After a 5 hour flight every joint in my body hurts. Most people dont seem to have this issue. What’s wrong with me?

Why wouldn’t they be entitled to recline? Seems to be an issue with the airline not providing enough space and not the person in front of you.

So I should suffer, right? I didn’t really want to start this old war again where the self-righteous short people feel entitled to cause pain for those of us just a little taller, but just like anything else, your right to be a shithead ends where it causes me physical harm. How is you repeatedly slamming your seat back into my knees any different from little napoleon walking up and hitting someone? And are you going crying to the flight attendant if I feel entitled to defend myself?

Your anger is directed at the wrong entity.

¿Por que no los dos? Airlines are clearly guilty of making flying as miserable as they can profit off of, and deserve a share of the blame for pretty much every air rage incident. That doesn’t change the fact that self-righteous asshats insisting they have a right to recline, are literally hitting the person behind them. In any other scenario, self defense would be justified

Idk. I bought a ticket that includes space to recline. Why cant i use it?

You have a voice. Why can’t you use it to scream “FIRE” in a crowded theater?

You have two arms. Why can’t you use them to slap silly?

You bought a car with excellent safety systems. Why can’t you use it to take care of that slow driver in front of you once and for all?

I bought a ticket that included my knees. Why can’t I bring them with me?
