Poor hygiene, seat kicking and rowdy students as among Canadians' top travel peeves.
Travelocity.ca released the results of its 2009 Travel Rudeness Poll, Still, the North America-wide poll reveals that Canadians are predictably polite when it comes to dealing with certain vacation irritations.
Canadians and Americans are broadly similar in terms of the people and behaviour that annoys them on vacations. They generally agree about their least favourite fellow travellers during a flight; passengers with poor hygiene being the top pick (45% of North Americans) and coughing or sneezing passengers coming in second (30% of North Americans). Thirty-five per cent of Canadians criticized fellow passengers who recline their seats all the way back (versus 28% in the US).
