Airplanes

Tomorrow I will be on a plane all day. This made me thing of a great blog idea. The 10 people who you don’t want to sit next to on a plane.

1.       That guy that you know has showered or even brushed his teeth all day. You know the one with greasy hair and sweat stains all over his shirt.

2.       When you are on an early flight and all you want to do is sleep but you get sat next to a chatty Kathy. No matter what you do you can’t get them to stop talking!

3.       Or when the person next to you is sleeping and slowly makes their way on to your lap. Awkward.

4.       You get to sit next to a new mommy who is completely unprepared for any baby emergencies. So that baby is crying the whole way.

5.       This is one you may not have thought of but trust me I have actually seen it. The flight attendant has to tell a woman she can’t paint her nails on the flight and she doesn’t want to listen. So that smell of nail polish wafts over to you. Can you say headache?

6.       I like to read on planes its good entertainment. Have you ever gotten the feeling you are being watch? You look over and your neighbor quickly diverts their eyes. Eventually they start to ask you all kinds of questions about your book so you don’t get much reading done.

7.       Then there is also the mom who is completely prepared. A little too prepared even. She pulls out all kinds of food that make the entire plane smell delicious but you are stuck with some salted peanuts.

8.       Or something that is worse and again I know this from experience, a large family brings enough children that they each have one on their lap. They get hungry and pull out an entire Mexican restaurant right there in the plane.

9.       We all like to listen to music on the plane as well but there is always someone who wants to share their music with everyone and they blast their headphones for all to hear.

10.   And finally number 10. This is my personal favorite actually. If you are lucky enough to experience this at least once in your life you will know what I am talking about. The flight is going great until the child behind you starts to kick your seat. It’s like a massage chair that you didn’t want or ask for yet you got it!
