10. Too much luggage. I hate when people bring like 48374 bags on a week long vacation. I know it's none of my business and that it really has no impact on my life, but it just makes me mad when people overpack. They take more time at the baggage claim, they take up more space on the train, they walk slower and they always look stressed out. If you didn't take 47 bags you wouldn't be stressed princess, and you also wouldn't be hogging the aisle.
9. The seat changer. So you finally boarded the plane and you are all set. You are comfy, you located your pillow, blanket and headphones. You have nested. Then some loser comes up and asks you to switch seats so that he can be next to his girlfriend, god forbid they are apart for 5 hours. You pretty much have to say yes, if you say no everyone thinks you are a stubborn asshole and no one on the plane will ever want to be your friend.
8. The person who just takes your seat. So you have a reservation, whether its on a plane, bus, or train. It's your seat, your temporary home, but when you get on said mode of transportation someone, who is not you, is already sitting there. You look at your ticket to confirm, then back at the seat. It is definitely your seat and meanwhile the intruder is doing everything possible to avoid eye contact with you. When you do finally speak up, they get all annoyed and put out like you are the asshole in this scenario.
7. Budgers. This was particularly bad in Romania where budging was pretty much a way of life. I was waiting in line for my flight to Paris when I saw these two ladies slowly creeping up on my left. I strategically shuffled my suitcase in front of them in order to make it clear that I would not be budged. Unfortunately, they took this as a challenge and stepped up their game. This tug of war literally lasted for 30 minutes. I would pull ahead, then they would, then me, then them. Finally they just pushed me out of the way. Don't they know how a line works?
6. Fidgeters. Since I am terrified of flying, I become very stressed when too many people start moving around. I know that it will throw off the balance of the plane and that I will die in ball of fire. That being said, there is nothing worse than sitting next to some one who goes into the overhead luggage compartment multiple times during the flight. First they grab their ipod, then they put their ipod back, then they take out a book, then they put that book back and take out another one, meanwhile I am having a panic attack. Sit down, this isn't a road trip to Disney.
5. The smelly food person. Have you ever been on a train when someone pulls out the smelliest meal ever? It's really annoying and sometime's it makes you hungry which makes you even more annoyed. Don't pull out McDonalds in a closed compartment unless you have enough to share. It's just manners people.
4. Criers. Sometimes when you travel you will get lost. Sometimes you will miss your train, and sometimes you will get rejected by the pretty german girl at the bar. But please, please don't lose your shit and break down. There's no crying in baseball or traveling.
3. The talker. Like I said above, I get really stressed when people move around on the plane. I also get really stressed when people talk during take-off, landing, or turbulence. If too many people are talking during any of these, my imagination goes crazy and I know that god is going to crash the plane because we are being disrespectful or something equally as stupid. I laugh about it when I am safely on the ground, but in the sky I go into full fledge panic and have to resist the urge of saying "SHHHHHHHHH!" like the annoying kid in class.
2. Kids. Why the hell are you taking your 3 month old baby to Paris. The pressure hurts it's ears and it's screaming hurts my head.
1. People like me who get super stressed out over dumb shit and imagined scenarios. They are the worst.
