Most annoying tourist habits: How many are you guilty of?
What habits do you find the most annoying when you're on holiday? Small children kicking the back of your plane seat, tourists dawdling down the street in front of you or maybe people who constantly take pictures of their food?
Well you're not the only one.
In a poll by teletextholidays.co.uk people who obsessively Instagram their food was the most popular irritant for those on holiday, racking up 32 per cent of the vote.
Children playing on loud tablet devices was a close runner-up with 31 per cent of the vote while obsessive use of selfie sticks came in third place with 28 per cent of the vote, the Mirror reports.
Other popular irritants to make it into the top ten included: people playing music out loud on speakers, passengers nattering on their phone as soon as the plane comes in to land and travellers who endlessly video call friends and family at popular tourist sites.
The poll also revealed that we're more than happy to spend 10 hours travelling to get to our holiday destination and 59 per cent of those asked said they would rather go on holiday with their family than their friends.
On average Brits will fork out around £1,080 on their summer holiday with 19 per cent saying that all-inclusive deals were the most important decision in booking a holiday.
