Deadheading Apeman
The large man in the center seat next to me in the window seat while deadheading. Large enough to spill over both sides of his seat and figured it was OK to wear shorts and a tank top shirt so his very hairy arms, shoulder and legs could rub against you while he invaded the space of the seats on either side.
At least he didn't stink.
I felt so slimed after that flight.

One reason why dead head legs are sooooo despised. Nothing like boarding a 99% full flight with a rollaboard and 40 lb kit bag, in a wool uniform in the summer, to find the overheads 110% full, and the empty center seat surrounded by fatties or weirdos, who roll their eyes because they have to share.
15 years ago, there seemed to be always some first class seats available. Now, there's an upgrade waiting list a dozen names long for first.

From this article (very well-meaning, but kind of ridiculous)

Dear God...he'd be calling my boss on every flight. This guy needs to be given an apple and told to chill. Yes one should not get the flight number wrong but it's really not a reportable offense.
Now excuse me while I go roll my eyes

'Called to report it?'

I always thought guarding the flap handle and/or prompting the flying pilot "You want flaps?" ranked pretty high on the scale of toolish behavior, but I just recently flew with an FO who raised it to a whole new level.
We would be descending and slowing, and he would raise his arm up in a big, showy arch, and place his fingertips daintily on the flap handle, still keeping his arm arched up high, so he could visibly make his intentions to add flaps unmistakable to me. When I naturally ignored him, he would state, with misplaced authority, "Below 230, FLAPS ARE AVAILABLE!" Gee, thanks, Einstein. Glad to know your airspeed indicator works, too.
