    Here are the 'unwritten rules' of air travel

    A new report has an ominous warning for air travelers.

    "No matter what you do on a plane, you're probably annoying another
    passenger," it states.

    The report, published Thursday by the data intelligence company
    Morning Consult, examined 12 types of behavior on flights, finding
    that most travelers (>50%) were bothered by all but one.

    According to the report, the most aggravating in-flight behavior is
    the invasion of personal space - be it encroaching on an armrest, leg
    room area or crossing the invisible boundary that separates passenger
    seats. Some 77% of people in the survey said they were "bothered" by
    it, with 51% saying they were "very bothered."

    Well, blame the airlines for crunching 20% more people into the same
    space. No matter what you do, you're in someone else's space.

    They maximized profits, and here we are.

    Unwritten rule #1: the airlines are douchebags.
