There’s no shortage of passengers behaving badly while cruising the sky. In November, fellow flyers used duct tape on a man’s wrists and ankles, to stop him from trying to force open an aircraft door mid-flight. Days later, a flight from Paris to Atlanta had to be diverted to Dublin when an unruly passenger caused a scene. Authorities say there have already been more than 1,800 incidents of unruly behavior on planes in 2024. And the year isn't over yet.

If you’re lucky, you’ll never have to witness extreme or violent behavior while traveling to your destination. But we can’t promise that you won't be subjected to an annoying fellow passenger. From stinky feet, to excessive displays of PDA, airplane passengers are going through the most. They've been posting their worst air travel experiences online for all the world to see. Bored Panda compiled a list of the ones that had our jaws on the floor.

Yes. I Have The Middle Seat And I Have Legs. I Was Eye Rolled When I Politely Asked If The Window Seat Passenger Could Move Her Backpack. I Guess I Should Have Left My Legs At Home

Airplane seat with passenger placing feet on storage area, illustrating annoying plane passengers.

scoutdashrebaling Report

Being stuck in an enclosed vessel thousands of miles up in the sky means you need to stay put until you reach your destination. You can’t just stop, open a door, and get out, as you might be able to do while traveling by road. But this didn’t stop one man from trying anyway, during a recent flight from Milwaukee to Dallas in November.

The 29-year-old demanded he be allowed to exit the plane “immediately” mid-flight. When the aircraft crew told him it wasn’t possible, he took it upon himself to try and force open the door. As CBS reported, a flight attendant “positioned herself between the man and the cabin door, blocking his access.” The man then rushed toward the attendant and hit her, prompting fellow passengers to intervene.

It took three people to restrain the unruly passenger, and they ended up using duct-tape to tie his ankles and wrists together. Needless to say, the man was arrested by the FBI as soon as the plane touched down. Abdul-al-Jabbar Oloruntoba Olaiya faces charges of interfering with a flight crew through violence or intimidation, under the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States. If convicted, he could spend up to 20 years behind bars.

This Girl At The Airport Waits Until The Queue Moves All The Way Forward To Move. People Confronted Her And She Said “It’s The Same If I Move Now Or Later”

People waiting in line at an airport, surrounded by luggage, exemplifying annoying plane passengers.

reddit.com Report

There were around 2,000 incidents involving passengers behaving very badly in 2023. And the Federal Aviation Administration revealed there have already been more than 1,800 incidents so far in 2024. A former flight attendant described it perfectly when they wrote that “in recent years, it seems that respect for crew members' instructions can be as difficult to find as lost luggage.”

In writing about the uptick in unruly passenger behavior, the former crew member pleads with passengers to practice tolerance "and understand that they're going to occupy a small space with people from all walks of life. They should do so with respect."

In the article, Anaïs Monique shares some lesser-known facts about the lack of hygiene on some aircrafts. The former flight attendant reveals that some passengers think it’s okay to use food tray tables as diaper changing stations. Monique also warns that lavatory floors aren’t as clean as you may think, and cautions passengers to always wear shoes, or socks at the very least.

“The stains on the carpeted aisles are probably not dried-up cola, and the galley floors have seen various forms of waste and the bottoms of thousands of dirty shoes,” they wrote. And on the dried-up cola note, you might want to put down your lunch before you read any further...

Those on board a Delta flight last September were subjected to what the pilot called a “bio-hazard” when someone’s very bad bout of diarrhea ended up all over the cabin of the Airbus A350. The plane was just two hours into the eight-hour flight from the U.S. to Spain. "This is a biohazard issue," the pilot reportedly told air-traffic control. "We've had a passenger who's had diarrhea all the way through the airplane, so they want us to come back to Atlanta." The pilot promptly made a u-turn to get passengers to fresher pastures.

But it seems it’s not just humans behaving badly. In April, a United Airlines flight had to be diverted after a dog pooped in the aisle. It took the crew two hours to clean up the mess. The incident happened next to a first class toilet, deeming it unusable for the rest of the flight. A passenger on board posted pictures of the grossness, describing how the crew used paper towels to clean the carpet. "The smell never quite went away," said the passenger.

And yes, I *would* do the same to a 200lb biker type - except that sort of person tends to be a lot more considerate of others, so the situation probably wouldn't arise.

It was fine mostly when she was just looking down but she kept looking up to talk to me or look at her screen and it was like a dang lighthouse light signaling to everyone. I asked her to turn it down or off. She did. But my gosh she was so unaware!

I kind of think that everyone on the plane has the right to put their seat back. If the person in front of me puts theirs back, I just put mine back and it's all the same.
