I'm just listing the rules, except for #5, this just really gets under my skin! But go read it in its entirety.
1. Passengers shall place their carry-on bags in the overhead bin directly above their seat.
2. Drunk passengers shall not be allowed to board.
3. Airlines shall tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
4. All children shall have their own seat.
5. Passengers shall not violate the personal space of others.
This seems to be the most controversial commandment of all. TripAdvisor recently asked 3,200 travelers to air their biggest plane gripes and nearly 75 percent responded that large travelers should be required to buy two tickets. United and Continental already mandate buying an extra "air-besity" seat, as does Southwest, despite the Kevin Smith PR tummy ache (the director and carrier weren't a good fit).
6. Passengers shall have proper hygiene.
7. Airlines shall thoroughly clean the planes.
8. Passengers shall keep the noise down.
9. Airlines shall institute dual boarding.
10. Passengers with tight connections shall always be allowed to deplane first.

ooh good one girly~!
I HATE it when a 'big' passenger's 'sides' overflow into your seat. I'm sorry, but it's just gross to have someone's side gut and thigh up on you for 2+ hours.
I had a woman and her obese daughter sit next to me. She tried to lift the armrest between us. I put my arm on it.
When I went the bathroom and returned, she had lifted it and taken up half of my seat and pretended not to hear me when I told her it needed to go down.
Oh, she and her daughter squished up together and the armrest DID go down! She didn't pay for half my seat AND I was six months pregnant.
Yeah, Krystal, number 5 is a biggie. My personal space also includes my auditory space. I am confident I am not the only passenger to be confined next to a screaming colicky infant for three and a half hours.
Our daughter howled like a banshee during an entire one hour flight when she was tiny despite us trying every trick in the book other than duct tape to quiet her down, and when we got up to deplane, I could see daggers in about every other passengers eyes.
