Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : This happened a couple years ago and it still haunts me. I was on a long flight (9hrs) and as soon as we were in the air, the guy in front of me reclined his seat all the way back to watch a film. Fair enough, I thought, and carried on trying to watch my own screen and eventually eat a meal with the fold out table pretty much touching my abdomen.  

The hours went by and it was time to try to sleep. I put away my table, got out the blanket and slowly reclined my seat like everyone else had at this point. Seconds later the guy behind me starts kicking my seat. He kicks harder and harder until I turn around and ask him to stop.

I turn around and this tall guy in his 20s starts aggressively shouting at me, he is sat with his brother and father and keeps shouting “LONG LEGS! LONG LEGS! I HAVE NO SPACE” and tries to get me to put my seat back up.

In a panic I push my seat up but I feel so claustrophobic and uncomfortable in the dark with this seat in front of me reclined while I’m up straight that I start to feel panicky. (Probably doesn’t help that I’d just been screamed at by a stranger). I give in and recline my seat back again a little bit, which meant the entire way to our destination he kept kicking my chair and waking me up.

AITA for reclining? I’m not super tall, and he was tall. But surely he could’ve paid for a ticket with more leg room?
