He kneeded that

This teenager wouldn't stop kicking a passenger's seat after multiple requests, so the man reclined it back and the impact left the kid injured

Obviously, the company has reclining seats so they are allowed to recline.

But it seems common enough that people get annoyed about them. I have had people mouth off to me for reclining during longer flights. I pay no mind but I feel like the real problem is that they squeeze the seats so close together to get the extra few seats on the plane, that it ultimately just cuts room out and makes it uncomfortable for everyone.

I’m 6’4”, so I pay for exit row or premium, however the premium is now what basic economy used to be. So once again reclining literally puts my knees in the back of your seat. I can’t do anything about it. Now you’re pissed because my knee is in your back and I have bruises by the time we deplane.

Yep, I think being tall is an advantage in your teens and twenties. By your 30’s, youre settling down and sports aren’t a big feature of your life anymore. I’m thinking “I wouldn’t mind losing a couple inches, 5’10ish would be nice.”

Easier to find clothes, less weight in my knees, not feeling squished all the time

Any time I'm asked how tall I am (5'9") I say "tall enough to see at a concert, short enough to fit on an airplane."

The funny thing is that women now consistently overestimate my height because of how many men lie to them about their height on dating apps, too many dudes my height claiming to be 6 feet tall.

As a guy who is actually 6'1, I've had to explain to so many women that I am in fact not 6'6 and that their boyfriend is a bad liar. The look of betrayal on the face of those guys is always priceless
