Was home in Scotland last weekend for a friend's wedding. We had a great time but LA to Glasgow is a hell of a trip for a long weekend.
Anyway, had a bit of an altracation on the flight home. Basically, I was sitting in cattle class on a daytime flight. Now those of you who regularly fly will know economy seats are not hugely spacious, but on this BA flight I was pleasantly surprised - it was definately better than Virgin who I normally fly with. That was until the **** in the seat in front decided to recline his chair fully about 20 seconds after take off!!!
Am I alone in thinking this is the most inconsiderate thing anyone can do? I didn't have a lot of space to start with, but now I've got this ****'* head about 2 inches from my nose and no room to do anything. For 11 hours! I don't mind if its a night flight and everyone's sleeping, but this was a daytime flight.
Anyway, I sat there quietly fuming, until they served the meal, at which point I figured he'd put his seat forward. But oh no. As the steward and I struggled to manouver my own tray in to place I finally lost it and politely asked the guy to his seat forward, at least while we were eating. His response was, well, less than civil and basically involved telling me to **** off. I looked at the steward for help, but he just gave me a 'not my problem' look. I then proceeded to call the guy in front an arrogant fat person of questionable parentage which degenrated into a slagging match which was finally stopped when the chief pursor came back and told us both to behave.
Anyway, looking back the slagging match was all a bit childish, but am I alone in thinking aeroplane seat recliners are ignorant selfish so and so's?
