    Fuck that. I’d ask him to stop and then tell the flight attendant immediately if it doesn’t. If he wants a footrest, he’s welcome to purchase a second ticket for the seat in front of him.

      I agree with you, but (as someone who’s reconfigured the seating on a lot of airplanes) we gotta hold airlines accountable for the continued war on leg room.

        As a tall person that must now pay extra for the privilege of not having to cut my legs off to fly comfortably, I appreciate having another soldier in the fight.

          I have to pay for business class because I’m stupidly tall and even that was a little tight. Every time my wife wants me to fly internationally I avoid the conversation like the plague because I don’t want to have to pay for first class.

        This is the correct response.

        Yes it’s weird to take your shoes off and stretch out on a flight, but the real problem is the airlines being cheap motherfuckers.
