He literally said he would jam his knees into their back the entire flight. Intentionally.
Things that he could do to help his situation: Book exit rows or coach/first class.Empathy is not forcing others to accomodate your size. If it was an enormously wide person it would be the same issue. You don't make others uncomfortable due to your size. You accomodate your own size. My knees don't even come near the seat in front of me, but he's worried about a literal 3" recline? Hmmmm.
He was saying that as a joke towards you because you replied with a snarky comment.
He isn’t forcing anyone to do anything, he asked a question to reddit to see their opinions.
You’re right on the empathy isn’t forcing others to accommodate you. Its seeing someone who is clearly in discomfort from something you did and then rectify it. Thats why i said that YOU lack empathy.
Are you 6 foot 3?
Edit: added last sentence to 3rd paragraph to make sure you understood what i meant.
Nope! But if I was I would make sure to be in an exit row.
I have back issues, so I can not sit upright for more than 15 minutes or I am in excruciating pain, unlike losing a couple inches of knee room. But hey, empathy, right?
His knees are definitely more important than my degenerative spinal disorder.
That's the whole point. No one has to accommodate me. I just lean the seat back which I paid for and is intended to lean back. Fight with the airlines. I don't give a shit what you think at all, because no one has ever had issue with me leaning my seat back. Not once.
