“Its” should be “It’s”, the contraction for “it is”, not the possessive pronoun.

I really wanna see more of these types of things! Like seating at the cinema or at the zoo or something. Anyway, funny graph, I like it. But why no obnoxious children who poke you through the gaps between the seats? They really annoy me…

The gum-smacker should be a person who also has panic attacks and airsickness, and therefore chews gum to avoid it. That makes the last circle a choice; gum-smacker, puker, or panicker.

Not shown on the graph is the whiny grammar nazi, seated to the far left of “me”.

Your English is just wrong. Either learn the language or deal with the criticism. Its even in the very first circle. Remember what your third grade teacher (and your mom) said about first impressions?

They forgot ‘The Talking Stranger’. These are people that ramble on and on about absolutely nothing for the whole (or at least most of the) flight. Car’s Salesmen are notorious for it -_-;

They’re not a bad sleeper, they just can’t sleep without leaning on themselves. See, they can only sleep in the fourth dimension. The third dimension isn’t good enough for them.

It’s a typo. A typo is barely a reason to complain about lack of education.

Conversely, what about the stick thin person who doesn’t need the stomach or leg room who HAS TO PUT THE SEAT BACK SO MUCH that they repeatedly fly backwards into your lap, crushing your knees in the process. And, no matter how many times you gently push back to remind them that there’s a human behind them, they resiliently shove you, breaking your kneecaps as they do so.

Of course, I just repeatedly kick the back of their seat until they give up on sleeping on me.

One of my favorite airplane seating stories is when I was in the middle with a morbidly obese man in the aisle seat (he was literally sticking halfway out into the aisle). I was trying to watch a movie, and it kept suddenly switching channels on me. I then realized that one of my neighbor’s many fat rolls had plopped on top of the armrest between us and pushed the button to change my channel. He didn’t even seem to notice when I moved a piece of his fat roll aside to change the channel back.

Never flown alone so I’m usually on the same row as my parents and/or sibling so I don’t have to deal with strangers sitting next to me, but it seems I always get someone in front of my who thinks it is okay to put their seat all the way down, it is ridiculous that they allow it. I just jam my knees into the back of it so they can’t.

One time on a flight I wanted to take my Ipod out of my purse, so i lift up my legs to pull my purse out from below the seat in front of me. At that moment the lady in front of me reclines her seat as far as she could and I was trapped. This was during the first fifteen minutes of a five hour flight. And then the guy on my right began to lean on me. And then the lady on my left began snoring. And then I really had to pee. Yeah. It sucked

Another time I was flying from Amsterdam to Oslo (I have relatives in Norway), and I was so tired from the 9 hr flight from Los Angeles to Amsterdam, that I was trying to get some sleep on the plane. There was this whiny little brat behind me who kept kicking my seat, and every time I almost fell asleep the kid would kick my seat again.

By: that1person

that1person — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 19:31:15 +0000

ugh… this graph is so true! I was on a flight from London to Oslo last summer, and there was this guy sitting next to me who was eating this food from whatever country he was from, and it smelled like crap. And once he finished one bag of it, he pulled out another… and another… and another… so eventually I just took off my sweater and buried my face in it to avoid the scent…

Im generally seated between a fat dude and a stinky person(so i have to lean close to stink in order not to touch the mass of fat), while there is a kicking child behind me, and 2 ppl trying to talk to each other to the back-left and right of me. the ppl infront are generally over-recliners, or people who toss rubbish behind them. hitting me in the face

The person in the center is part of the problem if they are also obese, a brat, a bad sleeper, and possibly someone with a bladder problem as that graph shows. It’s a vicious circle

I have not flown far in my life, I believe in total, 6 flights in my life
And never in my life have I encountered any of these people
I remember a near empty-flight to Helsinki…..and umm a flight filled with goths from Leipzig, but that’s about it, none of this

-900 points. Correcting basic English skills is not wrong, even if it makes the lazy and incompetent uncomfortable. Think of it as a civic duty.

No, it’s easier if you’re in the aisle, because you can get out of your seat and stand aside. If you’re in the middle, as in the graph, and the person in the window seat needs to pee, you have to awkwardly stand (if you’re tall, your head is now sideways) but can’t really move out of the way.

I’ve been on that flight. You also missed the obnoxious drunk and the chatterbox. And, for overnight flights, the person who wants to sit up and read with the overhead light on. In the daytime, it’s the window seat person who wants to look out the window and won’t draw the shade for the movie.

Heard a story about a seat-kicking child. The guy whose seat he was kicking finally turned around and asked the parents to make him stop. The father’s reply was, “Hey, I paid for this seat!” The first guy then says to him, “But you didn’t pay for mine!”
