a flight back from America, this time though it was the people in the seats in fron of us. They were "large" people and reclined almost straight away and ended up in our laps, and to make matters worse, the middle seat was broken and came back further! Made getting up for us and going to the loo very difficult, I was in the window seat and had no choice but to grab onto the seats in front when I wanted to get out, much to their disgust. A simple solution would have been for these people to put their seats forward a tad, but with them having a ample girth, this would have meant they had little room from the seats in fron of them. So we just had to grin and bear it, from the remarks that came from them when we did move, no amount of talking to them would have done any good. In the end, I just made sure they knew when I was trying to climb out of my seat. I do recline my seat but not all the way and always try to accomodate the people behind me, but not all people are considerate of others. If only I could afford business class LOL!
