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

Guy sounds like a real a-hole

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

Anyone got a picture of said gadget?

the real problem are the people that feel the need to recline their fat heads an extra 3" at the expense of someone's leg room so they can try to feel pampered while riding in lolcoach. you're not special; put your seat up.

and yes it's trashy.

I've never understood the need to recline your seat 2 degrees. When I first heard about this I was on the guy's side. I feel like I'd be more uncomfortable knowing I've messed with the space of the person behind me than I would being upright. Then I read here that they were banned. Now he's out of line. But what a bitch to throw water.

I flew first class recently for the first time. The bells and whistles were stupid and useless. But not having to worry about that type of BS was nice. Very nice .

That guy is a hero. If I ever have to fly bitch (middle seat) for work, my legs ae so long the person in front of me cannot recline without banging my knees. I am at the point I will use my own airline miles to get exit row seating for work flights where they won't pay for my upgrades.

Am I the only one who initially read "legroom" similar to lebron?
