Just as an aside, I really doubt that if you took one look at me you’d be kicking the back of my seat. But “internet hero” stuff aside, your problem is that you believe that something that doesn’t belong to you actually belongs to you.
And the issues is ....who paid for that space on the plane so who has first rights to that space.. im willing to share ..if you acknowledge it my space to have or share at my will
if you want to content its YOUR space and screw me. well my knees and legs are going to argue the point with your back
SO WHO RIGHT?.. Well what did the airline sell us both?
Well the airline specifically advertised legroom in inches.. they didn't advertise reclining room..so want whip out a ruler and measure?..
Because you know it a good bet the airline is advertising the max legroom space for me with your seat up right...not the minimum leg space for me with your seat back
im a big teddy bear I'm always willing to help and share but when someone takes a tude and tries to step on me .. not good.... (I'm one of those big ugly post-apocalyptic road warrior looking kind of guys most assume I am ex military because I'm missing an arm and I gotta be honest my looks scare the crap out of people ... that why I try to overly polite to people and get along)
.. But im an engineer by trade and I believe in being rational and figuring things out.. I believe in the Golden Rule treat others as you want to be treated but that doesn't mean letting people step on me
