First Post...Go Me...
This happend while Travelling on a flight from Heathrow to LA a few years back. We had asked the girl at checkin for the exta leg room seats, I'm 6ft, dad 6ft3 and brother 6ft7 so they were more than obliging...We got onto the plane and were very happy with the 4foot or so of leg room. Plane takes off and I stretch out, close my eyes and try and get to sleep...then I felt something brushing against my leg, looked up and some twat was walking inbetween the seats and tripping over my, and my families legs, and scowling at us as if we'd all just simultaniously Gambled and lost with fart roulette. This went on for a good 30mins with people constantly using the space infront of our seats as a walk way making it impossible to get any rest or even get comfortable as, as soon you stretch out some wanker comes along and knocks you waking you up. After about the 10th person did it my dad took a stan...the next person who tried would be stopped and told to fuck off...

Then the Canadian man turned up...he tried to get past my dads outstretched legs, eventually tapping him on the shoulder and asking politely for him to move, dad stood up and at the top of his voice shouted "NO, you go AROUND the seats" the canadian guy, shocked, and with a look on his face like some one had offer to lick his ring piece clean shouted back "you are the rudest man I have ever met", he was met with a hearty "fuck off" and went off to get the stewardess to complain...2mins later angry Canadian is back with the head stewardess and a smug "I've got someone to tell you whats what look" on his face. She then took a good 5mins loudly explaining to the guy that we were totally in the right, it was an emergency exit, it was clear that you wern't supposed to walk there, and would he kindly please be a good little boy and remain seated. He was so embarrassed that he slunk off to his seat without saying a word, and we were given a free (full sized) bottle of wine for being troubled...slept very well after that *hic*

Well done
These days, if you raise your voice or swear, they'd zip tie your hands together and drop into the nearest airport where the police will be waiting to take you away.

Good victory indeed and good first post.
One thing is bugging me however. If you were by the emergency exit, under what circumstance would people need to get past you anyway? Unless of course they were looking to jump out of the plane.

I think the seating was 2-4-2
We had the 4 seats in the middle of the plane. So they were using it to get from one side of the cabin to the other.

Ha!
Of course, that was puzzling me too. Guess who only goes on little ChavAir flights to the Continent these days and not TransAtlantic on a PROPER plane?

I'm totally with you on this
the only exception being when the twatty cabin crew have got a trolley blocking the aisle, and are insiting on serving everyone before they move over to let you past.

If it's a choice of waiting 20 minutes for that, or stepping over the people at the bulkheads feet, then sorry . . .
