a flight yesterday. I wish the seats would recline enough to be in your lap. They move back maybe 2”, maybe. There is no way it would be in your lap. I’ve been traveling commercial almost 30 years. People who get bent out of shape for people who recline their seat should, just, recline their own seat. See, problem solved!!
It was in an airport: might have been foreign [flaming cigarette ashes dropped on my suit lapel].
Complainers Just Tick Me Off!
Crying about Everything,
It never Ends.
On,
and On.
This survey further validates my 1996 vow to not fly again.
I’d rather drive and enjoy our beautiful country. Doing so eliminates all these pet peeves.
At least ask them if they’ve brought a condom!
Why was he a loser? He was one of those idiots who thinks he can lay his suit out all nice and unbothered taking up a huge amount of space in the overhead.
My pet Peeve: Too much (or too big) of carry on luggage. Close behind that is people who bring on carryon and cannot lift it into the over head.
Should buy yerself a horse so you wouldn’t have to put up with rude drivers either. ;<)
I think that they should eliminate the recline completely. If it only goes back 2" then why should anyone feel the need to recline? It's a psychological trick: Oooh! I get to control some minor aspect of my environment by reclining the seat two whole inches! Aren't I the BMOP (Big Man On Plane).
The airlines could significantly increase safety and also save costs if they got rid of this annoying nuisance that gives a few people a false sense of control, while making may others much more miserable, especially given the ever narrowing space between rows.
