8 annoying types of passengers. OMG. We flew recently, and you'd see people carrying on the small suitcases that would NOT fit in the overhead. Then they'd hold up the plane because they'd try to force the stupid thing in, or the stewardess would have to gate check it.

love the 8 annoying travelers rules.. I have never sat next to someone who freshens up in their seat like that and I do take issue with the kid one. Sometime kids are hard to control (we were all that kids at some point) and as long as an honest effort goes into trying everyone else should have a bit of compassion.
