Brandon Blewett , a frequent business traveler, wrote a new book about how to avoid annoying passengers on planes.

He said business travelers should prepare for "smacks" and can use them to become more resilient.

Difficult people are everywhere, he wrote in the book, whether it's in your office or on your flight.

The "Eager Exiter " is present on almost every flight, Blewett said.

He recounted a story of a passenger who asked travelers if he could cut the security line to get to his boarding gate faster.

He said this was similar to his career journey, which included getting a law degree yet ending up in another profession.
