A passenger made a post on Reddit complaining about an incident where a fellow traveler invaded her space by spreading his legs inside the plane.
A passenger wrote an angry post on Reddit about another traveler’s behavior. She described how the man invaded her space with his legs in her seat.
“I woke up with the guy next to me spreading his right leg into my seat, with his foot underneath my seat. I asked him to move, and he said, ‘Well, you have plenty of space, and you’re shorter than me,'” she reported.
The woman, who is 1.75m tall with long legs, explained that the man tried to justify himself by saying that his luggage was under his own seat, and there was no space for his feet.
“Why do people think they have the right to do this, especially on airplanes?” she complained. “I never post on Reddit, but this was too annoying to ignore,” she concluded.
Other social media users sympathized with the passenger and gave advice on how to handle such situations.
“If he doesn’t move his leg, call the flight attendant,” one suggested.
One user, who says he is 1.90m tall, said that he always moves his luggage after takeoff:
“As soon as we reach altitude, I move my bag from under the seat and place it where my feet were. Then, I stretch my legs. Simple.”
“I would have ‘accidentally’ spilled my drink on his leg. Oops!” said another more sarcastic user.
