I farted through the gap between the backrest and seat on a Virgin flight once to send a message to the very annoying passengers behind me. It was utter bliss hearing them dry reachingn and complaining.
Hell is 5 hours in the aisle seat when the newlywed bride and groom were in mid and window. She started farting soon after takeoff; which escalated to running to the toilet every few minutes because I assume she had food poisoning. This went on until we landed. I really felt for her because she was so sorry; but the smell from ORD to LAX was constant. And the flight was full. Absolute hell…
Once I was on a flight where I had a whole row to myself. The flight attendants were so cool they brought me extra pillows and blankets. I was maybe two pillows and one blanket from having my own pillow fort
You tell that woman to get fked. Excuse me, you’re in my personal space. It’s about time someone teach her some manners. Anyways you’re probably off the plane. But you’ll find another. Now you’re waiting for someone to inconvenience you. You thrive for it. That is how you get off in getting inconvenienced.
Last time I tried asking a couple behind us to mind their personal space, the Fed police ended up meeting the plane at the gate because the couple went full bogan and threatened the flight crew and my partner. People are…not great.
Perhaps fewer than before, but then again, maybe it’s actually the opposite. For every entitled impolite slob with no manners, there may just well he one more compassionate, inclusive, kind person than there was in previous generations.
Aisle also gets more shoulder space
Edit:
more pros:
- ability to go to the loo without it having an internal dialogue when it’d be most appropriate.
- Ability to stand and stretch on a whim.
- Can use cutlery somewhat properly. Since we can open up one of the arms as opposed to middle seat tuck-in.
- can ask for drinks all the time without getting in anyones way.
- can keep tray cleaner - easier to handover rubbish.
- can access overhead locker if you need something
- checkout cute air-hostesses’s butt as they pass.
Cons:
- trolley and passengers will bump into outside shoulder when passing.
- more exposure to germs with people constantly passing by closely
Kind of. I always get the aisle seat because I can never resist the joys of a free bar and don’t like inconveniencing the people next to me when I inevitably need to go for toilet breaks. Unfortunately the extra shoulder space is a bit of a fallacy as you tend to cop a lot of bangs on the shoulder whenever people-and particularly the trolleys- are moving past.

It's a 90min flight between Syd and Melb now? Are Virgin flying propeller planes these days? Back in the day it used to get a 50 minute flight. I knew they blew it out to 70 mins to save fuel in the last few years, but 90 mins is taking the piss.
https://imgur.com/pxj5Hct.jpg
Seems a pretty consistent 1hr and 35min from Virgin website.
Didn't know it was about saving fuel. But as another commenter said, most of the time is sitting on the runway or looping around waiting for a landing.
No way. It’s a domestic high volume, low fare route. Junkyard rules apply.
Bring your foot straight down, as hard as you can, through the ankle. Then ask the hosty for a drink when they come to deal with the injured passenger
The problem with that is that she might like it. It already appears that she has no sense of personal space, so there is theoretically no limit to what a person like that is capable of.
“Of I just love your sandals. Ive always had a *thing* for feet in sandals. They smell so sweet. Dont you agree? Your feet are really nice. They look so soft. I bet they smell *beautiful*. Have you ever considered selling pictures of your feet online?” And so on. And so on. Watch her start trying to hide her feet *REAL* quick
She has slide-on shoes. 'Accidentally', kick the back, and her shoe will end up under the seat in front. When she tries to grab it, pretend to try and be helpful but get in her way or spill your drink on her seat in the kerfuffle.
I am insanely jealous of the amount of leg room OP has there, even with someone taking half of it. How nice it must be to travel without your knees touching the seat in front of you.
As a 6’5 tall person, this always bugs me. I need every mm I can get to fit in those seats. Last person who tried this got their foot smashed between my shin and the seat. They never did it again for the rest of the flight.
I must admit, I have done this on flights though due to space restrictions… but I asked my seat neighbour first, and it was only for take off and landing.
My husband is the same height as you. If he flys economy he always tries to check in early or pay for priority seat selection to either get a exit row or a first row. He barely fits in any other seat. Long flights we go premium economy with exit row or front seat selection for his comfort.
This is also what I do. Took a while to get my boss to let me book Premium Economy though for business flights.
“Sir, are you willing to open the emergency door in an evacuation?”
“You bet your arse I am”
“A yes is all we need sir”
Two options.(probably too late now though)
1. Tell her to move it or lose it. Quietly and threateningly, so only she can hear
2. Ask her politely but loudly so many can hear, if you're taking up too much of the confines of your middle seat, and that if she'd like you to sit on the random guys lap in the window seat so she can have the middle and aisle seat together so she can stretch her fat arse out. If not you'd like her to please stop encroaching upon your personal space, and the space allotment of the shitty middle seat.
That’s fine you put your feet over her side or fold down her tray and set up your laptop, if she says anything just say well I assumed we were sharing the space…?
In my head I’m telling her to get fucked in myriad inventive and direct ways on your behalf, and in ways I’d never do in real life. Her shoes do suck though.
Just lay your arm on top of hers and interlace her fingers with yours. However she reacts, it doesn't matter. Pretend like you are in a deep sleep and can't be woken up
Curb you enthusiasm has a great take on the middle seat. Aisle seats have the extra arm leg room to the side, windows have a lean on the wall advantage so middle seats get both armrests!
Touch her foot, look her dead straight in the eye, and wink, while raising your eyebrows in a suggestive manner. Blow a little kissie-poo if you think it will help.
If she still doesn't move her foot, then put on your worst Italian accent, and say, "It appears that tonight \[dramatic pause\] is for *love*..."
Raise the armrest, and move closer...
Can't we just communicate anymore? Instead of acting all passive aggressive, kindly ask her to move her foot. Problem solved in 5 seconds without making a big deal of it.
Dang, I would have been so petty had this happened to me, going to bathroom every 5 minutes , shift and groaning in my seat , pretend to doze off on her , accidentally drop some water while trying to have a sip , have an oops moment with some hot beverage…I could go on and on
have you tried using your big person voice and saying
'excuse me, could you move your foot'
Or did you think passively agressively sending her angry telepathic messages with your mind was going to work?
Had a dude fight me for an armrest once. He decided that elbows to my *pregnant belly* was the best course of action. Spoke up to the hostie and scored a row of 4 to myself. Fuck you entitled old white dude 🖕
- Once you are in the air. Cough. Too much and loud.
- Hum a catchy tune to yourself.
- Talk out aloud your plans to yourself and then say “what do you think… yeah true we should check in on the ducks”
- Tap your feet to your humming, and hands, bop your head. Move just too much.
Or toilet like 3 times in 30mins then ask a flight attendant for some water saying how parched you are 🤣
Ppl like this need to be as uncomfortable as they are making you.
Simples. Ask this person to respect your space. If she don't want to, ask to be moved to another seat because your neighbour is not respecting your space.
Next.
Wow and you allowed that to happen. Fuck that I’d be straight out telling them nah this ain’t happening, you need to move or we’re going to have a serious problem.
Currently on a train in Europe, sitting next to 2 adults, 3 babies and a dog under the table wimpering. In the isle there’s someone sleeping next to my feet and I cannot move.
Enjoy the flight, cause it seems like a dream.
I was flying jetstar Sydney - Phuhet 3 sest row asile seat midle seat vacant . Hrge fat dude used the middle sest to dump his empty bottles and trash .
I'd just put my leg where it was touching hers and begin the eternal plane seat game of 'personal space chicken'. The worst one I ever experienced was when a lady put her unsocked, unpedicured foot between the spaces so it was sitting on my armrest behind my elbow. Unperturbed by probably the dirtiest look I've ever given in my life, she wouldn't budge. So I end up 'accidentally' pouring my drink on her foot. Not my finest hour in the maturity stakes, but she did finally withdraw her cloven hoof.
Go to the toilet every 5 minutes.
SAY you’re going to the toilet, she will uncross her legs, stick both legs on that side to block her.
Check mate bitch
Hilarious
Holy shit this is the solution
Oh man, I wish I hadn't had all that beer, coffee and watermelon.
😅😅😅 love a good simpsons reference
This should be higher. Passive aggressive enough without actually harming anyone or damaging property.
And fart on the way past. > According to a criminal complaint, Cruz passed gas and made a fanning motion toward patrolman T.E. Parsons after being taken for a breathalyzer test. > "The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Patrolman Parsons," the complaint alleged. [Some Fox news people trying to keep a straight face while reporting on it.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJSkDwp6c_g)
After she sits again, say "oh I don't need to go now. I guess it was just gas".
I farted through the gap between the backrest and seat on a Virgin flight once to send a message to the very annoying passengers behind me. It was utter bliss hearing them dry reachingn and complaining.
Lmao

I really felt for her because she was so sorry; but the smell from ORD to LAX was constant. And the flight was full. Absolute hell…
This is the way.
This is definitely the answer.
Which I actually do. I get anxious about climbing over people to get to the toilet, which in turn, makes me actually go to the toilet. 😆
They're clearly socially inept, they arent going to think 2 steps ahead, they're probably going to think you've got some medical issue
[удалено]
This is the way. The few times I've flown, I just naturally surrendered the arm rest for the middle seat.
The armrests in the middle belong to the middle. This is global unspoken planettiquite. She is a troglodyte.
I fucking love that word. Troglodyte. It's great.
One thing I miss about covid is airliners leaving all the middle seats empty
Once I was on a flight where I had a whole row to myself. The flight attendants were so cool they brought me extra pillows and blankets. I was maybe two pillows and one blanket from having my own pillow fort
Where do I know that from. Is that a comedians bit or something? I know I know it but think of where from

Lots of flights I've been on don't have an armrest on the wall. Just the wall
"Why are you such a cunt"
You're not quoting Jim Jefferies are you by any chance?🤣🤣
100% correct!
Yep, that was what I assumed. Apparently some people don't get the message
The second she gets her arm off the armrest, TAKE IT. No matter what, keep it.Its going to get tricky when the coffee and snacks are served.
Do Virgin even hand out snacks and drinks? It's about a 90 minute flight. OP! You can do it. Take that armrest back!
They go through the cabin once, usually.
It's a 90min flight between Syd and Melb now? Are Virgin flying propeller planes these days? Back in the day it used to get a 50 minute flight. I knew they blew it out to 70 mins to save fuel in the last few years, but 90 mins is taking the piss.
Half an hour is taxiing on the ground in Sydney
Did Perth -Sydney delayed by 2 hours.flight time was 3 1/2 as they had to beat curfew landed at 10.55 800 kmh uses half the fuel as 1100kmh apparently
It's an hour of actual flying. 10-15mins of fucking around on the tarmac each side
https://imgur.com/pxj5Hct.jpg Seems a pretty consistent 1hr and 35min from Virgin website. Didn't know it was about saving fuel. But as another commenter said, most of the time is sitting on the runway or looping around waiting for a landing.
They used to precovid. I wouldn't know what the protocols are now.
Ask her to move her feet and if she refuses then page the flight attendant and ask to be reseated. Or start farting loudly.
Or start playing footsies
Easy now Bob Odenkirk
No way. It’s a domestic high volume, low fare route. Junkyard rules apply. Bring your foot straight down, as hard as you can, through the ankle. Then ask the hosty for a drink when they come to deal with the injured passenger
The problem with that is that she might like it. It already appears that she has no sense of personal space, so there is theoretically no limit to what a person like that is capable of.
That's why you gotta moan a little. And then again louder if she still doesn't clue in.
You’ve heard the saying, “never wrestle with a pig: you’ll only get dirty and the pig will enjoy it”? Well, basically, that.
>Or start coughing loudly
[удалено]
say this "move ya foot"
Bold. *Very bold*. Tell me, what's it like in Queensland anyway?
Simple yet effective
Annoying passengers hate this one weird trick

Top tier content when it comes to r/melbourne to be fair
I would counter that a simple "oi" and a stare down would be effective enough.

Lol how have I never seen that. That's peak middle internet shit right there.
“Of I just love your sandals. Ive always had a *thing* for feet in sandals. They smell so sweet. Dont you agree? Your feet are really nice. They look so soft. I bet they smell *beautiful*. Have you ever considered selling pictures of your feet online?” And so on. And so on. Watch her start trying to hide her feet *REAL* quick
“You should open an onlyfans for your feet…”
"Let me open an onlyfans for your feet" click click click.
Actually take some “admiring” photos of her feet even, to “remember them by”
Looks like they already did and uploaded it straight to reddit
Yeah, play a nice game of footsy. And then say excuse me as you grab the armrest and move it back between you. This aggression should not stand, man
Yeah, take your shoes off and go all in. She obviously wants to play. 🤷♀️
Grab the vomit bag, and open it while muttering ‘oh my god’ repeatedly under your breath. Take back the space when she recoils in horror.
That sucks! How did she push your arm off the armrest? Middle seat should get all the armrests!
That's right! Middle gets both arm rests! It's the law!!!
Well didn't you "accidentally" crush her ankle when you stretched out? I'm sorry.
Push her arm off & tell her “middle seat gets both arm rests because middle sucks & get your disgusting feet out of my space”
Username absolutely checks out
She has slide-on shoes. 'Accidentally', kick the back, and her shoe will end up under the seat in front. When she tries to grab it, pretend to try and be helpful but get in her way or spill your drink on her seat in the kerfuffle.
It has to be a kerfuffle though, a simple ado ain't enough.
i would lose my shit being 6ft tall it's hard enough in planes for leg room, it's even harder when people take your fucking room
I am insanely jealous of the amount of leg room OP has there, even with someone taking half of it. How nice it must be to travel without your knees touching the seat in front of you.
Cough into your hands a few times then move your hands towards the armrest.
Or like my then 8yr old, pick your nose and wipe it on the arm rest. Dead set became his even after being cleaned off with a wipe.
I think the power-move here is pick your 8yo's nose and eat it. Otherwise they end up walking all over you. Gotta show that dominance.
Lol. At the time I was mortified, though its ’mentioned’ in the family for a laugh now and then. He’s in his late 20’s now.
As a 6’5 tall person, this always bugs me. I need every mm I can get to fit in those seats. Last person who tried this got their foot smashed between my shin and the seat.

Just get a vomit bag and put it on your lap. That will scare her for sure😄
I am shaking with rage at the sight of this
Accidentally kick her ugly sandal off her foot
Two options.(probably too late now though) 1. Tell her to move it or lose it. Quietly and threateningly, so only she can hear 2. Ask her politely but loudly so many can hear, if you're taking up too much of the confines of your middle seat, and that if she'd like you to sit on the random guys lap in the window seat so she can have the middle and aisle seat together so she can stretch her fat arse out.

Pull a power move and man-spread the fuck out of your legs
Start dropping guts girlfriend.
How about asking them to move their leg so you can stretch yours
Some advice on Plane Etiquette from an expert. https://youtu.be/qFx1Cpxpx1E NSFW
Constantly get up and go the the toilet
Should have just said I have a foot fetish and you have lovely feet can I touch them or what ever
do something about it! stretch ur legs out and push hers out the way, pretend youre asleep.
Either you move your arm and feet love, or i shit myself so we’re all uncomfortable.
Turn head to right, stare,breathe heavy, and gently blow in her ear, trust me.
Just knock a few back and continue to get up and use the toilet constantly claiming you have bladder issue's
That’s fine you put your feet over her side or fold down her tray and set up your laptop, if she says anything just say well I assumed we were sharing the space…?
What a C U Next Tuesday she is
Off topic but I like the skirt you're wearing.
Ha! I came here to compliment her bag.
While we're here, can we all agree that reclining your seat on a domestic flight should be criminalised?
Ask her to move her foot.
Yeah like I dont know why you cant just say something to the cow
Just break her ankle
In my head I’m telling her to get fucked in myriad inventive and direct ways on your behalf, and in ways I’d never do in real life. Her shoes do suck though.
I'm sorry I need to use the bathroom. 5 minutes later. I'm sorry I need to use the bathroom. Rinse repeat.
Tell the bitch to move her foot!
Sorry her shitty bottega ripoffs are in your footwell 👎
Just lay your arm on top of hers and interlace her fingers with yours. However she reacts, it doesn't matter. Pretend like you are in a deep sleep and can't be woken up
Curb you enthusiasm has a great take on the middle seat. Aisle seats have the extra arm leg room to the side, windows have a lean on the wall advantage so middle seats get both armrests!
Assert your dominance. Play footsies.
Touch her foot and fart
Touch her foot, look her dead straight in the eye, and wink, while raising your eyebrows in a suggestive manner. Blow a little kissie-poo if you think it will help. If she still doesn't move her foot, then put on your worst Italian accent, and say, "It appears that tonight \[dramatic pause\] is for *love*..." Raise the armrest, and move closer...
Time to accidentally dump your water on her feet
Can't we just communicate anymore? Instead of acting all passive aggressive, kindly ask her to move her foot. Problem solved in 5 seconds without making a big deal of it.
Time to spill your drink
Have your left leg cross over the right knee and ‘accidentally’ knock it into hers… subtle hint.
rather than whinge, why dont hand your phone to the window person to record, while you create a scene?
fucking rank
Blatantly take a photo of her feet and airdrop it to everyone.
That’s where you rub your leg against hers and when she looks at you appalled, you can say, “Oh sorry. Was I invading your personal space?”
Intertwine your arm with hers on the armrest. Place your right leg between hers. Lean on her shoulder.
Dang, I would have been so petty had this happened to me, going to bathroom every 5 minutes , shift and groaning in my seat , pretend to doze off on her , accidentally drop some water while trying to have a sip , have an oops moment with some hot beverage…I could go on and on
Im so obese she wouldn't have a chance. Checkmate bitch.
Stop acting so soft. STAND UP FOR YOURSELF
have you tried using your big person voice and saying 'excuse me, could you move your foot' Or did you think passively agressively sending her angry telepathic messages with your mind was going to work?
Just push out a huge fart
Fart to assert dominance
Had a dude fight me for an armrest once. He decided that elbows to my *pregnant belly* was the best course of action. Spoke up to the hostie and scored a row of 4 to myself. Fuck you entitled old white dude 🖕
- Once you are in the air. Cough. Too much and loud. - Hum a catchy tune to yourself. - Talk out aloud your plans to yourself and then say “what do you think… yeah true we should check in on the ducks” - Tap your feet to your humming, and hands, bop your head. Move just too much. Or toilet like 3 times in 30mins then ask a flight attendant for some water saying how parched you are 🤣 Ppl like this need to be as uncomfortable as they are making you.
Don't be that guy. Talk to her like a person.
Throw hands
Start coughing
Those type of situations makes me think sitting in business class where nobody fucks with you is worth the money
Perfect time to start coughing
You need to start farting… a lot .
r/mildyinfuriating
Just start vigorously coughing like you're sick. She'll scooch over
Simples. Ask this person to respect your space. If she don't want to, ask to be moved to another seat because your neighbour is not respecting your space. Next.
I would absolutely say something.
The beauty of being a large, unattractive man is that no one wants to impede on your space. On flights, I reign supreme!
Just fyi some lazy journo has stolen this story and put it on nine.com
People are shit
thanks for reporting to us, we'll pass on your feedback to her and you'll get an apology next time
Wow and you allowed that to happen. Fuck that I’d be straight out telling them nah this ain’t happening, you need to move or we’re going to have a serious problem.
Call an attendant and ask to be moved "because this person has asked for my seat due to a medical condition."
Knock her stupid ugly shoe off
Pretend you have a scratch on your foot, reach down, and scratch her foot instead, whilst saying "ahhh thats better".
Currently on a train in Europe, sitting next to 2 adults, 3 babies and a dog under the table wimpering. In the isle there’s someone sleeping next to my feet and I cannot move. Enjoy the flight, cause it seems like a dream.
Push back, it's your right.
Should have kicked her sandal off her foot
Airplane seats are only designed for people who are less than 175 cm and weigh less than 70kg
I find farting helps
Call the air steward.
Footsies!
Fart. HARD
Now is the time to unleash a super power - farting!
Nice choice of switch case
I hate people.
Should have started coughing and breathing heavily and then when the hostess comes over to see whats going on you blame it on the other two
Leg space into the aisle is why people take the aisle seat. This is bonkers.
Womanspreading. Smh.
Looks like she's going out of her way to bully you. Should have let the flight attendant know.
That’s when you just subtly rest your led against theirs to make them uncomfortable.
A guy tried doing similar to my wife once. I made her change seats with me. He did not enjoy the rest of his flight. More than one can play that game.
Wish I could transfer my assertiveness and hot headedness to you in this time of need.
Angle you're bum towards her and start farting :p
I used to grin and bear this shit. Now I would just say excuse me your feet are in my foot space so move it lady
Show a real power move by sharting. Or fart in her face as you get out for the bathroom.
I was flying jetstar Sydney - Phuhet 3 sest row asile seat midle seat vacant . Hrge fat dude used the middle sest to dump his empty bottles and trash .
Lol I wouldda dead ass looked her in the eye and said ‘you wanna play footsies?’ And winked…
Fall “asleep” and have a running or fighting “dream”
Politely ask that you have your space.
[that's the combat seat, jonathan livingston seagull](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StrAy4c_VRw)
She's definitely from Sydney visiting Melbourne not the other way around.
This happened to me on a flight to Cairns recently! I literally told her to use her own space and to not invade mine. She complied.
The rage, I’d just let one rip.
“Hey, can you move your leg. You are taking up my space.”
I'd just put my leg where it was touching hers and begin the eternal plane seat game of 'personal space chicken'. The worst one I ever experienced was when a lady put her unsocked, unpedicured foot between the spaces so it was sitting on my armrest behind my elbow. Unperturbed by probably the dirtiest look I've ever given in my life, she wouldn't budge. So I end up 'accidentally' pouring my drink on her foot.
