Uh-oh! The “Seat Assaulter”: guilty as charged. I find, especially when the plane is flying somewhat inclined (I don’t know the proper terminology – pointing uphill), so that gravity is working very much against you, and as I’ve gotten older, heavier, and less in shape (she hangs head in embarassment), that I literally cannot rise to my feet on the airplane, unless I grab onto something and haul myself up. If it’s a long flight, and I need to visit the ladies’, I have sometimes out of desperation grabbed the seat in front of me to get up.
I suppose the thing to do (other than a pre-flight diet and exercise program!) would be to speak with the passenger in the seat in front of me, and beg their kind indulgence for the infraction I am reluctantly about to commit, for which I beg their pardon most profusely?
Thank you for your comment. I think what everyone could learn from what you’ve shared is that we all, myself included, should always be prepared to exercise some compassion and understanding. In your case, how could anyone be cross with you when you say excuse me and offer an apology. I know I couldn’t
Thank you, Sky Steward. Yes, you’re right: an “excuse me” and a smile or a word or two of explanation can go a long way toward helping someone to be understanding of another’s etiquette infraction. I mean, “Jetiquette”
