Everyone gets annoyed when they’re cooped up in a tin can with hundreds of other people. A lot of the team here at SkyParkSecure admit to hating seat kickers!
But what are the most irritating crimes that most of us agree on?
Just the Flight conducted a survey of 5,000 people to find out exactly that.
We’ve outlined the results in the table below, as well as a handy infographic that goes into a bit more detail.
We were surprised at some of the results. People who take their socks off was only 15th on the list (!!!), much lower than we’d have thought. Meanwhile nervous flyers make an appearance at the bottom, which is a little cruel to say the least!
