Dudes on Planes

Lots of material here, for sure.

I'll start with the jackass in first class who got a once-in-a-lifetime upgrade for no good reason. He makes eye contact with every person who boards the plane to ensure that EVERYONE realizes that he is in the first class cabin.

Reclining seat-guy - even on the short flights - the ones where you can recline for only 15-20 minutes he takes the opportunity to jam his seat back into your lap. Funny thing is that you don't really get more space when you recline.

4-foot-bag-in-overhead-guy - no matter what happens, this guy is going to shove his absurdly large carry-on into the overhead compartment. He usually gets on last and will fuck up any other shit in the compartment. This guy usually looks around at some point and feels like everyone else is at fault.

"freak-went" flyer loser guy - desperate that everyone knows how many segments he flies each week. Loves to tell meaningless stories that include him traveling to what he thinks are exotic locations. Thinks he knows all the flight lingo and tries to pal around with the crew who only wish they can throw him out the emergency hatch without a parachute.

fat-ass-take-too-much-room-guy - obvious and a too-easy target

armrest-owner-guy - feel like the shared armrest between you and him was made expressly for him. Will go to great lengths to keep ownership of this shared territory.

The winner of the most annoying Dude on the Plane is the freak who thinks his endless string of silly-ass trips to unimportant destinations makes him a sophisticated, world traveler. He is the frequent flyer tool who wants everyone to know how much he is on airplanes. You know it if this is you!

  1. A few more...

    Loud cell phone guy - think there should be a text only policy on planes. I do not need to hear some ass clown yelling into his phone barking orders to some associate at headqurters. I swear I think some of the time that there ins't even a human being on the other end.

    Lazy can't take computer off of shoulder guy - There is no room to walk down the aisle of a plane with bags on both shoulders. Can these guys really not feel the impact of their bags on people's faces??? These guys are usually the loud talking cell-phone guys as well.

    Overly annoyed guy - this is the guy who can't understand how de-icing a plane's wings is more important than getting him to his destination on time. Or why flying into hurricane winds is such a problem. He has shit to do!
