I can wedge mine up against the seat ahead of me and prevent it from coming back a little or at all, however I see fit. And let the pilot try to confiscate that. heh.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13255654.post-47641747193949816542014-09-03T07:44:02.347-04:002014-09-03T07:44:02.347-04:00At 5'7" on a good day I do not share your...At 5'7" on a good day I do not share your issue with seats killing my knees and while I do have more sympathy for the tall person behind me it still drives me nuts sitting straight up on a plane or bus. I will not however bang the seat repeatedly into your knees. There is a happy median that can be achieved.<br /><br />Now if your jelly roll is flowing over the arm rest into my seat or you are 5'8" or shorter and I am hitting your knees too damn bad. Loose weight or sit your butt up.<br /><br />I used to ride a bus that had a little guy that would lay down in his seat with his knees on the back of the seat in front of him, recline his seat all the way back and build a fort with his backpack nest to him. 3 seats for his sorry rear end. I actually enjoyed when the seat in front of him was mine because he would get so pissed as I pushed the seat back and turned min into a human pretzel.<br /><br />I also had a coworker that was pissed for similar reason to you on a flight except it was 1/4 to 1/2 full. So empty i had a row to myself. In his case I had no sympathy for him when he griped to me. I told him there were plenty of empty seats where he could have had no one infront of him. His argument that he was in his seat had no meaning to me.Tekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347409124682537594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13255654.post-82082748964357541092014-09-03T07:37:20.859-04:002014-09-03T07:37:20.859-04:00On Qantas today from PER to SYD, couldn't recl...On Qantas today from PER to SYD, couldn't recline either... Big guy (not quite your size) behind me, one either side of me your size, we had to alternate who got to sit back and who had to sit forward... Thankfully only a four hour flight.
