Most Annoying Habits of Plane Passengers
Sometimes the behaviours and habits of fellow passengers can drive you crazy. According to a recent survey, a number of flight attendants often get infuriated by guests who stuff excess luggage in the overhead lockers. There is also the case that a number of passengers get up and walk around even when the seatbelt sign is on. These small common habits of passengers make the flight attendant’s job difficult, but it also seems that these habits greatly annoy other passengers as well (which isn’t the best when you are stuck in a vacuum sealed metal tube flying over 32,000 feet).
