YES, YES, YES....

It is the same wanker that does it immediately after the plane has taken off, and before the meal is served. He/She needs to get 40 minutes sleep in before the food is served.

I try and pay a little extra at booking or seat reservation to get the extra leg room seats to negate the joy of these tosspots.

All of that and the above as well. Also I hate that the sheer number of flights at Heathrow and Gatwick means it takes ages to take off and land causing delays. Stop listening to nimbys and build some more runways. Apart from New York I have never been anywhere else in the world where this is such a problem.

I cant comprehend just how much of a selfish dickhead you have to be to do this. So annoying

Did you notice its absence from PeterH's list of in-flight annoyances though?

For something so obvious, it was conspicuous by its absence. Very suspect.

I saw on a program, I can't remember which one, there is on the market a simple gadget that you can slyly fix to the chair in front of yours that prevents it from reclining.

The fact that El Mexicana in Sutton appears to have closed.

BBC motd97 or whatever they call themselves glorifying the wankstain cantona

:rolleyes: Black Friday now has become entrenched in the never ending treadmill of commercial scams to enslave mankind. Christmas, Easter, Valentines, Mothers, Father's Day (be good to them all year), Firework night and the complete nonsense of Halloween. Get rid of the lot and just give spontaneously and sincerely.

That has to be of the most annoying/frustrating things ever.

The plane lands early and you get sort of excited, only to be stuck on a taxiway for an hour because there is no gate available.

It inevitably happens every time at the big hub airports in The US. What is the point of taking off on time only to sit on the runway for an inordinate time when you land at the other end. Seems to get worse as the day goes on for obvious reasons. So many people missing connections.

A year or so back coming from Hawaii to Los Angeles (a 5 hour flight), we landed a little early, and proceeded to spend the next hour and half taxing around the airport looking for somewhere to park - The controllers kept moving the plane to keep taxiways clear. A bit like Sainsbury's car park I guess. You could tell even the captain was getting pissed off! At least we were home and I didn't have to get up the next morning...

So it only works if you have the tray down? Not sure which is worse to be honest?

I never recline my seat. Probably why I cant sleep on flight TBH.

Dont worry you wouldnt have a tray for too long.

On long-haul flights when the rear rows are called you are always stood in the queue with someone in front obviously holding a ticket with a row 20 rows forward to those called. That person in front always still manages to board anyway and is never held back.

When your rows 45 to 65 are called you will always meet someone at row 30 (that hasn't been called) who is leisurely unpacking things between the locker and his seat. This person then gives a black look at the growing queue waiting for him to shift out the way. In the 45 minutes the guy was sat twiddling his thumbs at the gate he never thought to put his bits and bobs in a carrier bag to take to his seat so he could just sit straight down after stowing his main bag.

People stood in the aisle next where you are seated and you just know that you are going to be asked if you could move so that someone can sit with their partner or friend. Not only on the plane but Singapore airlines have pulled me out the queue twice asking if I can move my selected seat to accommodate people who want to sit together.

I simply leave my knees exactly where they were before the seat was reclined when this happens. The seat invariably returns to its upright position before long

Something I am seeing more and more is the latest craze on flights, where you board the plane and put your hand luggage in the first available space, then proceed to the back of the plane where your seat is. Thus blocking the luggage space for people sitting near the front.
I find this quite annoying

My wife announcing that she has decided WE should go vegetarian........and then not understanding my logic when I announced that I have decided WE should become alcoholics.

Alcohol is, I believe, mostly vegetarian so it's a win:win for your household

I will bring that up at the next meeting. :p

The thought of eating a meal that doesn’t contain a form of meat disgusts me. Even if my miss Andyo was to cook a pasta meal I always say okay, but make sure it has meat in it. Fruit is the only thing I can eat which doesn’t contain meat, and even that I often think would go okay with chicken.
