We’ve all been around those travelers who aren’t the most aware of their surroundings. Some pet peeves I’ve heard from other travelers include:
Complaining about how the menu isn’t like it is back home doesn’t help. If you’re in Italy…you’re not in America. Things are different.
Crowding the baggage claim carousel. Trust me…the bags will be unloaded. Shoving your way in front of someone doesn’t make yours come out faster.
Taking up the entire overhead bin on the plane. The flight attendants make the announcement to store smaller items under the seat in front of you for a reason.
Hurrying in front of someone to get off the plane. It’s an orderly process and someone crowding ahead of others isn’t appreciated. If you have a tight connection, tell a flight attendant and they can assist you.
This one is always an issue at some point…reclining your seat all the way back. Have you done that? Has someone done that to you?
How about the security line? Have you stood and waited while the person in front didn’t know they had a belt on, their bottle of shampoo was too large, or they don’t know what to do with their phone? I understand if the person hasn’t flown in many, many years. Otherwise, get prepared ahead of time. Those in line behind you will appreciate it.
