Not Ready Guy
“The first one is the person that gets up to the Travel agent and THEN they go looking for their boarding pass and their ID,”.
You’ve been behind this person before. It’s the guy who spends 10 minutes or more in the security line watching the entire process and it never occurs to them that they should be prepared when it’s their turn.
Just a Minute Guy
This is the passenger who gets through the security line and then seemingly takes forever to repack their bag, put their belt and shoes back on and decides to do it at right at the end of the conveyor belt.
“I’m always amazed at the people that have blinders on….They’re in their own little world and they may not care that they’re holding you up because it’s their time. You know what , maybe good for them.”
Lurker Guy
This traveler holds a special place on the Mt. Rushmore of annoying travelers. Lurker Guy is the passenger who is in Group 4 with an assigned seat, but still feels the need to stand right by the gate. This person stands up front and watches first class, elite, parents with kids, people in wheelchairs, seniors, then groups one through three board ahead of him, but can’t help himself. He has to stand right by the gate in everyone’s way.
No Shoes Guy
As annoying as Lurker Guy is, he’s nothing compared to no shoes guy. Why is it OK for some people to take their shoes off in an airplane? People don’t take their shoes off in a restaurant, sporting event, or a theatre, so why is it OK to do it on a plane?
“I understand that you need to be comfortable, but leave your shoes on. If you need more comfortable shoes, go buy more comfortable shoes.”
Reclining Guy
Another of the most annoying travelers are the ones so inconsiderate as to treat the cabin of an airplane like their living room. They may already have their shoes off, but that’s not enough. They feel the need to hit the button and recline their seat straight back into the lap of the person behind them.
“A guy taught me a trick,”. “If you have a full water bottle, you can actually wedge it between the tray and the seat in front of you and the person can’t recline their seat.”
Almost Ready Guy
This is a very special passenger. He is a hybrid of Not Ready Guy and Just a Minute Guy. This is the person who waits until EVERYONE in front of them has gathered their belongings and has begun to exit the plane before they stand up and start to get theirs.
“If you gather your stuff and it’s your turn to leave, there should be people in front of you,”. “Everybody else should not have cleared off the plane. That’s the barometer.”
Traveling can be one of life’s great joys or it can be a miserable day filled with annoying people. Practice these tips and make life better for those around you.
