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'm not OP. You don't get to jostle me and tell me to like it you moron.

No one is asking you to like it. People are saying to get a handle on yourself and show some grace in circumstances that are yes, challenging. Some of you are just such gross humans.

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.

Uhm, they do!!!!! And so should you.

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

I do know and I fly often. Stop making stuff up.

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.

No, you are making up that fat people aren't made to buy an extra seat if they don't fit. Tall people should have to do the same.

I'm not even sure what your point is. If you don't like it, complain to the staff. But you don't get to harp on fat people and then say it's ok for tall people to encroach on others.

Serious question what do you want the tall person to do in this situation. What would make them considerate and polite? Not talking about the 5-9 person in OP's post who yes was probably being a bit of a jerk.

My son is 6-5 and I'm not thrilled about him being out in the world with aggressive people like this when trying to fly. He's not going to be able to fly first class his whole life.

+1. Thank you. People think it’s ok to harass others because of their height. Just like people think it’s okay to make jokes about people being too thin, because hey, at least they aren’t fat! None of it is okay. If you don’t want to share space with others, buy your own private plane or drive. Or just deal, like the rest of us.

I have a bad back and actually someone pushing their knees into the seat back gives me extra lumbar support. Win-win!

No one is aggressive. We are indeed talking about an inconsiderate 5.9 person who didn't have to have his knees in OP's seat. Nuance in situations matters. If your son can't fit in the seat he bought he should absolutely take it up with the airline and not make it a problem of an unsuspecting person in front of him. But I blame the airlines and not your son, obviously. The seats are too small.

So he should take it up with the airline (useless) and in your mind still never fly.

Why do you think he is entitled to fly on top of other people?

No, you weren't. How do you propose your son flies without inconveniencing unsuspecting travelers around him? Or why do you think he is entitled to that?

Of course they do. It happens all the time. You don’t have to like it but you do have to accept it if you fly economy. Pout all you want. But I’m 5’5” 115lbs and my seat costs the same as my 6’4” 225lb husband. That is just the way the world works. His pants cost the same too even though it’s easily double the thread and fabric. That’s just life.
