Flight attendants reveal the things that annoy passengers. Are you guilty of any of these bad habits?

“What’s the one thing passengers do that really burns your landing gear?” Go!’

That’s the message Jay Roberts, who worked as a senior cabin crew member for Emirates, posted on his Facebook page, A Fly Guy’s Crew Network. And the responses came thick and fast from flight attendants around the world, eager to share the passenger behavior that annoyed them the most.

Do you owe one of them?

A common complaint was the lack of response from passengers when greeted.

‘[I hate it when passengers] don’t answer my hello when I greet them on the plane,” said one crew member. Another does not appreciate the lack of a thank you or a smile from the passengers when they disembark.

Hooking up during a phone or video chat, or “putting your headphones on when I’m trying to inform you or talk to you” is also bad.

Mr Roberts himself agrees with these views, telling MailOnline Travel: “The number one thing a passenger can do to avoid getting off on the wrong foot is to avoid eye contact or ignore a simple greeting when I say hello

“Not only is it rude, but it also disrespects the crew’s role as safety personnel. If the plane is on fire and needs to be evacuated, I will risk my life and stay behind to make sure you get out safely. Or if you get sick, I’ll be by your side and do whatever it takes to save your life, and you can’t even admit that I’m standing here to say goodbye?’

Another crew member gets annoyed when passengers “insist on telling me their seat number when they get on board,” another when they “queue to get off as soon as the plane lands,” and another flight attendant can it is not tolerated if a passenger “opens the luggage”. Compartment during flight to take something out and does not close it.

A crew member’s biggest hate is “passengers who watch you service an entire cabin before deciding when you’re with them when it’s best to go to the bathroom.”

“I hate it when they grab me or touch me to get my attention,” said another.

Mr Roberts told MailOnline Travel: “The number one thing a passenger can do to avoid getting off on the wrong foot is to avoid eye contact or ignore a simple greeting when I say hello.”

The little ones change in the chair and then give me their biohazard diapers [nappies]’ is another sore point.

“Talk to me while I eat,” one crew member wrote in response to Mr Roberts’ question.

“Going to the bathroom barefoot,” wrote another, “piling everything on his tray and thinking they’re doing you a favor,” is also on the list.

Opening the overhead safe mid-flight to get something out and then not closing it doesn’t sit well with flight attendants

Finally, there’s this message: “Bring in a half-dead Chihuahua that’s blind in one eye, open a Service Dog jacket and look at me like, ‘I dare you to say something.’
