Attention, passengers! This is your captain speaking. For the remainder of the flight, you will be sitting beside someone that will hit an extra special spot of irritation in your heart. With your seatbelts fastened as you're 41,000 feet off ground, there is not much room to escape. And those bathroom stalls do get crammed after awhile.

We ask you to remain seated during the remainder of the flight and please try to not go too crazy. Thank you for choosing our airline, I hope you still choose us again after the following interactions you face with your fellow passengers today. Flight attendants will be around shortly with drinks to help with the remainder of the flight.

1. Did a Kangaroo raise you?

The warm sun hits your body as you lay out on the beach watching the tide move in. Out of the corner of your eyes, you are watching a group of locals playing volleyball. Your eyes are set on one cutie, and you can’t help think to yourself, “Hey, I could use a little vacation romance.”

One of them serves the ball, but the other team misses it, sending the ball rolling to you. This is your chance. You think watching it come closer. You grab it and ready to pass it on to the local. “What’s your...”

THUMP.

You are knocked out of your dream and brought back to the reality of turbulence. Thump. Thump. Thump. Behind you sit some kid who must not have gotten the memo about not being in a flying trampoline. For the next several hours, you find yourself tramped in your seat with a mini kangaroo sitting behind you.

You can hear their parents whispering, “Be careful, we don’t do that here.” Like you think THAT is going to stop them.

2. The "It meets the size requirements" Guy

Even after the flight attendant has offered multiple times in the cabin they insist that their bag not only meets the size requirements, but it should fit into that very small crack between the other two large bags. Oh no, please, go ahead. Keep trying to squeeze it in as your body hovers over me. And no, I don't mind it hit me for the tenth time on the way up.

3. Trouble always comes in two

Their mother wanted to keep the world a little more interesting, so she had two. Who knows where their parents are on the flight, but for the duration of the flight, these siblings are glued to you. You now automatically become part of their sibling rivalry, and you have to listen to the non-stop fight of who gets the window seat.

4. The one who should have just drove

They mean well, they really do. Between the multiple pills and the frequent flips through the safety manual, they may be more up to date on the flight regulations than the pilot is. The good part is that you can ask for a refill easily on your drink each time they call the flight attendant to address a concern.

5. The buddy system

Sharing an armrest is not enough for them. They are dedicated the next several hours to making sure you are their new best friend. Grandma's secret chocolate chip recipe? Now yours to use at your next holiday gathering. Their recent breakup? You can recite every detail of it backward. And the smell of their breath? You know that too well that you don't even want to try and remember. They have no understanding of personal space, and if you don't leave the plane with a new friend, you will certainly be wondering how long it takes for your state to file a restraining order.

6. The one who got away

And then, if you are lucky, the person sitting next to you has that extra special ability to be invisible, and you have the seat next to you all free. That, my friends, that is the holy grail of seats.
