I can't tell you how many times I wanted to do this ....

I have seen altercations over it,


I think your comment about Cigar is just more hyperbole.

I've flown quite a bit. I've never seen an altercation over it ever. In fact, I've never seen an altercation over anything in flight.

Also, your thought process is flawed.

...and this is a topic I know well, flying fairly frequently, and being cursed with long legs @ 6'-4".

Wait, youre that tall? Hmmm, i can overlook dumbass if youre tall enough. Pun intended.
*Bats eyelashes*

Its hard for a tall gal to find a good tall guy.

I've never had an issue with someone sitting in front of me, or behind me, but there are times the fat, smelly tub o $#@! sitting beside me is an issue.

Plane Returns to LAX After Man Chokes Woman


A Southwest Airlines jetliner returned to the gate at Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday after one passenger choked another during an argument over a reclined seat, according to NBC News.
Airport police said San Francisco-bound Flight 2010 left the gate around 10:25 p.m. Sunday and returned half an hour later.


The pilot doubled back after a man began choking the woman sitting in front of him, who had reclined her seat, NBC News' Tom Costello reports.
"Evidently, we’ve got two passengers who are in a physical altercation, so we need to get turned around back to LAX," the pilot told air-traffic control in a radio transmission obtained by NBC News.

He he needs to be in jail. He bought one seat. What a jerk.

I recently flew first class for quite a long haul and the guys across the row (we were in pods) got ridiculously drunk. I turned my seat into the bed and went to sleep and the guy across actually took my glass of Chardonnay after the flight crew cut him off. Un-$#@!ing-believable. They were also sexually harassing our flight attendant, but she took it like a champ. She didn't snap, which I may have if I were in her shoes. But I figure that must happen fairly often since you can basically drink as much as you want.

People on planes can be really $#@!ing irritating, but there's no excuse for violence. You need to exercise patience and self-control.

I have long legs. If in economy class nobody can recline on me without my knee in their back. It works well for me. Although I rarely fly economy.

Give me somebody in front reclining all the way into my face, but spare me the Chatty Cathy behind me describing her entire life in detail to a total stranger, non-stop for six hours.

And some morons are actually advocating that people be allowed to use their cellphones inflight?

That would be a disaster!

At least you were not in coach. Enjoy the trip?
