There was one of those on my last trip. I felt bad for the kid but I really wanted to kick the parents.

But yes, the fact people stand up immediately as if there aren't 50 people in front of them... blows my mind. You just sat for 3 hours, what's another 2 minutes?

I mean, really, why should it take a person more than one flight with an awkward carry-on to think, "Hey, maybe I should get a different bag that actually fits in the overhead bin?" However, my biggest flight annoyance is the phenomenon where a majority of the people who, upon the seatbelt light going off, leap out of their seats, grab their stuff, and lunge towards the front. Unless you've got an insanely short layover, chill out and we can all get off this plane in a timely manner. These are all classics.

I understand that some people just bring carry-on luggage, but, seriously, why must people bring enormous wheeled monsters for a 2 hour flight? So agreed– particularly on the overhead bin guy.

I intentionally change in the airport bathroom just so I can do it in jeans and watch how I'm treated differently. Hahah I love your last comment–I do the same on occasion.

My favorite passengers are the ones who fly a lot but still do not understand the security process... "Oh, I can't bring this gallon jug of vaseline?" "Elites" who feel the need to block the boarding area. I know that overhead space is limited but come on, sit down and wait. It really gets to me when I happen to be sitting in First and the people blocking the gate look at me like I'm in the wrong place (I look young). Sorry, my boarding pass reads "1B".
