My Top 10 Aggravations on an Airplane

This post will make me feel better. I know…I’m supposed to be an encourager, not a critic, but sometimes things aggravate me too. The truth is that thankfully more people are considerate of others than not, but this post was written on a recent airplane ride after experiencing many of these aggravations at the same time.

In a back door kind of way I’m hoping some readers will consider others around them next time they fly.

Are you “that guy” or do you try to consider how others are affected by your actions?
