Get them a shot of rum and make them shut up for Christ sake... Here in the Philippines they also seem to have a huge problem following simple instructions about turning off their cell phones on the plane... Yes I know you are the most important person in the world, but turn the damn phone off before you cause a freggin' disaster... Or even worse screw up the navigation so we accidentally land in the Middle East(no bloody alcohol there)...

I'm not kidding, sometimes I want to get up and just punch people in the face for stuff like that. John Oh yeah, you are absolutely right. I HATE that.

Why do so many people do that? Why can't they hoist themselves up using the arm rests? When you're in the seat in front of one of these dolts, you feel like you're being attacked when they grab your headrest and pull down on it with their whole body weight.

Awesome post, John! I'm just about to post a blog entry about why I love travel, and then I read this. I have to admit, the worst thing possible on a flight is when some tosser decides to recline! I'm 6ft 2" and some a-hole 5ft 2" guy is sat in the exit row. DO NOT RECLINE WITH ME BEHIND YOU! I *WILL* THROW MY KNEES IN TO YOUR SEAT EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES UNTIL YOU RETURN TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION! (Yes, I'm like that. If you recline without asking, I'll give you hell!) And then of course there are the babies and kids. I can't really rant about the babies, because there isn't much one can do, but when kids of 10 year old and above are not controlled I'm going to make it known and trip one of them up as they run in to me! A few years back I managed to get an exit row seat for the first time (We were asked if we wanted it at check in because we were both well over 6ft). Of course, a couple rows back were five kids from 10 years old to 16 years old. Throughout the whole damn flight they congregated in the exit row space. My space! Unfortunately, for my five flights next month (Yes, five flights in a week!), I haven't managed to get an exit row seat for any. :( I have, however, been on SeatGuru.com and I believe I've got some of the best economy, non-exit-row seats on the plane. With a little luck I'll get by without kids. Without recliners. Without a wrestler sat next to me, and without somebody with a rat up their rear! Now... back to writing this blog entry about why I love travel. :D ROFL.
