After long flights (10.5 Hours) to and from London, I noticed the following Airplane characters:
Johnny Jump-Up - This guy (and it is almost always a guy) has his seatbelt off and is out of his seat grabbing his bags from the overhead before the wheels of the plane even touch the runway.
Carry-On Clarice - Clarice has a purse, laptop, suit bag, and a rolling suitcase that is larger than the monster suitcase you checked. She will whack people on both sides of the aisle with her bags and offer a curt sorry. Then she realizes she is on the wrong side and has to go back against the grain dealing out blows as she goes.
Overhead Bin Owen - Owen will never put his stuff in his own empty overhead bin. He will stuff it into yours, crushing whatever you have.
Slim Shady - Slim will keep the window shades open so that anyone within ten rows will be blinded and unable to watch a movie or sleep.
Morse Code Marvin - A relative of Slim Shady, Marvin will open his window shade every few minutes, sending a blast of light through the plane like a Morse Code signal.
Jumping Jack - Not to be confused with Johnny Jump-Up, Jack will jump up every seven minutes, slam open the overhead bin, and rummage through his carryon, loudly zipping and unzipping it, making sure to close the bin with a bang when he’s done.
Chatty Cathy - Cathy will start a conversation, especially if you are watching the movie, reading your book, or sleeping.
Cockpit Clem - Clem will call from the cockpit, waking you up or interrupting the movie to inform you of the weather, visibility, windspeed, and all the landmarks you could see if only it was light out.
Crown Heirs - The royal heirs run up and down the aisles yelling and playing while their parents look on lovingly. If the heirs sit behind you, you seat will be kicked all flight long.
Cry Babies - Squalling babies will be present in direct proportion to the length of the flight. On your little propeller flight of 30 minutes there will never be a baby. On your ten hour flight, there will be no less than twenty screaming babies.
Anybody have any other annoying airplane characters?
