40+ Rude Plane Passengers Who Made Flying Intolerable
During any flight, there will undoubtedly be a handful of irritable passengers. Some people like to take off their socks and let everyone else smell their foul odors, while others like to hang their long locks over their seat to give you a first-class view. Here are some images of the most obnoxious aircraft passengers in recent memory.
License to Fly
While only a small percentage of people learn to fly, most birds are born with it. Passengers began to panic when they saw this woman with her pet parrot on a trip home for some inexplicable reason.
License To Fly
Certainly enough, they became even more visibly agitated when, halfway through the flight, the parrot decided to flee its owner’s clutches by flying up and down the aisle.
What’s All That Jacket?
Some passengers are unconcerned about where they can store their belongings. This woman completely overlooked the fact that the man behind her was watching TV on a screen similar to the one she was using!
What’s All That Jacket?
Even though the bulk of her jacket covered half of the other passenger’s screen, she had the audacity to hang it on her seat. Please just put it on your lap next time.
Blazing Laptops
Some passengers feel compelled to invade the space of passengers sitting next to them because they don’t have enough space on the plane. Consider this man, who had far too much on his plate during his flight.
Blazing Laptops
One laptop appears to be insufficient for him. He needed one for work and an iPad to watch Blazing Saddles, a western comedy classic. Everything would have been fine if he had requested in advance to use this person’s fold-out table…
Bored to Death
A flight can be one of the most mind-numbingly boring experiences if you don’t have any games, books, movies to watch, or music to listen to. This young lady, on the other hand, was able to find amusement in the most unexpected places.
Bored To Death
The passenger in front of her was uninterested in trying to keep himself entertained and instead settled in for a nap. Despite this, she couldn’t resist taking a selfie with him!
Dreadful Locks
You can’t choose who you fly with, which is a harsh reality. While we have the freedom to choose our friends in the outside world, you are bound to meet a wide range of people you would not normally associate with.
These encounters, however, can sometimes be a little too close for comfort. This person had never met anyone with dreadlocks before and was immediately captivated. But things quickly became awkward, and he had no choice but to expose himself…
The Odd Couple
The longer you spend with someone, the more you become accustomed to their odd habits and odd behavior. This couple is a perfect example of how, no matter where they are, they are completely at ease with each other, flaws and all.
Although the husband can sleep in a normal position, the wife can only sleep comfortably by kicking her feet in the air. This is, quite literally, a match made in heaven.
That’s Not For-Hair
So now you’ve settled in. When the coast is clear to use electric appliances, you’re ready for that long-haul flight and you’ve got that movie ready to watch. However, someone with long hair appears and drapes their tresses over the back of their seat.
We have no idea whether it was a man or a woman. Who cares at this point? What matters is that you’ll be staring at that person’s hair for the next five hours or more. That is true entertainment.
Music to Our Ears
When the flight attendants saw him playing his massive cello on the plane, they couldn’t help but wonder if it was necessary. The passenger, on the other hand, had purchased two seats, one for himself and one for the cello.
To be fair, this person may be acting within their legal rights. Finally, there have been numerous reports of airlines mishandling people’s musical instruments, costing them a small fortune. This takes care of the issue.
Before His Dentist Appointment
Brushing one’s teeth appears to be a non-annoying activity. At the end of the day, everyone is expected to brush their dentures twice a day in order to keep them white.
It’s possible that this man boarded a plane very early in the morning and didn’t get a chance to brush his teeth until he was in the air. In any case, this irritated some passengers. Despite their best efforts, the man continued to brush them aside.
Exercising His Right to Exercise
Though there are numerous forms of entertainment available during a flight, we never imagined that there would be facilities or even room on a plane for serious exercise. Nonetheless, this guy found a spot on the plane where he could do some press-ups.
The only issue is that much of the cabin crew’s work is done at the front of the plane. You could probably have to wait until you’re on land…
So Fresh, So Annoying
It’s a simple fact that many people accumulate odors in their shoes. Sweat accumulates, and foul odors develop as a result. This passenger is well aware of this, and he can’t stand the smell of his own shoes even at the best of times.
He can actually smell it while wearing them. As a result, while on a plane, he came up with a brilliant solution to the problem. He simply blew out the odors with his personal air conditioner…
Caught Red-Handed
When it comes to “body maintenance,” there are some things you can do on a plane, but cutting your toenails isn’t one of them. It would never be acceptable to do this in public, so why would it be acceptable in a confined space like a plane?
It is not only inconvenient for the passenger next to you, but it is also inconvenient for the people who have to clean it up after you have exited the plane.
Easy Exit
When it comes to plane exit doors, passengers have been known to exhibit a wide range of erratic behavior. Some people are desperate to know that no doors on the vehicle can be opened while in flight, which is completely understandable.
Some passengers, on the other hand, are so carefree that they couldn’t care less if they accidentally opened the door. Take this guy, who is literally sleeping with his foot on the door handle.
Poker Foot
Some airlines offer passengers the chance to play a variety of games geared toward different age groups. Children prefer to play games like Tetris and Shoots and Ladders, which are more child-friendly.
Adults, on the other hand, should play card games while waiting for a five-hour flight. Of course, most people play card games, or any computer game, with their hands rather than their feet…
Just Doing Some Laundry
It’s perfectly normal to see passengers on a plane doing some improvised clothing. A sweater could be used as a pillow, and a jacket could be used as a blanket. We’ve never seen a passenger take their wet laundry off a plane and hang it to dry in our lives.
And to this day, that is precisely what this individual did. They not only hung a green shirt, but they also stacked their underwear on top of a seat!
The Game’s Afoot
It’s bad enough to see someone else’s feet while flying. It’s also aggravating to see that person’s feet extend into your personal space. However, the fact that that person’s feet are filthy and likely stinky should be grounds for arrest.
This person appears to have not washed their feet in years and now has the audacity to share their filth with other passengers? Definitely, this guy should be sent to the smelly feet prison.
World Turned Upside Down
How did this person manage to turn around and face the heavens with their feet facing up? Whatever the case may be, there’s no doubt that what this guy was doing irritated a number of passengers on this flight.
Is it really necessary for people to sleep in this manner in order to be comfortable? How long has it been since you slept in this position at home? We won’t have to share these photos again if we just sleep while sitting like everyone else!
Personal Wardrobe
When traveling by plane, some passengers become far too comfortable. While some prefer to kick off their shoes, relax, and display new levels of casual behavior that they wouldn’t show at home, others prefer to take advantage of the baggage compartment.
Although these storage facilities should theoretically be able to accept a handful of bags, this individual had the audacity to use it in an entirely different manner. It served as her personal plane storage.
The Not-So-Hidden Fortress
The situation in this picture appears to have the opposite effect as the others. While many of the other passengers on this list annoy their fellow passengers, it appears that everyone on this flight annoys the man in this photo. He’s the one who is irritated.
As a matter of fact, he decided to construct a makeshift fortress to protect him from various distractions such as crying babies and people with their feet in the air.
Playing No Games
In theory, we’d like to believe that we all retain our playful sides and can open up to children who simply want to play. On a flight, this kid was more than happy to show off their squeaky toy to a complete stranger.
We doubt this passenger will respond positively to the amusing gesture. He must have found it amusing enough to photograph it and post it on social media, though. In any case, it’s a hilarious image.
An Appetite for Frustration
There is no such thing as eating on a plane. Most people will eat something while in the air, whether it is a light snack or a full meal. This lady is no exception, with the airline providing her with an exquisite dinner.
Even so, the fact that she is eating with her feet in the air may make some other passengers uncomfortable. Furthermore, she is eating barefoot, which is frowned upon in some cultures.
Hands On Approach
Many of these photos demonstrate how obnoxious some passengers can be by putting their feet in inappropriate places. Of course, some people can be just as irritating when they leave their long locks hanging behind them for the passenger behind them to see.
Then there are those who feel the need to put their hands in the most unexpected places. Take into account this person, who has no boundaries or anything like that.
You Shall Not Pass!
Many obnoxious passengers will take advantage of the empty seats next to them and decide to lie down. It is technically not illegal. It’s all yours if no one else is allowed to sit there.
Even so, sticking your legs out in a way that prevents people from passing down the aisle is prohibited. Unfortunately, if you are taller than a certain height, this trick will not work.
Nap Time
What fully grown human takes a nap with his teddy bear in the middle of an airplane aisle? With the exception of maybe this guy, no one knows for sure.
Michael, a photographer, took a series of photos of himself imitating a variety of obnoxious plane passengers. This photo, unlike the others on this list, has been completely staged. If you mistook it for one of the real ones, you’d be forgiven.
Lean Back Means Payback
Most plane seats allow you to tilt back so far that you risk invading the space of the passenger behind you. But who would actually do such a thing? This lady, it appears, would.
He ended up using the back of her seat as a kind of forehead rest, thanks to the victim. Nonetheless, he must have been annoyed by this. “If you lean your seat back this far on flights then f*** you,” the person wrote in the caption.
What a Blonderful Flight
As previously stated, there are numerous annoying passengers who will wave their hair over the back of their seat, causing the passenger behind them to be inconvenienced. Do you know what’s worse?
When that passenger abandons you, you have no choice but to pick up a book and read. Yes, we bring those 300-page tomes on the plane, but only as a last resort. Here it is, ladies and gentlemen…
Someone Should Shoe This Guy
There have already been numerous photos in this article of people putting their feet in the front passenger seat while flying. Because there is no one in front of him, this person may be less annoying.
As a result, the water is clear. Right? Right? Wrong! This guy was still caught by a snooping photographer, and his embarrassing photo is now all over the internet. He deserved it for being so laid-back.
A Time & a Place
We all have to cut our fingernails every now and again. It may not be the most enjoyable pastime. It’s just something you have to do now and then.
Did this person, however, believe that the best time to use the nail clippers would be on a plane, surrounded by people? Everyone is aware of how those nail pieces can fly in all directions…
Take Cover!
The kids on a plane are the most hypersensitive passengers when it comes to strange smells and odors. Kids can smell anything from a mile away, especially if they’re trapped on a plane with over a hundred other people.
When someone has the audacity to stomp their socky foot in your face, however, you are likely to react negatively – especially if you are a child. This kid was no different.
What Are You Trying to Pull?
You’d think that children would know better than to pull the hair of the person in front of them on a plane, but it appears that these two siblings had never seen dreadlocks before and were unaware that they were hair.
They assumed they were some sort of toy that they could pull at first, and who knows? Perhaps it would make a sound. Naturally, the man with the dreadlocks made a noise afterward.
Here Come’s Annoying Man
Who’d have guessed they’d be on the same plane as Spider-Man himself, Peter Parker? We’d be surprised if anyone on this flight believed the man in this costume was the man who shoots webs from his hands.
