The Obnoxious Seatmate

You have flown enough to have sat next to one of the following obnoxious seatmates, including but not limited to:

• The tunneler who digs deep for gold in his nose with his finger and inspecting every few minutes to see if he hit “paydirt”
• The flatulent person who also reeks of body odor and halitosis
• The person who invades your space with his or her feet, arms, rolls of fat, hair or other body parts
• The parent of the screaming child who changes said diaper of said child right at the seat — during mealtime, no less
• The gum chewer who pops and cracks the gum
• The nose snorter who sneezes, yawns, burps and coughs in your direction without covering his or her mouth
• The nervous passenger who will not stop fidgeting
• The loud talker, whistler, hummer or singer
• The messy oaf whose garbage, crumbs and other assorted litter invade your personal space
• The hungry person who smacks and chews like a cow while eating odoriferous food
