Petty airplane complaint — get your knees out of my back

[Anonymous]

I am a thin 6 foot woman and I have times where my knees are VERY tight. Yes, the size of your frame and weight matters because if you are heavier or bigger framed, your body will be that much more forward in the seat in a space where inches count. It sucks for big dudes.

The seats are ridiculous and no one is having a good time. Short of someone being an open jerk about the situation, show a little grace OP.

Maybe OP could have gone to the bathroom and if she saw the other pax was sitting weirdly she could asked tried explaining about her back surgery and asking politely. Of course maybe he had knee surgery or something…

I don't know why it's so hard to understand that you purchased ONE seat. Not the one you are sitting in and the one in front of you. What can be done if you don't fit in the seat you purchased is that you buy a different one with more legroom or you don't fly at all. It's really simple.

I really hate the phrase “touch grass” but it’s incredible to me you responded to the most gentle of possible suggestions with this level of assured self-centeredness.

The fact is we live in the world with other people and decent people recognize that other people’s needs deserve some consideration. Not that you always have to accommodate them but at least consider someone else might be worse off than you today and tomorrow it might be you.

No, I don't accommodate people who go out of their way to be as88les. You're free to do so. The person who needs more space (that they are not entitled to) could easily speak to the person in front of them and ask for patience. But you put your knee in my back and you get no consideration or sympathy.

Of course, there is something you can do. You can have the flight attendant tell him to put his knees down and treat him like the toddler he is.

Flight attendants are not going to do this. And there is no “down.” That is just where the knees are. Maybe not on a 5’9” person like in the OP. But on a 6’2”+ person? That is just where the knees are and no FA is going to say something about that. Any more than they are going to call out a fat person. Stay mad.

If you don't fit in the seat, buy a bigger one or don't fly. Stay mad right back.

If your lower back is so jacked up you can't risk being jostled at all, buy a bigger seat or don't fly.

I swear I wonder how some of you make it into adulthood and still have no reasoning or logic skills. A person is not asking for special treatment or accommodation when using the seat as intended. The one behind her who had his knees in her seat IS!!! So the person who doesn't fit in the seat that he purchased should buy a different one.

No. If obese people don’t have to pay extra, I’m not either. Deal with it.

Well that's because you're an as88le. We already know that. Enjoy being miserable.

How do you think this is logic? The tall person is also using the seat as intended. The premise that all tall people (and you don't even have to be that tall to have this be an issue) just need to buy more expensive seats is actually not using reasoning or logic skills. The clear logical conclusion is the seats are not big enough. Take it up with the airlines.

They really don't, which you must know or you don't fly very much at all.

If you are intentionally ramming your knees into the seat in front of you then you are not using it as intended. If you can't fit into the seat, it is not the problem of the person in front of you to deal with. So YOU should take it up with the airlines.

I am making it up that obese people take up more room than their seat? That has got to be one of the number one complaints of flying. Do the math on obese people in the population vs genuinely tall people.

This has got to be an angry short guy posting all this. So weird.
