I'm thinking seriously about stealing his sock.

"accidently" step on it.

[–] hydrashok@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Fuck that. I’d ask him to stop and then tell the flight attendant immediately if it doesn’t. If he wants a footrest, he’s welcome to purchase a second ticket for the seat in front of him.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I agree with you, but (as someone who's reconfigured the seating on a lot of airplanes) we gotta hold airlines accountable for the continued war on leg room.

[–] hydrashok@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

As a tall person that must now pay extra for the privilege of not having to cut my legs off to fly comfortably, I appreciate having another soldier in the fight.

[–] PoliteDudeInTheMood@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

I have to pay for business class because I'm stupidly tall and even that was a little tight. Every time my wife wants me to fly internationally I avoid the conversation like the plague because I don't want to have to pay for first class.

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Other passengers shouldn't be a collateral damage.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

100% Agreed.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I literally can't fit on planes with 30" seat pitch.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

This is the correct response.

Yes it's weird to take your shoes off and stretch out on a flight, but the real problem is the airlines being cheap motherfuckers.

[–] Kind_to_Everyone@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Not a single open seat on the flight.

I was with my family, so I simply adopted a wide stance.

[–] pumpupthejam@piefed.social 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not calling anybody a liar, but for me to be able to continue in society I'm telling myself this is staged.

[–] Kind_to_Everyone@slrpnk.net 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh it wasn't staged.

I would say I don't know the guy, but given his foot poked and carressed my leg at various points during the flight, I would argue we are at some greater level of intimacy.

[–] oopsgodisdeadmybad@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Kind_to_Everyone@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

We missed that opportunity. I will now go my life wondering what could have been if I left my wife and kids, and started anew with the foot freak in seat 23A.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Grind it and start moaning.

[–] Kind_to_Everyone@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

I legitimately think he would have liked that.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oops! Sorry I dropped my pickle juice

[–] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

I find hot coffee readily available and much more effective.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 8 points 2 weeks ago

Time to "misplace" a pen.

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Kind_to_Everyone@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

I think he might have been into tbat.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

I shouldn't have had to scroll so far for this correct answer.

[–] sunsofold@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

If you're going on down to Nashville looking for a sole to steal, look under your seat.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

If you steal his sock you steal his soul

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Steel Toes are safety shoes for a reason.

[–] dektep@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

crush every single bone!
