This meme is brought to you by an entitled dumbass

As a 6’ person, standing up is the only way to immediately relieve the excruciating pain in my legs from being jammed into a tiny seat for 3 hours. I’ll let everyone in front of me go first, and help people get their bag out. Me standing doesn’t harm you at all. Deal with it.

Edit: quit telling me how it doesn’t hurt your legs or some shit. We are not the same

Why not stand up during the flight?

You say you stand up right away because you've been jammed into your seat for hours, so I'm wondering why you didn't stand up during the flight. Then you wouldn't be jammed in for hours...

I don’t know about op but I generally don’t stand during a flight despite the pain because I don’t want to be on everyone’s way. If you can’t get an aisle seat, getting up means making people in those seats get up. Aisle are too narrow to pass so if the flight attendants are out, you may need to edit their full routine. If you’re just standing there maybe you’re blocking someone beefing to use the bathroom.

Most importantly I don’t get up because trying to unfold myself from that torture device is a process. I can’t do it quickly. I can’t do it without leaning in something I can’t do it without sticking my butt out from being bent over under the bins. By the time I get into the aisle and get the kinks out do I can walk, the entire situation may have changed so now I’m blocking someone again

That sounds awful, I'm sorry you have to go through that. They have those extra leg room exit row seats, but they seem to allocate them at random instead of to tall people.
