Christina Cauterucci: Why 'The Real L Word' Is Bad For Lesbians
Jeanne Faulkner: The State of the World's Soccer Moms
Taking a flight is irritating enough without having to deal with other inconsiderate passengers. After Josh Duhamel's recent jerkoff behavior mid-flight, we asked you guys: Who are the absolute most annoying people to sit next to on an airplane? Lemondrop readers weighed in on our Facebook page to share with us the fellow passengers we simply can't stand:
"ANYONE :P" -- Leah D
"Lmao.... true true, anyone you don't know." -- Cheryl P
"The person who talks constantly, and asks personal questions. A bit of obligatory small talk is fine since you are in tight quarters. But some people don't recognize the hints of 'I don't want to talk and be your new best friend.' -- Tracey Almon
"Bad breath/B.O. guy." -- Roderick M
"If you're cracking gum, I might just backhand you..." -- Jill L
"I can handle the loud eater, the shuffler, the kids. I can sleep just about anywhere and I'm not above just straight out saying, 'Well, OK, I'm going to rest my eyes now!' then putting my headphones on. What I CAN'T STAND is the person who thinks it's appropriate to douse themselves in perfume/cologne before leaving for the airport." -- AnAnyMouse
"Anyone who takes my armrest!" -- Brittany B
"Probably the badly behaved little boy that won't stop screaming." -- Elizabeth F
"The old snoring lady who has denture breath and spills her coffee everywhere. And anyone who bathed in stinky perfume, anywhere is a nuisance." -- Heather S
"Anyone who smells of smoke, alcohol, bad breath, B. O. or anyone plastered in perfume! Truly makes me feel sick!" -- Mischel S

ME! Because I am the one who has to be the first one off. I usually get a seat in the aisle, way up front, and am ready to leap up as soon as the stewardess says so. I have no patience for the people who stand up, stretch, talk to their flight mates as they are getting their bags. Just get your bag and MOVE! If you think you may hold up the people behind you, then just stay seated and let us off!

The people who refuse to check their oversized bags no matter how much of a nuisance it's going to be for everyone else (including the flight staff). They're always the ones who need help stuffing their suitcase into the overhead compartment, taking up all of the space and forcing those of us who follow the rules to have our correctly-sized carry-ons checked because we weren't in the A boarding group.

For me it's a toss up between bratty kids and their parents, and the person that insists on talking to me throughout the flight. The kids are generally not at fault so much as their parents are for not making them sit down, be good and be quiet. As for the talkative seat mate... I just want to read or sleep on a flight and be left alone.
