I'm going to admit it: I don't enjoy flying on a passenger plane. Yes, I said it out loud. So why is that? To put it bluntly — it's because our fellow passengers and their bad behavior that annoys me the most.

Seriously, what is it with people who think their needs are more important than yours when it comes to being stuck together on a crowded plane? Check out these examples of the worst airplane behavior, and hopefully, you never have to deal with these types of people.

1. This Space Invader

Imagine sitting next to this person throughout the entire flight? I mean, why would you do that? I think I'm going to have to bring a divider with me when I take a plane just to prevent that from happening.

2. This Hairy Situation

I have long hair, so I realize it can sometimes be a pain. But still, I would always be very conscious of not letting it bother anyone else. I find it irritating when other people don't even bother to alter their behavior in public spaces. Snip, snip, snip, lol.

3. This Sneaky One

Um, come on. Who sticks their feet out so much that it interferes with the passenger in front of them, huh? That's so gross. And this lady doesn't even have socks on. If I was there, I would tell her to get her feet away from my seat ASAP. Not cool at all.

4. This Unexpected Visitor

Speaking of interfering with someone else's enjoyment of a flight. What the heck is that? Take that foot away and stay in your designated seat. I find this so rude and inconsiderate. Do you agree with me?

5. This Work Of Art

Okay, yes, go ahead and tattoo yourself right when the plane is taxing. That's is definitely safe and sanitary. I'm surprised the flight attendants didn't stop this guy. Perhaps he snuck this activity in when nobody was looking. I hope he liked the final work of art.

6. This Wild Child

Holy moly. This kid is climbing up a pole at an airport gate. Can you even imagine what he might do when he gets on the plane? I feel so bad for the other passengers that will have to endure flying with this wild child here.

7. This Gross Behavior

OMG, no! This is beyond disgusting. I can't believe that people would keep their feet in this state. And then get on a plane and subject another passenger to see this. Yuck! I can't even understand the level of ignorance here.

8. This History Lesson

Wow, it must've been so nice flying in the '30s, huh? Everybody looked so prim and proper and basically like a gentleman. Now, all you get is this sitting right in front of you. Boy, how times have changed, huh?

9. This Spoiled Kitty

First of all, I didn't know you can bring a cat on board a plane, ha, ha. Not only that but this kitty was hand-fed by his owner while sitting in a plane seat watching TV. Wow, that's a better treatment than I ever get flying. What a lucky feline, eh?

10. This Inconsiderate Behavior

What? I can't believe what I have just read here. Who in their right mind would put that in their carry-on? How did it get past the security? I guess we will never know. This is totally insane, ha, ha.

11. This On-Board Workout

Oh my, here I thought I'd seen it all, but clearly, I have not. I know it's healthy to stand up and walk around so your legs don't get stiff and all but this is taking that idea to the extreme, no? Are they practicing for Dirty Dancing?

12. This Crazy Story

Whoa! I can't believe that happened on a plane, ha, ha. Who thinks they're so important that they wouldn't get off their phone knowing that their decision could affect everyone else on the same flight. How inconsiderate and oblivious can you be, huh?

13. This Dirty Move

Yes, why not use the air vent to air out your wet and sweaty socks? I guess nobody would have anything against that, huh? Way to think of yourself first and the other passengers last. It must've been so much fun sitting next to this guy.

14. This Mess

Would it kill you to clean up after yourself when you're stuck on a crowded plane? If you think that the flight attendants are your maids, you're sorely mistaken. You should be ashamed of yourself. Now go clean up this mess.

15. This Food Party

Wowza! I've seen people bring all kinds of food on the plane but this is a first for me, ha, ha. How did they even get this past the security? And I get an apple and a banana confiscated when I fly. What the heck? That's not fair at all.
