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.

Start licking between her toes and sucking on the toes,
Never know you might find a new friend ;-)

ShirleyPhallus · 03/01/2018 22:57

Why don’t you just say this to her instead of starting a thread about it?

Why do you assume that she hasn’t?

Because presumably the OP would be entirely different! Confused

MN really is a parallel universe sometimes - in real life no-one gives a shit if the person in front reclines their chair so long as it isn’t during mealtimes but on MN posters go out their way to compete on bizarre methods of abusing the person in front in a “that’ll learn em’” type way.

Cut her toenails, or paint them.

Get a glass of water. Dip your fingers in it. Then spray the water on her foot as you pretend to sneeze.

WHere's the fun in that?

SlothMama · 03/01/2018 23:04

I'd tickle them if they refuse to move, minger

Some people are just CF flying numpties and I'm sure PPs are joking when they suggest violence! There are many things I'd like to say/Do but don't. But it's fun to think about doing them! 😁

Rudgie47 · 03/01/2018 23:06

Just ask her not to do it.
If she does it again get the air hostess.

MsJaneAusten · 03/01/2018 23:13

She’s last my haul isn’t she? We’re noy going to know for hours.

Namechangetempissue · 03/01/2018 23:15

Errr, the suggestions of violence are jokes of course GrinHmm. People don't REALLY imagine the OP is going to bite the CF toe or spill scalding coffee on them do they?! It's light hearted chat.

NewYearNiki · 03/01/2018 23:18

Longest 50 minutes of my life.

She did it several more times. Stuck her sweaty foot on my elbow and half up my arm rest . I elbowed her off every time. She finally said to her dp fuckin hell she keeps knocking my foot down. He ignored her.

She kicked the back of my seat a few times and I dug my heels in and rattled it back and said do you mind. She stopped.

Now on the ground. Staying seated until she gets off first. Cant be doing with this.

Start playing 'This little piggy'

PickAChew · 03/01/2018 23:20

Are you sat next to DS1. Chewed his ear off for doing the same to me, earlier!

NewYearNiki · 03/01/2018 23:23

I did say to her do you mind putting your foot down and then elbowed off after she ignored me.

Forgot to put that in op.

antuccit 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!
My dd had someone do this to her on a long haul flight and then fell asleep. When I complained to the hostess she told me there was nothing they could do. It’s selfish.

PickAChew · 03/01/2018 23:25

And, of course, every unwelcome intruding foot needs a smiley face drawn on it.

NewYearNiki · 03/01/2018 23:25

Oh shit. Now they can't attach the airbridge.

Still sitting with her behind me.

OP posts:
NewYearNiki · 03/01/2018 23:26

God anyone would love to sit behind me. I sit bolt upright entire flight as I enjoy looking out the window.

NewYearNiki · 03/01/2018 23:29

She is doing it again with her show on this time. Whilst we wait to get off.

Christ what a petty cow.

Can a grown adult not sit with their feet on the floor for 55 minutes?

RubyGoat · 03/01/2018 23:30

Definitely time for some loud comments about cheese.

Namechangetempissue · 03/01/2018 23:31

I probably would stand and "accidentally" tip water onto her foot this time. Obviously not on purpose, just where you were moving around getting ready to disembark...

Cantuccit · 03/01/2018 23:31

OP, shove it off! Do it for us!

NewYearNiki · 03/01/2018 23:31

Dirty cow

Get your fucking foot off my seat!
OP posts:
NewYearNiki · 03/01/2018 23:32

Was I really expected to sit all the flight however short with her dirty feet on my arm rest .

No need for violence. Do a massive, spraying, sneeze on it!
