Having just endured a sleepless night to ensure prompt arrival at an airport for a very early flight, I was allocated a seat on a flight in front of the toilets.
The joy of not being able to 'recline' my seat was torture. Sitting bolt upright for several hours on a flight is no pleasure. Why do airlines have seats here? Not only are you subjected to the pong of the toilet, you also have to put up with people queuing next to you whilst trying to sleep, eat or read etc.
Then to top it all, the person in front of me reclined their seat so that the head rest was 20cm away from my face. The person in front then had the audacity to call the steward to complain that my legs were pressing on their seat. Where am I supposed to put my legs, around my neck? Needless to say, the steward explained to the Australian female, that I could not recline my seat, due to having the toilet directly behind me. I explained to the steward that if she moved her seat up a few centimetres, problem solved.
