After a 5 hour flight every joint in my body hurts. Most people dont seem to have this issue. What’s wrong with me?

    This was going to be my question too. I understand there are certain sized people who can comfortably sit on a plane but I’m not one of them. Even worse is when the idiot in front of you thinks they’re entitled to recline but there’s nowhere for your knees to go, or, I don’t remember what airline but where it’s easier to watch the screen of the person in front of you than your own

      Why wouldn’t they be entitled to recline? Seems to be an issue with the airline not providing enough space and not the person in front of you.

        So I should suffer, right? I didn’t really want to start this old war again where the self-righteous short people feel entitled to cause pain for those of us just a little taller, but just like anything else, your right to be a shithead ends where it causes me physical harm. How is you repeatedly slamming your seat back into my knees any different from little napoleon walking up and hitting someone? And are you going crying to the flight attendant if I feel entitled to defend myself?

            ¿Por que no los dos? Airlines are clearly guilty of making flying as miserable as they can profit off of, and deserve a share of the blame for pretty much every air rage incident. That doesn’t change the fact that self-righteous asshats insisting they have a right to recline, are literally hitting the person behind them. In any other scenario, self defense would be justified

                You have a voice. Why can’t you use it to scream “FIRE” in a crowded theater?

                You have two arms. Why can’t you use them to slap <POLITICAL CANDIDATE> silly?

                You bought a car with excellent safety systems. Why can’t you use it to take care of that slow driver in front of you once and for all?

                I bought a ticket that included my knees. Why can’t I bring them with me?
