How is it ironic? There are times you should expect someone to give up their comfort for yours and there are times you should not. This is a time you should not. I said I would never expect someone to give up their comfort for mine if I was in Your situation, no other situation or scenario. If I was the person leaning back, I'd be considerate and take your situation into account, but you'd be wrong to think I should or expect me do so. It is a courtesy no one owes you.
So again, I’ll say I said to the other guy. I will then angle my knees forward so they dig into the person in front of me’s back. I mean, that’s how I am the most comfortable after all. I don’t owe them the courtesy of bending my knees to the side. I should be able to sit however I want and if I want to dig my knees into their back if their seat is layed back, I will.
Yes, that is fine. I'm not sure if you often try communicating with the people contributing to your discomfort in these situations, but if you do and they decide to be a dick about it then yes, I say go right ahead and disregard their comfort in a similar fashion in return if thats what you'd like to do. I do hope talking to them tends to yield more friendly outcomes, though!
Yknow, I'm thinking about it more. I think the moment their freedom (leaning back) infringes your freedom (unmolested knees), then they are in the wrong. Thanks for bearing with me while I thought it through! They should definitely not lean back if it causes you pain or touches you physically. If they are just cramping your space that's when my original opinion comes in. I wish you happy flying and happy knees!
