Air travel is exhausting as is, but uncomfortable seats make it even worse. Especially when you’re on a long flight. Recently, Thrillist surveyed its readers, and 78% said the seat on their last flight was uncomfortable. People pointed out how seats lack padding, how narrow the seats are, and how there’s not enough legroom.
The protagonist of this story ran into this last issue as well. The passenger in front of him rudely insisted on reclining, but the author was unwilling to stand down. The passenger caused such a scene that even the copilot had to chime in. And his solution really put the entitled passenger in place.
