Get your fucking foot off my seat!

[NewYearNiki]

Sitting on an aircraft. Not taken off. The woman behind me keeps putting her foot up on my arm rest and knocking my elbow.

I've just elbowed her off.
In for a long flight.

cantuccit I struggle with recliners as i’m 5’9” and have extremely long limbs. someone reclining their seat means I actually can’t move which is not great for hours on end. Mind you my knees are normally jammed into the seat so hard that they find it hard to actually push the seat back!

Christ, hope this isn't a long haul flight We won't know what happened for hours......

I was on a short day flight 1 hr to Chicago when twunt in front reclined during take off.
I developed (cough, cough!) a spasm which forced me to repeatedly kick the rear of his seat.

He called a lovely attendant who suggested if he stopped reclining the kicking would prob stop as I would not be in spasm and she winked!

“I have fleas” usually does the trick with this type of dicktoothed Visigoth.

@Fluffyears I'm sorry for you, but it's then up to you to book a seat with extra legroom.

I wouldn't recline my seat on a short flight but I need to recline on a long flight, espcially on night flights.

Tell her to stop acting like such a peasant!

Pretty sure roman in front of me on the way to New York was trying to recline but my knees are completely jammed against the seat so unless she threw herself back and crippled me she was stuck but I could feel her pushing. That hurt when she tried to push against my knees.

Or tickle the middle of her feet 😊

Nah I don’t need extra room as I have just enough but my legs are against the seat so the person can’t recline anyway. I’m happy enough not paying an extra £200 when my knees are a natural barrier.

My DH is 6ft but never has his knees against the seat in front.

Must be a very selective problem...

I have longer legs than my brother who is 6’4” I am very long limbed.

Can you play "This little piggie..."

@Fluffyears you're lucky you've not met me on a flight where you're sitting behind me

Bite her big toe. Hard.

Fishface!!

Why what exactly would you do? I can’t remove my legs so you can complain and shout all you like it wouldn’t help the fact that my legs are there!

Yuck! Shove them away!

Although I have it on good authority that on that case one of us may be upgraded 🤫

Just place marking for a post flight update!

Place marking for the inevitable decline into recliners versus those with implausibly long legs.

@Fluffy how did you know they were roman? Was it the toga?

@sogood, it was the toga and they arrived at airport in a chariot 🤣

Outrageous behaviour from the other passenger but only on Mumsnet are people roundly congratulated for assaulting someone rather than simply asking them politely to move their foot.
You never see anyone behave like this in rl - they tend to 'use their words' once they get past the age of about 3.

Someone repeatedly did this to my 3yr old in the cinema yesterday, I was so annoyed!

Indeed it is strange that people would recommend inflicting 1st degree burns with coffee before trying a more reasonable "excuse me please take your foot away and keep it away"

My husband and friends quietly die whilst I politely reprimand noisy cinema goers and tiresome fellow plane passengers. Have to say though I ALWAYS get the result I want i.e. shut up, fuck off or stop kicking my fucking seat. (but said in a more grown up way)

Lick it- they'll soon move!
