Those that treated the very first row of the middle section on the economy plus as an aisle between either side of the aircraft row seats. My leg space is not your aisle ya lazy bitch, walk around to your seat the proper fucking way.

I think that's a mating call for "cake eaters". I hear cake eating is standard practice when dating now.

That the captain never asks me; I need some help, can you come over to the flight deck?

Lack of any kind of decency on the part of the airlines. Oh, sorry no flight tonight, we took your money, we just are not going to do the flight and we have no idea what you are going to do now, but you are done. Go sleep somewhere and return later and we will see what we can do...the people on the phone are in some other country and have no idea what is going on, just do not understand how they get away with this all the time.

Your theory about the cabin pressure isnt tenably, if you're feeling compressed by increasing the pressure into the cabin, your myringas would gone torned before.
Trying to interpret your meaning is tough, but you don't really understand aircraft pressurization. It has LESS pressure than ground level. Aircraft are pressurized to 8,000 feet, which is significantly less than sea level. This causes bloating. It also causes baby's ears to hurt because they can not pop like adults.

People clapping at take-of or landing.

As soon as the plane gets to the jetway/terminal and people jump up to rush to the front of the plane. UNLESS they are attempting to catch a late connection, but they rarely are.

Eating gross food that has some sort of odor.

On Southwest, making a particular point in the queue up line to check everyone elses position number. As long as you're in between the right poles, relax.

Reclining without asking the person behind you.

Any over abundance of carry-on paraphernalia (Purse + briefcase + huge carry-on) that the owner is ill equipped to stow and handle on their own.

Not being able to stow ones own luggage....barring some medical/age issue, of course.

Not being able to read the person you are sitting next to in regards to their willingness, or interest, in having a conversation.

Not knowing the process for TSA Pre-check, even though one has TSA pre-check.

Dressing like a complete slob in the airport/airplane. One can be comfortable and not wear their pajama pants with "Sugar Daddy" candy emblems on there.

People (parents with small children or solo adults) who do not clean up after themselves while deplaning. The FA's are not your maids....clean up after yourselves, savages.

I wont argue with you but let me say this: Its true that the cabin pressure is making your myringas popping and if you are ill and the inner liquid ear channels are swollen, then it hurts double because your body isnt really ready to react onto this. But into relation on bodies I would rate the pressure rate as effect for bloating at 100 people for less than 7. That depends on more than just the overall body mass and just breathing the air. The pressurization level of an aircraft varies between 6500 and 8000ft, this depends on more than just the type.
The cabin isnt a fully closed duct but a space with a lot of openings. To keep the pressure constant its necessary to add it in batches after reaching the preset sensor limit. Those pushes are causing sometimes more inconvenience because they are higher dosed than just pumping up the cabin before take off. This is to be felt more into the cabin as into the cockpit, also a cause of size of the space and the locations of the inlet valves.

You can do that from any seat. I want to look out the window, jackass.
They want to lean against something.

THE WORST is when some ASSHAT opens their window blind when it's still dark within the interior cabin (long international, generally), and the light of a million supernovas shines in. AND HE KEEPS IT OPEN. Absolutely ruined my ability to sleep & my flight as a whole.

That guy sat across from me way on the other side when I flew to Germany last summer. Fuck him and his entire family.

When economy class passengers make eye contact with me on their way back to the cattle room.

I spend way too much time flying but I still enjoy it. I cross the pacific 20x per year.

Thats why I prefer a plane like the A380 so the peasants in economy dont dare bring their stench into my purified air. Makes me sick to even think about the possibility of one of these serfs looking at me.

I do this. I have no issue with it. If you wanted to look out the window you should have picked a window seat. Otherwise you really get no say in it.

Yup, I like to look out the window sometimes, but also use the wall to lean against as said by another poster. It's a lot easier for me to sleep on a plane leaning against the wall/window.

Same, I also go to the bathroom before I get on a plane(everyone should) so I never have to get up and be bothered by people. I let the middle guy have both arm rests and I hug the wall. It's the most comfortable seat for me. If I want light I have it and to see out, if I don't I close it so I can work on my laptop or watch a movie etc. I keep my screen on the dimmest I can so the battery lasts longer(important on long flights) So the sun coming in can be a PITA also there is Glare sometimes etc. Fuck I feel like I travel too much having this all figured out. To go on I always try and pick 23 or something in the back 1/3. Yes you get off later but you usually board earlier so you are guaranteed a place in the overhead. F checking bags. I am a man of action.
