The 10 passenger types you don't want to see on your flight

A good little blog piece pretty much sums up my list:

Aviation Queen

Anything/persona missing?

Over on the Facebook, my friend Nick, a frequent traveler, posted the following on my timeline:OK, Benet Wilson- we need a ruling here. I’ve just seen some woman full-on stretched out on the floor of the United Club for a nap. Wouldn’t have been an issue except she was blocking two seats in an overcrowded lounge. Very high on my personal selfish-meter but my yuck-ometer is off the dang chart!
I answered thusly: this is very selfish and *highly* unsanitary. The Queen has ruled…
So it got me thinking: what are some other bad behaviors I’ve seen at airports or on airlines that no one should have to see? Below is my list. Enjoy!

1. The smelly one. Last year, I was on a flight with a couple that smelled so bad I actually moved to a middle seat to escape the funk. Please people, bathe before your flight — you’re not the only ones on the plane.
2. Loud cell phone talker discussing personal information. You’re sitting quietly at your gate when someone sits next to you, pulls out his/her cell phone and proceeds to have a long, LOUD conversation about things including the intimate details of last night’s “date,” minute details of a medical condition, attorney/client privileged conversations, and a break-up. I have heard every one of these, and my ears are still burning as a result. Save those conversations for home, please.

11. The know it all pedant. He/she will be the one arguing to the death that they are right about something at the expense of others' feelings and sensibilities. No matter how wrong they are they will draw on obscure references to prove that they are right and must always have the last word. They are also seen preaching to the world on subjects they no nothing about, definitely one not to sit next to on a long haul flight. (It is even worse when this type has some sort of power, imagined or otherwise. Best to ignore them where possible.)

12. The swearer. In flight, talks to his (usually his, sometimes her) mate loud enough to be widely heard and using all the f's and c's etc as they would at home.

What ? Nobody wants to mention the elephant in the room aka the "chubby" who takes up half of your seat as well as their own ?

That would be COS, as in "Customer of Size".

Its a North American blog so the absence is not surprising when it could be perceived as the norm.
