Flying in an airplane can be an interesting experience. The moment you step onto the aircraft you have no idea what will come your way for the next few hours. It's hard to know what to expect, especially the types of people who will be seated around you. Here is a heads up of the 15 types of people that you may encounter on a flight. If you have ever been on an airplane, I am sure that you have at least met one of these lovely individuals.
1. The important businessman/woman-
Usually, they are the people who seem to ignore everyone around them because they think they are the most important people on the flight. You will find them in first class with their laptop out typing ferociously the entire flight. Their fancy briefcase will be under the seat in front of them, and you will wonder how they are are wearing a suit or a fancy dress on this flight...wouldn't that be so uncomfortable?
2. The gum smacker-
This one will drive you up the wall. If you are super lucky, it will be the person seated right next to you. He/she will pull out his pack of gum, unwrap about two huge pieces and smack it at warped speed throughout the ENTIRE flight. Even headphones won't be able to keep the sound out. By the end of the flight, the sound will be cemented into your brain that you won't be able to un-hear it for days.
3. The college student-
The college sweatshirt, the huge backpack, and looking annoyed while reading a chem textbook. You will be able to spot this one right away.
4. The annoying couple-
The couple usually seated in front of you or if you are lucky, right next to you who will not stop kissing, cuddling, and who knows what else the ENTIRE flight.
5. The story-teller-
The person seated next to you who feels the need to tell you his/her entire life story throughout the three-hour flight.
6. The person who bathed in perfume/cologne-
Might want to bring some nose plugs. Nothing is worse that smelling this the entire flight. One spray is enough people.
7. The music blaster-
NOBODY else wants to hear your music. That is why you have headphones. You cannot tell me that you can only hear your music when it is at full blast. If so, you may have a problem. It gets even worse when they start dancing to the music.
8. The chip eater-
This one is even worse than the gum smacker.
*Crunch, Crunch, Bag Rattle, Crunch Crunch, Bag Rattle, CRUNCH, CRUNCH!
9. The crying baby-
Babies are adorable but just might drive you crazy on a plane. Once one baby starts crying, they all do. If you have ever been on a flight with a baby who cries the ENTIRE way, you know what I mean.
10. The nervous wreck-
There is almost always that one person who comments 379134891 times about how scared they are. How he/she hates airplanes and had a dream the night before that the plane crashed. They may even scream when the plane takes off.
11. The person who excessively leaves their seat-
This, of course, is always the person who is seated by the window so everyone in the entire row has to get up to let him/her go to the bathroom or grab something from their bag 100 times.
12. The seat kicker-
NOTHING IS MORE ANNOYING! It's even worse because you don't know how to tell them to stop without sounding like a douche.
13. The heavy breather-
It's even worse when they have bad breath.
14. The one who thinks they know everything about flying-
Constantly comments on the type of plane, the altitude, what he/she thinks the pilot should do, etc. If they are hardcore, they might even pull out a flight map.
15. The loud and smelly food eater-
The person who brings on food that stinks up the whole plane and smacks their food.
15. The clapper-
Yep, we made it safely but here is really no need for an applause. A thank you to the pilot as you walk off the plane will suffice.
