Default The worst thing about flying? These people (us)

While skimming the news, I came across this
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the...ors_picks=true

I won't say the other guy, because that's what everyone does, so I guess it's "us". Sure, you have some fellow passengers who smell ok, don't cough excessively, do not have children who cry, scream, whine, or run amok, who don't weigh 350 pounds and spill into your seat, who do not hog the armrests with hairy, sweaty arms, who don't kick the back of your seat every 4 minutes, who don't recline the seat in front of you, making using your laptop impossible, to the point that the only way you can reclaim some space is to recline your chair and crush the poor slob behind you, who don't need to get up every 30 minutes for a trip to the loo or something, who don't cram a purse, laptopbag, backpack, shopping bag, and carryon in the overhead 5 seats away from their seat, which is your overhead space... sure, there are passengers like this, but not many. Which is why I have quit traveling when it requires air transportation. It's just too darn uncomfortable. I'm 6' and I cannot sit in a chair for 5 hours with my legs bent without being uncomfortable. And I confess, I am not a trim, slim guy. So when I am sitting between two other passengers, I have to cross my arms across my chest. I don't want to be that guy who crowds the other passengers. And I don't care to rub arms with people to get my 3/4" inch of armrest.

Worst of all, I cannot afford to fly First Class that would take care of most of these issues.

Flying just sucks.
