Things I Hate: When I Get On An Airplane...
...and find myself in the window seat, jammed next to you, a guy who can't seem to stay within the proper seat boundaries. Although you are tall, you are certainly not a giant--nor are you overweight. So there is NO reason to spread your legs so that your knee is firmly planted diagonally in the seat in front of me, effectively cutting off any movement of MY legs at all. And there is NO reason to stick your elbow into my ribs for the ENTIRE flight, even after I've conspicuously shifted my body around so that there is no way for you to ignore the sizable mass suddenly attached to that joint.
Monopolize the arm rest.
Fine.
But for the love of all that is holy, STOP jiggling your leg with such force that it reverberates through the knee-to-shoulder body contact we have failed to avoid, because it's JARRING MY TEETH.
And forgive me if I accidentally slam my foot down on your toes when we land. You see, I thought it was safe to place my feet there, seeing as it was well within my 32" of leg room.
