Petty airplane complaint — get your knees out of my back

[Anonymous]

I know, I know. Tall people don’t have enough room in the tiny spaces between seats. But in this case, this was a bit more than that. Guy behind me was not nba tall, average height maybe 5’9 or so when we got off the plane. And, suddenly his knees were gone when beverage service came around.

I had back surgery in my lower back and having knees… moving knees at that… prodding right where I had surgery was not fun. No, I didn’t put my seat back.

Do people not realize that pressing into the seat in front of you means you’re pressing into the person in front of you?

Sometimes there really isn’t anything you can do. Tall people and those who carry significant height in their legs just have nowhere to put their legs.

+1. My DH doesn’t have a choice. He takes an aisle so he can put one leg in the aisle when people aren’t there. If I’m next to him he manspreads into me. But if he’s flying alone he can’t do that.

Let's blame the airlines. Those seats get smaller ever d@mn year.

but somehow they manage everywhere else except for the airplane. You don't get to push the person in front of you no matter what.

So a person in front of him gets to suffer because of him?

What do you want him to do? That’s just how long his upper leg is. It can go to the front or into the space of the person next to him.

Oh when he flies alone he still man spreads. Such a douche. I always wondered how these men were married. Now I know.

They're the same people who lean all the way back.

Not really the problem of a person in front of him, don't you think?

To answer your question, no, some people do not know that they are pushing into the seat in front of them. Did you let him know?
