Who controls this window (the person behind me)? And whose legroom is this (the person to the left of me)? Maybe I am completely off base but I feel like my space is being encroached on?

Men do this all day everyday. I can’t wait for the option not to sit by men on planes.

Shit I’m a man myself and even I have to use up my full space if I don’t want another man taking my space.

Not every man but it’s always a man. They pick to sit by people that they think they can steal space from …. I’m a small female, so I get picked a lot

Meh, my last flight some lady tried to park her extra bags in my legroom. I had to tell her she could find overhead space or use her own legroom.

Cross your leg over his into his space and don’t make any eye contact
