My mom always said that if you want to know if a relationship will last, go on holiday with the person.

Why? Because travel tends to bring out the worst in people.

Business Insider wanted to find out the worst habits people bring with them onto a plane, so they chatted to a few flight attendants who shared with them the most annoying things they wish passengers would stop doing.

While some people have all the sympathy in the world for flight attendants, others tend to push the limits of their job description to the extremes.

And although we’re not sure if it’s because they just don’t know otherwise, or they have a general tendency to not give any shits, here are 10 things you may want to take note of:

Expecting flight attendants to have all the information from the captain

“We know maybe 5% of what they do. We don’t know how bad the weather is, why we are taking a new route, or why we can’t land early. But believe it’s for your safety!”

Galley yoga

“Getting up and wanting to stretch in our galleys like its a yoga studio or wanting to stand in our galleys is annoying. The galley is our only work area, and we have nowhere else to go because our seats are in the galley by the doors.”

Asking, ‘What do you have?’

“There is literally an announcement telling you where to find the menu. We have 100 drinks if you count alcohol, and you want me to list it? While 200 other people wait for their drinks?”

Going barefoot

“Please, please, please — stop walking into the restroom barefoot, or even with socks on. Would you ever walk into a public restroom barefoot? No. Thank you, sir, for mopping up the pee on the floor with your socks.”

Not saying hello

“I wish passengers would acknowledge the crew when they board.”

Not taking responsibility for your belongings

“Don’t bring your heavy carry-on on board the aircraft and then ask me to put it in the overhead bin for you because it is too heavy for you to do it.”

Not specifying how you take your coffee

“When you order coffee tell me whether you want cream and/or sugar so I don’t have to ask for the millionth time.”

Watching porn

“I’ve seen people watching porn on the plane. One guy had the whole row to himself and you had to be standing up and walking behind him to see that he was watching porn. I was like, ‘Really?’ What do I say to that? There weren’t any little children around, so there wasn’t anything to say. But there was one guy I could see was watching porn on his phone, and because it was nighttime, you could see the reflection on the window. I did point that out to him because I didn’t think everybody needed to see that.”

Clipping your toenails

“I’ve seen people clipping toe nails. It’s very gross, and you can’t make them stop. And it’s not an infrequent thing, believe it or not.”

Putting feet on walls or other passengers’ seats

“I don’t come into your office and put my feet on your walls or your desk!”
