Long-haul flights can already be tiring, but one father and his teenage daughter had their patience tested even further when a young passenger seated behind them continuously kicked the girl’s seat. The father initially addressed the issue calmly, politely requesting that the child stop. While the kicking paused briefly, it soon resumed, with the child’s parents appearing unconcerned.
Realizing that polite words were not enough, the father chose a subtle yet effective way to make his point. He fully reclined his seat, which inconvenienced the child’s mother sitting directly behind him. When she complained and escalated the matter to a flight attendant, the crew confirmed that he was within his rights to keep his seat reclined. Suddenly, the kicking stopped for good.
