Dude in the middle seat leans over me and opens the window shade, totally blowing up my nap. How justified is my passive-aggressive rage?

Thanks for the support FB peeps! To update: I mentioned that I was trying to nap and he apologized - apparently he had almost never flown before and was very nervous since we hit turbulence. He opened the window because he thought he'd feel better looking outside but didn't ask since he didn't want to wake me. The encounter was good food for thought for me, and I have downgraded my anger to "ostensibly justified"

Fart silently towards the dude and lean on the actual shade if you can so the mother fucker can't touch it.

Not acceptable. I'd tell him clearly how he disturbed me and woke me from a nap. How can anyone open that shade when you have the window seat?

@kpmg2 - Looking out the window definately makes things better, if you can find the horizon.

Hi everyone. I’m new here but I think I’ll get a lot of really good feedback. I work in government procurement. I worked remote during the pandemic and now my manager cannot see his way to letting us work from home. Our department is the only one in the organization that is in the office all the time. It is really hurting morale and, personally, making me look for something different. What is everyone’s experience with old school management? Thank you!
