If some [censored] handed me that card, I'd probably be speechless, but in my dream world, I would have a baseball bat, and be taking it to his knee while screaming. "Where's your [censored] knee defender now [censored]!?" all Samuel L. Jackson style and whatnot.

Rather than imposing on the people in front, why don't you 7' tall freaks of nature cough up for a first class seat??

Because $7k is a lot more than $1k.

Got it.

Because you can't afford upgrades and you are gargantuan, I must accomodate you.

[Blarg]

Why can't tall people just build their own planes, then fly them? This would save everybody else a lot of trouble.

I think I'm making a lot of sense here.

[Meech]

I'm thinking more along the lines of a shipping crate. Lots 'o potential leg room there.

Wow. Nice find.

Here's the full text:

This is a Knee Defender™ Courtesy Card™

I am using Knee Defender. Knee Defender is a small plastic device that helps me protect myself by limiting how much the seat in front of me can recline. I wanted to let you know about this and provide the following information:

___ Unfortunately, my legs are so long that if you recline your seat at all it would immediately bang into my knees.

___ As best I can estimate, you could recline your seat about ____ inches without banging into my knees. If you would like to recline your seat this much at some point during the flight, please let me know and I will adjust my Knee Defender so that is possible.

___ If you would like to recline your seat at some point during the flight, please let me know and I will try to adjust myself and my Knee Defender so that it can be done safely.

I realize that this may be an inconvenience. If so, I hope you will complain to the airline. Maybe working together we can convince the airlines to provide enough space between rows so that people can recline their seats without banging into other passengers.

Thank you for your understanding.



Unbelievable.

All you tallies just need to buy yourselves your own planes. Sheesh.

[Yeti]

i just hate threads like this...so many idiots, urgh.

for me one of the most annoying things about someone reclining is the fact that your tray table now becomes worthless and using a laptop is impossible.

a lot of people seem to say 'well the guy in front of me reclined, so you're damn right i'm going to!'....huh? wouldn't you just be happier if nobody reclined?

Imagine me living in the best of both worlds (tall and fat, but working on the fat)

sort of like the prisons dilemma. The difference being people have the option to communicate here. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So far, so good. No fatties or tallies either in front, to the side or directly behind in all my flying life.

One smelly guy on the right once. That's it.
