Jeez we are whingers aren't we?
Top 5 were
Flight delays. Well can't be helped most of the time, sick pilots, bad weather, problem with the plane. airlines should do their best with maintenance etc but sometimes delays are unavoidable.
People putting their seats back during short flights. Maybe its not a short flight for them, maybe they have transferred from another flight. Maybe they get ill when flying and laying back and sleeping helps them.
Trapped by a sleeping passenger. Oh so people are supposed to take no doze or something just in case they fall asleep and cause a small inconvenience to someone else?
Overweight passengers. Ok I kind of get this one. So give them two seats, it seems to me planes are rarely full and it makes everybody more comfortable. It's not about special treatment - it's about what is best for everybody. Including the airlines as it makes their customers happier.
Poor hygiene of fellow passengers. I'm sure nobody is intentionally smelly, but sometimes a fart just slips out. Or maybe someone has caught a transferring flight and hasn't had the chance to shower for a while. I'm sure you can put up with a bit of human smell for a few hours.
