Long flights can be tough and often leave you feeling uncomfortable. Sitting in the same spot for hours can make you restless, and it takes a lot of patience to get through it. But there are times when certain things happen that go beyond just being annoying — they can really frustrate you and make the whole experience much worse.
This reminds me of my flight back from Egypt. Every time I shifted in my seat, he began kicking it as aggressively as he could. When I leaned back slightly, he called the flight attendant and began screaming at her that a woman couldn’t lean her seat into his space. He was pushing it as hard as possible to force my seat up. Flight attendant apologized and told him I could lean my seat back if I wanted. My husband kept asking if I wanted to swap with him. I said no, and leaned my seat all the way back for a seven hour flight. It was worth being constantly kicked from behind the entire time
