Travel can be extremely thrilling, often life changing, and sometimes very annoying.

Travel-dating site, MissTravel.com asked more than 58,000 people what annoyed them most this travel season.

Once declared one of TIME magazine’s 25 Best Inventions of All Time, the selfie stick has quickly fallen out of favour this year.

“The selfie stick was a staple at popular tourist destinations this year,” said Brandon Wade, founder and CEO of MissTravel.

“Although you may have good intentions, carrying a selfie stick around could be seen as a sign of narcissism and self-absorption by your travel companion. Enjoy your vacation by allowing yourself to experience everything in the moment, instead of obsessing over capturing it in the perfect selfie.”

Inconsiderate passengers taking up too much room in overhead compartments also ranked high on the list.

However, respondents were most frustrated with distractions such as selfie sticks, large iPads and overuse of social media, which often detracts from the experience of travel.

The top six travel peeves of 2015 were: 1 selfie sticks - 42 per cent; 2 hogging overhead compartments - 20 per cent; 3 using an iPad to take photos - 17 per cent; 4 distraction with social media - 12 per cent; 5 smelly food on airplanes - seven per cent; 6 other - two per cent.
