We're inclined to say that everyone was awful here. Including and especially the airline for false advertising when it comes to lack of proper leg room on flights.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Itchy-Smell8152, who was sitting in an economy seat when the person in front of them reclined. Perhaps that guy is to blame for what ultimately transpired (he who cast the first stone, am I right?). Anyway, when the original poster subsequently reclined as well, the extremely tall gentleman behind them expressed frustration. Now, to the Redditor's credit, this guy was 6'8 in a middle seat and was already invading the personal space of the people on either side of him. Where the Redditor went wrong was when they gave an entitled speech about all the other options at the disposal of the tall passenger. Lots of assumptions were made there that could just have been kept silent. Besides, as miserable as the leg room situation might be, a 1.5-hour flight is not the end of the world.
