Kicking the seat of the passenger in front of you is the gravest transgression off of a long list of things people can do to annoy others during flights, a new survey found.

When you jump on the 707 (Steve Miller "Jet Airliner") you never know what's going to happen. Always a cavalcade of weirdness. When 1,000 people were asked by Expedia and research firm GfK what they thought was the most annoying plane habit, 67% of respondents ranked “rear seat kickers” as the worst passengers on a flight. The battle over leg room garnered intense debate this year after the Knee Defender, a controversial device that passengers were using stop the seat in front of them from reclining, was banned by major airlines. Didn't know that even existed.

Check out the complete ranking, and try your hardest to not be one of these people as you’re traveling this holiday season:
