Stop being a 'victim' and take control.

Is it sometimes annoying vis-a-vis watching TV? Sure. But the other pax has the right to take a look at the glaciers or the clouds or whatever happens to be passing below. So politely ask that the person put the shade down half-way as a compromise.

So much passive-aggressiveness on airplanes. It's so
What I can't figure out is why the OP's movie is more important than my "looking at the glaciers." I should do without so he can have what he wants? Meh.
