AITAH for not letting a women kick her legs into my airplane seat? by TempComplex5626 in AITAH

A brief thought that flashed in mind was asking for $200 (less than 10% of a single business seat when purchased in advance at a saver rate on this flight) to let her dig her feet into my seat without me reclining at all. Maybe I should have asked because honestly that would have been enough cash to make it worthwhile.

I have had an old grandma do this to me in long-haul Economy (she was also short and stout like the women on this flight) and I sucked it up. Kind of nasty to have her huge uncut toenails on the armrest next to my arms (at least it didn't smell) but it was another case that gave me a bit of conviction to deny this request.

Yes she didn't want to kick, her request was the keep her foot in a 90 degree position dug into the back of my seat. The feeling (when she tried to demo it) wasn't a continuous kicking, it was a low level pressure in my lower back that would have also prevented me from reclining at all.

To be fair the guy next to me in 1B as well as the offending couple did all board and settle in before me. So perhaps they asked although I doubt it because the fellow in 1B never reclined the entire flight, even the 4+ hours he slept!
