Heated Fight Over 'Legroom Gadget' Forces United Flight to Land

The fight started on a United Airlines flight because one passenger was using the Knee Defender, a $21.95 gadget that attaches to a passenger's tray table and prevents the person in front of them from reclining.
A flight attendant asked him to remove the device and he refused. The woman then stood up, turned around and threw a cup of water at him, the official says. That's when United decided to land in Chicago. The two passengers were not allowed to continue to Denver.
The device is banned on all U.S. Domestic carriers

I agree but at no point is throwing your drink at someone an acceptable means to show your frustration

Douchebags are meant to be filled with liquid.

Damn. That's fricked up of him to use
But I wish I had one for the bus. Who needs to recline on a 30-40 minute ride?

I once sat next to a 300 lb 5 foot tall dutch African woman on a transatlantic flight from NY to Amsterdam.
Her size did not let the middle aged balding American guy in front of her recline his seat. The argument they had and flight attendant intervention was quite comedic. It almost made up for only having one arm rest.
I made that lady get up every 45 min though to get back at her.
I know CSB , TL:DR

Lit public transit bus? The ones here definitely do not have reclining chairs

Good for him, I wish they'd remove the recline function in coach for domestic flights.

While I don't disagree... Using a banned device and not complying with a reasonable request is just

It sucks total arse on relatively short flights, especially if you're trying to accomplish anything (read, use your laptop to do work, etc.).
It's just one of many daily examples of a "I can so I will and frick everyone else" attitude that annoys me on the road, in the air, etc.

Houston metro bus. You know to take us suburban folks home from the city. It's like a greyhound
