Wearing same thing more than once every 2 weeks is embarrassing.

Meh.  Ubiquitous blue brooks brothers button down and black slacks.

As an elite business traveler, I hate the following people equally:

Takes his job way too serious ID checker guy
Has 4 carry on bags that are all too big to carry on lady
Doesn't wait his turn to get off the plane guy
Anyone that takes too long to get off the plane
Guy that puts his crap in my overhead then walks to the back of plane to his seat

the idiots who sit in the wrong seat, I mean your ticket says C3 so sit in C3, not D3 dumbass! Then you have to pull the "um excuse me you're a dumbass who can't find the right seat so you're going to have to move now" and they take 5 minutes to get all their crap out of your seat b/c they practically set up camp, holding up the whole line of people trying to sit down

There's a reason most finer airports have a Brooks Brothers and a Johnston & Murphy.

People who stand up (basically crouching) as soon as the plane parks and put the fart they've been sitting on the whole flight right in my face.  Why are you trying to stand? You're in the back and aren't getting off for another 10 minutes.

Met 176 while on a flight from the USC game in 2001.  Maybe you should talk to your seat mates...
Never check bags.  I don't fly that much and I've had bags lost on three occasions.  Every single time it has been a nightmare to be reunited with them.
Just flew with a lap child last week.  One carry on roller suitcase and a personal item of a diaper bag.  Though I do feel as though my lap child should be considered my personal item.

Things that people do dumb: stand up/crouch the second the plane stops moving.

believe it or not, it feels better for me to stand as much as i can when the plane stops rather than spend another minute wedged into those piece of crap seats.

I actually prefer everyone in my row stands and crowds the aisle while I stay seated and stretch my legs with a full row to myself.

had to sit next to some indian/pakistani dude on a okc-sea flight who insisted on eating one of his native dishes straight out of a big mound of foil.  indian food smells worse than pure crap.  pure crap.

my people watching has made me hate the following people:

- the people that get up and check the flight arrival/departure board every 5 minutes to see if we are still leaving on time
- people that fly standby.  not sure why it bothers me so much, but it just does.  probably because my co-worker does it all the time (see my thread about stupid coworker)
- i fly okc to dallas often, and it's literally a 45 minute flight...and every single time, i'm stuck next to some schmo who has to go to the bathroom 5 minutes into the flight.  eff you, weak bladder guy.

*bonus hate*  i've literally never flown out of okc without having 5-10 idiots on my flight who wear khaki pants and ou polo shirts.

Indian food smells awesome. I'm guessing you were smelling the dude, not the food.

either way, it was gross and i didn't like it.  not sure why the dude felt the need to bring food and eat it on a flight that was only a little over an hour and it was like 2pm.

I learned all there is to know about Indian food by watching the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and I can assure you guys that it is nasty. If I were going to India, I would bring a sack lunch.
