anyone to reach the seat in front of them, how do you go about politely telling someone (especially of the elderly) to stop pulling your seat, especially when there's no need to?
If someone if grabbing my seat for support repeatedly and really doesn't need to be (not disabled/elderly) I just hold in the recline button and listen to the results with amusement. Just another lil' trick I picked up here on FT.
If it were an elderly woman, obviously the ethics of employing this tactic are called into question. Perhaps tape a sign to your seat back that says "I'M SLEEPING - DON'T GRAB THIS SEAT"?
