16 Ways to Annoy In-flight Co-passengers

July 12th, 2007 / Old Blogs

This post is for all those going out of Delhi/India, the idea is to have some fun in those long, long flights. I don’t know about you guys, but watching in-flight movies again and again makes me reach for the sick bag.

With the intro out of the way, we come to…
A list of 16 ways to annoy co-passengers unfortunate enough to be in the same flight as you

1) Take the aisle seat and refuse to let anyone pass. Cite your right to relax in the seat you paid for.

2) Press the hostess button on their side, on their behalf. Do this every few minutes.

3) Strike a conversation with your neighbor. Reply mostly with the phrase “that’s what you think”.

4) Tell your neighbor a long (very) joke. Forget the punchline. Repeat.

5) Ask people what gender they are.

6) Ask your neighbor what his lunch preference is. Whenever he visits the restroom, summon the attendant and get the wrong lunch on his/her behalf.

7) Continuously open your carry-on bag and say into it, “Have you got enough air in there?”

8) Hold the buckle of your seat belt in one hand. Keep holding it while using hand gestures to emphasize your points. (For better results, hold an end in each hand)

9) Connect one end of your seat belt to an end of the belt on the seat next to you. Put your luggage above the armrest and the seat belt. Call the setup a security measure and refuse to let anyone touch it.

10) Break the headphones you’re provided with, complain. Repeat when you get new ones. (Break your neighbor’s headphones for good measure)

11) Ask the in-flight attendants whether it’s okay to “take the gun out” now.

12) Ask your neighbor to look for the number of the winning boarding ticket in the newspaper.

13) Press the button to summon an attendant when the fasten seat belts sign is on. Ask friends to do the same. Works best when traveling in a group.

14) Wander around the plane, visit the galley. Ask the attendants what their lunch time is and return at that time to bother them (they don’t have much time to eat anyway).

15) Talk to people on Skype on your laptop. Since you aren’t allowed to use cellphones on a flight, this is the next best thing. Especially annoying if you don’t have a headset. And a built in microphone.

15+) Use a webcam for video conferencing and point it at people who aren’t looking their best at the moment.

16) Play gunshot sounds on your laptop at full volume.
