If YOU want room to spread out, buy a first class seat!
Careful Shim. He has a short fuse and he may get drunk and start a fight.
He’s been (admittedly) known to do that.
Yeah, he’ll do it here, where his behavior can’t really be stopped. Talk about passive aggressive behavior!!!
He wouldn’t be so brave in person, I am positive. I bet he’s really short.
No, not always. With that attitude, maybe you should take it on over to the leftist sites, ya think? They are that way too. They believe in demanding made up “rights”
I don’t start fights, and I am known as an exceedingly polite person. I’m not, however, good at de-escalating situations once someone decides to start something with me. I am rather self-righteous.
If that makes me a loser, so be it.
What I don’t get is that people like you would rather mess with someone instead of being a man and coming right out to talk to someone face to face.
If you we’re to say something to me like, “Hey excuse me sir, but could you move your seat back up a little bit? It’s hurting my knees.” then I would feel bad for you and have no problem accommodating you.
But if you were going to play those childish games you described, it would really set something off in my pea-brain.
By the way, are you a teetotaler or something? What’s wrong with having a few drinks on an airplane?
Are you calling me self-centered because I slightly recline in an airline seat that is designed to recline? Or because I believe that the problem lies with the seat design/placement? Or because I don’t agree that the person behind me who bought a seat behind a seat that is able to recline has a right to demand the person in that seat not recline? Or that I pointed out that if you don’t want to be behind a reclining seat, there are options you can take to avoid it?
That was just rude.
O2
Probably all true statements
But my friends call me Bubba.
You are not very good at mockery.
It’s called freedom dude... embrace it!
You clearly do not understand what passive-aggressive behavior is. Look it up.
How I react to people who decide to get a rise out me in person is not bravery. It’s blind rage. A rush of adrenaline or something.
Think of this as a PSA. You shouldn’t mess with people. You don’t know how they’ll react.
And yes I am short.
Thanks for the suggestiion, but I’m perfectly content with a coach ticket as long as I can lower my seat back - as specified in the terms of sale.
The knees of the other passengers are a matter for discussion with the airline.
"You're ok there, Moose"
I knew it. I could tell.
You could tell that you have no idea what passive-aggressive behavior is?

Maybe no smoking started it, but over the years it seems the airlines have gone out of their way to make air travel as miserable as possible. I started flying back in the 1970s. Back then, flying was still a luxury and people were treated like valued customers. Today, passengers are treated like cattle. Everything about flying has become inconvenient and uncomfortable.
And having the TSA grope you has made flying worse.
Seats are purchased by the airlines and not Airbus or Boeing.
LOL. I could tell you were short. :D
I think complaining about flying has become a national past time.
You can fly cost to coast for under $400, imaging what a 6 hour cab ride would cost. That only involves a beat up car and a guy with minimal training.
An airplane costs about $80M for a 737, and you are renting your seat. You are traveling through an environment Where you could only survive for about 30 seconds. So most of the things people complain about were brought about by ..... the customers.
If you want more space then don’t select flights for lowest price, select them for most room. You can find this on Seat Guru. A few years back when there was excess capacity in the industry AA removed a couple of rows of seats and added leg room. Did you guys go out an buy tickets on AA. Apparently not because they added them back.
On UA you can pay a few more dollars for economy plus. If you aren’t willing to pay $40 for it then you have put an exact price on what it is worth to you.
Same thing with food, baggage etc.
My late husband was a bipolar alcoholic, I recognize passive aggressive all right
