Most people go to the airport and behave decently toward their fellow passengers. Some people don’t, engaging instead in “naughty” behaviors. The website Solitaire Bliss asked survey respondents if they had encountered people who were doing stuff like leaving trash in the seatback pocket, passing gas, and asking to cut the line at airport security, and ranked them by the how often they said “yes.”
