Airplane Passengers - The Good, The Bad, The Really Cute, and The Real Gross

We've all had them, those people who sit next to us on the plane that just about drive us nuts! Like the guy above, who won't shut up, or the screaming baby in back of you. The kid who keeps kicking your seat, or the gigantic person who takes up your whole seat too.

I've had some good seat mates, and I have had some horrendous seat mates. But my worst passenger experience was with just some other passenger on the plane. I have no clue where his seat really was.

So here's my best one. I was flying out to visit some stupid guy for the weekend. I was dumb and in college at the time. I almost missed the flight due to the ignorance of the airline. The real, real (and I mean REAL) cute guy in front of me was in the same predicament. In order to catch the flight we had to RUN with our luggage to the plane. Mr. Realcuteniceguy grabbed my luggage and his and we made a beeline for the plane. Once on the plane, it ended up our seats were next to each other. We talked and talked, and he was oh so perfect. Then it was time to land and get off the plane. Bummer. Oh well, I had Mr. Noshow pick me up at the airport. How embarrassing! The dummy never came to get me at the airport. So..... I spent the whole weekend with Mr. Realcuterniceguy!! (big smiley face) Turns out he ended up getting a job by where I lived, and we had such a blissful summer together. Now he was my BEST airplane seat mate.

My WORST airplane passenger experience is the guy that I have no clue where he sat. I was flying home with hubby and the two kids from my brother-in-laws funeral. Our seats were right by the kitchen and the bathroom was right behind the kitchen. Well some guy clearly needed to use the bathroom, but they were all being occupied. Come on people!! This guy really needed the bathroom!! He never made it to the bathroom. He ended up throwing up all over the kitchen and ME!!! I've never seen that much throw up fly out of a person in my life. And it splattered everywhere!! Especially on ME!!

So what are your good and bad experiences with your airplane seatmates or passengers? Do share.
