Passenger manspreading into my space on a flight then acts like I inconvenienced him🤷‍♀️

[u/Beneficial-Month-333]

I early 20F sat in the middle seat next to a male on my flight. I had no issue with this however he was literally manspreading into my space. His leg was stretched out into my leg space and when I tried to give him hints to move he completely ignored me. He was very much taking up my space and making me feel crazy like this cannot be happening.

After a bit of not picking up my subtle hints I told him to move. To which he looked at me like I had significantly inconvenienced him. He then gave a slight eye roll and moved finally giving me space.

It would be even better if we learned to keep all of our limbs in our own space instead of making it our neighbor's problem.

Look out for the cops

I saw C.R.E.A.M. ale at the store the other day. Black can with the yellow W.

That's good marketing

Thankfully that is the default. Cases like this are the exception.

Yes, but this thread is not in response to the manspreader asking for advice.

[u/metdear → u/LordBlam]

Bold of you to assume he would.

You realize it is more than men who feel this discomfort and yet are still able to keep to themselves? (As a long legged woman who struggles on airplanes)

As soon as "manspeading" was used any chance of getting their point across to many was shut down.

[u/sigh_co_matic → u/Educational_Agency48]

Yes. Words hurt their feelings. How emotional and fickle men are.

[u/Educational_Agency48 → u/sigh_co_matic]

Don't blame us. It started with y'all. You can dish it out but can't take it in return. How miserable is it to despise half the population?

[u/sigh_co_matic → u/Educational_Agency48]

Started with "y'all"? Dish what out? Your comment doesn't make sense.

Grown men respecting basic personal space shouldn't be an ask. If this wasn't so common, manspreading wouldn't even be in our vernacular.

[u/Educational_Agency48 → u/sigh_co_matic]

Ok I may have misinterpreted your definition. Yes legs over the (I'm not sure of the word) seat edge I guess? Yeah that's not good. I have heard the term used to describe men just sitting with their legs uncrossed. So in this instance if u weren't using it in that way I apologize. I was wrong.

[u/metdear → u/[deleted]]

Oh no, however will they cope.

And you wonder why women don't want to ask the polite question.
