I was on an airplane recently and had an interesting experience. First off, I was flying from Miami to New York and generally Miami has lots of Spanish-speaking people, so, of course, the lady next to me didn't speak English. I struggled quite a bit trying to communicate with her because she seemed like she wanted to talk a lot. She even fed me (I'm not complaining). And I, gladly, took her pringles and M&Ms. But I couldn't really thank her because of the language barrier.But either way, I've come to notice that there are some strange people on airplanes. And I guess I was lucky that I got the overly friendly type who shares snacks with complete strangers. Here are the types of people I've noticed on an airplane.

1. The sleeper

They'll be passed out the whole flight and you'll wonder if they're even conscious

2. First-time flyer

There's always one on your plane- and you'll know one when you see one. When the plane is on the brink of taking off, they will hold on to their friend's hand for their life. Or anxiously grab the seat in front of them as if they'll fly out of their seat when the plane takes off. They chew their gum frantically hoping to diminish the ear-popping. Or, since they're inexperienced, they won't be chewing any gum. They'll just shut their eyes, hold on tight and pray that they'll make it out alive.

3. Window watcher

They don't care if the person next to them is trying to sleep. They will keep the window open for as long as they can, letting the bright light shine through. Their eyes will never leave the window. It's as if they've never seen clouds before.

4. Cry baby

This one is self-explanatory, and there's one on every plane. Watch out for the crying baby.

5. Loud talker

Even if the plane's dead silent, they'll still be talking. They'll be the only noise you hear all throughout the trip. You'll learn so much about them by the time the plane lands.

6. Room hogger

Only one armrest per person? Who cares. Only one seat per person? Who cares. The room hogger doesn't care one bit about the people sitting next to them. They will rest their arm on your armrest, spread their legs so they force you to move to the edge of your seat. And they do it all with no shame.

7. Book reader

I glance over and I see a man flipping through the pages of a thick book. Meanwhile there I am sitting down listening to music as a man next to me was productive enough to finish an entire 500-page book from cover to cover in the span of 3 hours. And I wonder how they did it with the screaming baby in the background.

8. Does nothing

They frantically search for things to do. They finished all the crossword puzzles, looked through the airplane's magazine cover to cover, looked out the window, attempted to use the nonexistent wifi, and have finally given up. They proceed to stare into space, looking at the time on their watch.

9. Too close for comfort

Takes out travel pillow, slips off shoes, slips off socks, reclines seat all the way back, lays down, shuts eyes. Maybe ends up falling asleep on stranger's shoulder. But who cares, they're comfy.

10. Exploding bladder

As long as they don't have the window or middle seat, all is good in the world. If they do, well then prepare to get out of your seat multiple times throughout the flight, with no formal warning.

11. The dreaded conversationalist

Just when you thought you'd get to have a nice nap on this plane ride, the lady next to you starts telling you her life story. I had this happen to me, but, thankfully she proceeded to stop because she recognized I did not speak Spanish.

12. Seat stealer

Usually, they don't intentionally try to steal your seat. But a stressed out passenger who has just arrived late for their flight enters the plane to only realize that there is someone sitting in their seat. Usually it ends up that that person was completely clueless, but either way, it's kinda funny to watch.

13. The binge-eater

They take a flight as the perfect excuse to stock up on snacks. They'll be eating pringles, gummy bears, oreos- any binge-worthy snack. They spent 30+ dollars on snacks and will be munching away all flight long.
