Tom, I have always been pretty lucky and I have done a lot of flying over the course of my career. The funniest thing I've ever heard about air travel was a friend of mine flying down from Boston. She insisted on bringing live lobsters from Legal Seafood. Bostonian's take their lobster very serious. Unfortunately they do not travel that well and wanted out of the cooler. It tipped over in the overhead and the lobster "juice" dripped down on the middle seat, not the seat she was sitting in!

I was on an overseas flight with a connection in Atlanta. We sat forever waiting for one passenger who didn't show up. The airline finally took the luggage off when our tardy passenger showed up. She had been in the bar and literally stumbled on. (Why they ever allowed her to fly was beyond belief!) Everyone on the flight boo-ed! her and all she could do was giggle. Next they had to find her luggage that they took off and bring it back which caused more of a delay. We were incredibly late taking off for an already long flight.

I fly twice a week commuting to and from work and sometimes a few times during work. Tom you have hit some good ones here are my fav:
Having the passenger behind you use your seat back as a balance tool to sit down yanking it backwards, and pulling some hair at times.

2: Continue to speak in that cell phone after being told three times to turn it off and aircraft is moving.
3: Waiting till 5 minutes out from landing and having everyone realized they have a bladder problem and line up for the restroom.
