I have written this article when I was flying on Tigerair from Singapore to QuanZhou. This is the 5 types of people everyone hates on the plane.
#1 The Gossip-Mongers
The gossip-mongers literally treat the airplane as their home. They speak and crowd around like as if they are having a gathering around the BBQ pit. With my earphones on, and music playing in my earphones, I can still hear the chitty chatty.
On the flight to China, a whole group of aunties were gathering together as if they had a mini fire pit in the middle and they were talking very loudly being oblivious of the flight attendants and other passengers.
#2 The Mambo Jumbo
The mambo Jumbo treats the airplane as their dance floor, they are likely to have forgotten their earphones or intentionally did not bring it. As they play their music loudly and dance to the beats of it.
#3 The Heck Care Parents
The heck care parents kind of forgotten that they have kids, and they allow their kids to roam around and to make a lot of noise on the airplane.
#4 The Stinky Inky
The stinky inky literally treats the airplane as their private jet, they takes off their shoes with their stinky socks, and provides the plane with a weird ‘aroma’. The terrible smell makes you want to puke, and the airplane is as small as it can get and you cant run away from the smell.
#5 The Impatient
The impatient tends to be the first to stand up although the announcement was not given for passengers to leave their seats and the seat belt sign is still on. They can’t wait to leave the airplane and try to squeeze their way out of the airplane as soon as possible but are likely to be the first to squeeze into the airplane.
When I was on the plane from Singapore to QuanZhou, the announcement was adamant that all passengers to be seated until after the airplane come to a complete stop. But there was a very stubborn passenger who decided to go against it and started standing up and opening the overhead compartment to take his hand-carry luggage.
When another passenger shouted across the airplane to ask him to sit down, his reply was that he frequently takes airplane and knows the rules better than she does.
The arrogance of that guy just simply irk me.
Do share with me your thoughts in the comment below
Oooo I hate the stinky inky and the gossip mongers/snorers – probably the two most obvious types. Then there is also the one who is always “ringing the button” to call the air hostess – just to get her attention and be sleazy in general. Urggggh.
ohhhh so true, i personally do not want to come face to face with the above 4, especially stinky inky! XD but i can tolerate impatient people actually. cool with me =)
I also hate the armrest/seat area stealer. It is then that my inner subway rider comes out…and I have sharp elbows 😉
So true! I think the heck care parents might be the worst after my flight from Taipei to NYC with a kid behind me kicking me in the back for 14 hours.
That’s Terrible!
Oh yes, I’ve had them all… Good list 😀
I would add the snorer who is lucky to be sleeping and will make sure you can’t be as lucky… And the sneezer that makes you pray you won’t get sick once you arrive at your destination….! 😉
You should add the window seaters who always get up. You can never get a decent rest bc they have to go the bathroom, stretch their legs, or talk to someone in their group!
Haha, the worst are the impatient ones, the people who just can’t fathom that they can’t actually get off the plane until it is stopped and the doors are open.. It won’t make the plane move any quicker!
Yes agree. Also hate those who try to sit in my seat as well as their own. Or the person that brings more than the required allowance of luggage onboard and then try to squeeze mine out.
Whats worse, the guy who takes of their socks aswell!!! Exposed feet should be a no!
Whether they take off their socks or not, if there is any smell, its disgusting.
Hahaha Im guilty of walking back and forth down the aisle when on a long haul and doing my stretches as I walk. But I swear I do this quietly and when the lights are off.
Hahaha, could not agree more, experienced all of this, applies to other forms of transport as well! Crying babies are my night mare (nothing against them, it’s just the hardest to cope with babies sounds!)
I agree with you! I am more forgiving with crying babies if the parents are embarrassed, but if they are heck-care then it annoys me.
