Annoying things that happen on a flight

Why do you bother flying if all these things annoy you so much?

For the excitement and meeting flying people

I find the only way to cope with drunk obnoxious rowdy holidaymakers on a flight is to get absolutely shiitefaced. Although I hate being drunk on a plane, headache guaranteed.

Being diverted. Happened twice to me. First time was on the way home from Tenerife to Heathrow and we diverted to Madrid. Had to swap planes due to engine failure! :eek:

Second time was on the way home from Majorca to Dublin. We ended up in Shannon due to thunderstorms over Dublin. Spent three hours in Shannon and flew on to Dublin only to land in a thunderstorm. :eek:

Went to America 11 years ago, the in-flight movie was Far & Away with Tom Cruise and that horrible accent of his. There was some other Oirish film that was equally terrible.

On the way home, they played those 2 movies again

Coming home from Santa Ponza on what seemed like Con Air for children, just so many screaming and crying little punks throughout the entire flight.

I eventually managed to pass out but I woke up when we landed in Shannon to the pungent aroma of vomit and poo that was horrific along with the still screaming and crying children. Most people on the flight had their mouths covered so somebody made an awful mess somewhere, I was hungover and couldn't hack this thick hot air of arse and stomach content fumes I had to breath in.

Door opened and we were greeted with black clouds and pissing rain, holiday was well and truly over then.

Our flights over in America were fùcked up this year from cancelled and delayed flights due to maintenance and "We can't find our pilot".

The worst was when we were put on a small propeller plane for what was supposed to be a short flight. It had broken air conditioning and the plane refused to take off unless 6 people volunteered to leave so everyone sat there for an hour boiling inside this plane with an intense summer sun beaming through the windows.

The engines finally started and was the loudest fùckin' thing I'd ever heard, the entire plane was rattling and shaking and felt like it was held together with blu-tak. Nobody could talk because you couldn't even hear your own voice if you shouted and sweat was just dripping off me. The seats on that plane were probably rank after all of us oozing our juices into their fabric.

Felt bad for the air hostess though, she had to put up with this shìt for 3 more flights after us and she looked like she was dunked in a bath.

I knew that plane was fùcked because we got on a same model plane a week later and it didn't sound like it was chewing gear cogs while cooking everyone inside.

DJs on painkillers and alcohol

People who use my seat back as a crutch to prop themselves up to get out of there seat.

Was sitting in front of some fat prick and every time he got up from his seat he used my seat back as a crutch to get himself out. First couple times I was OK about it, but after the third time I waited for Him, and when I felt him pulling my seat back, I pressed my recliner button. His pressure cause the seat to collapse straight back and I heard him him fall back onto to the seat like a tonne of lard.

I had a chuckle! Few of my fellow passengers found it entertaining too!

When I was flying to Canada the chap sitting beside me covered himself in a towel and masturbated for the majority of the flight...

I call BS on this.

Russian separatists with surface to air missiles annoy the ****e out of me when flying.

Just remember, on a plane, you are CONTINUOUSLY being farted on. Everyones at it, non-stop, cus no one thinks you can hear them.
