'I'll stop when I can put my seat back': Traveler faces off with tall dude in squabble over airplane space

These travelers couldn't agree on who deserves to have leg room. They ended up getting in an argument, which u/earthshaker495 shared to r/MaliciousCompliance.

This story takes place aboard a long haul flight — the OP was flying from Los Angeles to Singapore, a 16 hour journey. You'd certainly need to sleep and eat at least two meals aboard a flight that long. Long flights can feel endless — you can watch several full movies, only to realize you still have eight hours left of your flight. So you may as well get some sleep, too, so that you can be rested and refreshed when you get to your destination. It may not be the most comfy sleep you ever get, but it's better than nothing. 

This person couldn't even really do that. The OP writes that as a tall dude, it's hard for them to get comfortable at all — their knees usually bump right up against the seat in front of them. That means the person in front of them can't recline without making the OP even more uncomfortable. Instead of just talking it out or accepting that sometimes things don't go your way, the passenger threw a fit. 

Check out the whole story below. Then, check out these people whose coworkers had them rolling their eyes.
