Why are some people assholes? I was on a flight today and the lady behind me kept pushing against my seat. I am obviously much taller than she is and yet I'm able to sit myself in a way where there's still space between my knees and the seat in front of me. What I usually do is to slide both my feet under to completely extend them. I really don't get why anyone would need to push against the seat in front? Is it a cultural thing or is it pure disrespect for others or just being an asshole?
