..... Flying isn't what it was a generation or two ago. Look at ads from the 1950s to the early 1960s. People dressed up to take a flight. I guess there's no going back to that. A national talk-radio host usually does a segment on airline horror stories after she takes a flight. I can relate. Other gripes, apart from the fatties are:

People who dress like their going to their back porch to swill a beer (AKA dressed like bums or worse).
Dead breath or overpowering perfume/colonge (mentioned earlier)
The jerk who has to have the window seat, but also has an apparent bladder problem seeming to have to go to the lavatory every ten minutes.
whiney kids
those whiney kids sitting directly behind you kicking the seat
the one who seems to need every barffbag on the plane.
the one who has to talk with you through the entire flight.
that same one above who has to tell you their freakin' boring life story.
that same one who want to know my life story (and I'm not telling).
Having the jerk in front of you recline their chair back so their head is effectively in your lap.
The one who has to comment on the movie even if you're not even watching it.
The one who takes their shoes off and their feet smells like some swamp from a horror movie (or worse).
Sitting next to someone who asks if you're going to eat this or that from your meal.
And last, but not least, the person you've had to suffer sitting next to for the past 2 to 20 hours who thinks we're now best friends and see you again real soon (NOT! NOT FREAKIN' EVER!!)

..... There's more, I'm just feeling too relaxed at the moment

..... Oh, one last one: sitting next to William Shatner and he keeps saying there's someone on the wing (this will be lost on anyone who never saw that "Twilight Zone" episode)
