Top Flying Frustrations

[RooFlyer]

Slight peeve but people that totally, 100% disregard the FA doing the safety instruction when the FA is standing right there, doing their thing.

BIGGEST peeve of mine - because you know that the ignorant coughs talking/reading etc through the safety briefing are the ones who are going to get in your way during the emergency exit.

That said, only slightly lesser peeve are FAs who allow loud talkers to carry on right in front of them during the safety briefing.

I just ask how their last landing was.....

As a passenger I really don't like that feeling of drifting above the runway when it should be bumping along the tarmac. I also remember a cousin of Mum's who flew some of the early jets saying that landing was a controlled crash.

Surprised nobody has mentioned sitting stuck in your seat with empty plates/rubbish in front of you for an hour or so before they come and collect it again...too many J flyers here??

how about clapping in the cabin after a successful landing?
