Any good way of telling the passenger behind you to not use your seat to haul themselves up or to plonk themselves down?
Once is ok, but it’s not cool more than that

A lot of these types of issues could be solved by airlines treating people like human beings, and not like cattle.
As a matter fact, we should probably treat cattle better as well.

They keep making seats smaller, and the space between seats smaller. It makes it hard for able-bodied people to get around.

Omg if you get any good tips I’ll gladly take them. Hers one that’s not great, which I use when kids kick the back seat: I turn around haughtily and make a frustrated sound, and I try to make eye contact with the kid or the parent. That’s all. If it doesn’t stop I ask if they could please stop kicking the seat. I admit my husband hates when I do this and cringes when I take these actions but it is what is. All I can do is ask politely. I have never actually had anyone push back when I have done these things. Usually though, the first step enough.

I ask the parent if they would like to trade seats. Usually they get it. My SO cringes, too

I have a game I love to play at the airport. I find someone who has the most vague resemblance to someone famous and then insist they are that person.

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.
