The worst people I ever sat next to were the military crew of a C5-A Galaxy on a flight from Dover AFB in Delaware to Ramstein AB in Germany. The reason why wasn't because they were being jerks, far from it. It was because they were playing their Game Boys.

It was Christmas of 1989, and I'd just gotten a Game Boy, and we were flying to Germany using Space-A. My dad had been told I couldn't take my new Game Boy on the plane because it would interfere with the navigation equipment. Yet there were three or four airmen playing their Game Boys. :)
