Guys, to be clear the aisle was open and I was slowly walking forwards. If there had been people in front of me, I would have nicely asked if I could get by and use the bathroom. If the guy who didn't want me to pass had just gotten into the aisle in front of me that would have been fine, too, and I would have asked him if I could get by to get to the bathroom. We are talking about walking five rows down a fairly empty aisle.
Let's pretend it's a line in a store and somebody is walking by the line to get to the bathroom or to the service desk or something, and somebody in the line thinks they are cutting and full on bodychecks them, and remains leaning into them. Psycho behavior, which probably involve a call to the police.
My only point here is that just because it's an airplane is not an excuse to act like this. Yes, we all fly a lot. Yes, we think a lot of people are jerkoffs. But still no reason to get physical with people. Just take a deep breathe and move on.
