I was flying recently and the guy to my left and I were having a serious battle over leg room. In my opinion, he was taken up way too much room. I’m not gonna lie, I like to spread out a lot on flights, but I am always in my given space range so as to not affect other people. I would keep spreading my legs a little bit to let the guy know he was in my territory, but to his credit he barely budged. Either he knew what was going down and wasn’t willing to give an inch, or he was wondering why the guy next to him kept trying to play footsie the whole flight. Definitely going to have to file today’s battle as a loss for me, but more importantly, a lesson learned. You learn a lot about the lengths people are willing to go when sitting next to them on an airplane. If you want to thrive in the unspoken battles on airplanes you need a cold-hearted, take no prisoners approach. Sad, but true.
Happy Super Bowl Sunday though, let’s go Pats.
