By Rita

Have you ever encountered infuriating situations on a plane—unruly kids crying and screaming, entitled passengers madly pressing the call button with endless demands, or people taking off their shoes with unbearably smelly feet? These things aren’t taught in class, but such behaviors are highly unwelcome on flights. The internationally renowned travel magazine Traveler has compiled a list of “10 Behaviors on a Plane That Earn You Dirty Looks.” Next time you travel, please be mindful of your behavior. After all, when travelers go abroad, they represent their country.

1. Eating Smelly Food
Don’t subject other passengers to your strong food preferences.

2. Keep Your Kid Under Control
Even if your child isn’t feeling well at 30,000 feet, that doesn’t give them free rein to misbehave.

3. Joining the Mile High Club
Many passengers need to use the restroom—why do you have to do this?

4. Poor Hygiene Habits
Don’t clip your nails or pare your calluses on the plane. Just gross.

5. Being Arrogant Toward Flight Attendants
Making unreasonable demands only draws everyone’s disapproving stares.

6. Telling “Jokes” About Terrorists or Ebola

7. Snoring

8. Asking Everyone to Pray With You
Turbulence can be nerve-wracking, but nothing’s more stressful than someone asking about your faith and pressuring you to pray.

9. Blocking the Aisle
The aisle is for everyone to stretch, not your personal space.

10. Complaining About the Country You Just Left
