We all have our pet peeves, especially when traveling.
A recent survey of 2,000 U.S. travelers conducted by worldwide bus and coach travel company Busbud reveals that it doesn't take much to annoy travelers these days, whether they're flying, driving, riding a bus or train or hailing a ride.
Interestingly, when it comes to air, bus and train travel, body odor is the most common pet peeve among travelers, with nearly eight out of 10 in agreement. But since space is oftentimes tough to come by on planes, trains and buses, all it takes is one person without deodorant to ruin everyone's trip.
However, travelers driving to their destination (whether behind the wheel or ride-hailing) cite dangerous driving among their biggest irritants.
Beyond dangerous driving, roadtrippers tend to be most frustrated by drivers who text (72 percent), heavy traffic (67 percent) and slow drivers driving in the fast lane (58 percent).
Meanwhile, Millennials (65 percent) - who were themselves babies not that long ago - are more likely to be annoyed by crying babies than Baby Boomers (56 percent) or Generation Xers (54 percent).
Although travelers are quick to point out the behaviors that annoy them the most, many acknowledge that they are part of the problem.
According to Busbud's research, 53 percent of men and 51 percent of women (52 percent of travelers overall) admitted to committing their own travel pet peeves, while 54 percent of Millennials indicated they're often guilty.
