Most Annoying Travel Habits
As vacationers board a plane, train or bus this holiday season, many will be hoping the passenger behind them is not a seat kicker.
A global survey conducted by TripAdvisor, an independent travel advisory service, has found that one in three travellers nominated seat-kicking children sitting behind them as the biggest annoyance while travelling, followed by inconsiderate chair recliners. Fellow passengers who took too long stowing their luggage or who talked loudly on their mobile phones also infuriated their fellow commuters.
Which one of TripAdvisor's Top 8 is your pet travel annoyance? Perhaps you hate all of them? In that case, tick them all! If your favourite travel annoyance isn't listed, tick "Other" and tell us what it is.

I must admit I hate it when kids kick the back of my seat, especially on an airplane, but I'm willing to dismiss it on most occassions because I love kids. I probably kicked a few seats too when I was little. I always try to remember that.
I have some stories! Some stooooooooories.....
I'll share some of my travel nightmares later in this thread. But one in particular comes to my mind right now. It happened during a flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Indianapolis, Indiana non-stop. The man next to me had a terrible gas problem. He kept farting. The annoying part was he didn't act at all sorry about it. He just kept doing it. And it didn't only affect those of us in his row, I could see some of the people several rows in front looking around wondering what happened. I thought about prying open the oxygen mask compartment, but I figured I would probably get in trouble. So I just suffered through it.
That was a very long two hours. Just when I thought he was finished doing it, he'd pop off another one. :P
I wouldn't wish that scenario on my WORST enemy.

It wasn't funny Kerry. At least not at the time. But I suppose it is NOW!
