Galley Gossip: 3 reasons flight attendants won't allow passengers to switch seats in flight {Gadling}

No link is present for direct reply to your comments back to me. For any person on the flight, be it a passenger or a flight attendant, if you are making contact with the person's knees by putting your seat back all the way, then I believe that to be unconsiderate or rude. The flight attendant is likely going to know from the person's height how much room there is, if any, between the seat being straight up and the person's knees. To continue to push backwards after there is contact made just makes it worse. Why would you imply that the person who has no place to go, and has no extra room between their knees any the seat in front is being rude? I check with the person behind me if it is ok to put the seat back, if there is anybody but a child in that seat. Treat others the way you would like to be treated. With me being over 6'3", , I believe that the attendant knew exactly what was occurring.
Galley Gossip: 3 reasons flight attendants won't allow passengers to switch seats in flight {Gadling}
Mar 18th 2010 8:43PM It would be nice to get the same consideration from the flight attendants that I gave them last week on the USAir flight back from the U.K. I had asked about moving, after the cabin door had closed, and was told that I could move from my window seat, but not directly into the empty seats in front of me, as they were the flight crew rest seats. The person next to me decided he would move from next to me (2 seats side by side) so that both of us would have more room. After about an hour into the flight, the same attendant came back to the rest area and decided to use the seat in front of me instead of the one closest to the aisle. She then proceeded to continue to grind the back of her seat into my knees. I am sure she was aware of what she doing. After about half an hour, she got back up to return to her duties. About halway through, a different attendant came back and only reclined her seat slightly for a rest (no problem). I ended up changing my right leg position towards the aisle seat to get some room back. The 1st attendant came back, and flopped the aisle seat back, compressing the bare metal rail on the back of the seat into my knee. My reaction was a fairly loud "Ow", and I jerked my leg back. She never even turned around. I don't expect anything special on the flights, but I do expect at least polite considerations, not the attitude I saw on this return flight. Worst flight I have had in several years due to the attitude and rudeness I observed from this crew, not only to me, but to other passengers.
Best of 2009 in Shopping {Shopping Articles Blog}
Jan 6th 2010 8:49PM My worst purchase of the year was buying a Toro self-propelled mower from Home Depot. Not only did this particular mulching model have the rear wheel jam with grass every time if the grass was wet, it was stolen from my locked shed about 3 months after I had purchased it. Insurance deductible was more than the $325 I had spent on it, so the loss is strictly in my savings.
