I'm convinced the only people that complain about this shit are tiny little 4'2" assholes who cant fathom that normal sized humans being crammed into a tuna can of a seat isnt just uncomfortable, its downright painful... So painful in fact that I will literally jump out of my seat the microsecond I am able to, just to end the constant incurring pain.
I'm above average height, and after I get off a plane I have to go take a big dose of tylenol and spend half the day laying in bed for the pain and misery to go away.
and thats with paying extra for aisle seat so I can stretch oneleg out every 30 minutes when no ones walking by.
Getting in and out of those seats when you're over 5' 10" is like getting out of a child's lawn chair or a beanbag chair with arthritis and an oversized backpack. So every attempt is a feat of gymnastics of extricating your sore skeleton with cramped muscles with only the back of another passenger's chair as leverage with a low overhead to avoid. It's like doing contortionist work while hungover. And if you're not in the aisle seat, you gotta get 1-2 people to get up so you can pass them.
