Moderator note: reminder that this is the Air Canada forum thread on badly behaving passengers. Bad behaviour on United, and UA's zoned boarding procedures, are off topic to this thread and the AC forum altogether.
Let's please get this back on topic.

Yet another moderator note... A large number of recent posts about bad behaviour in an MLL were moved to the appropriate thread - a reminder that this is about in-flight incidents. I've tried to tweak the thread title to make that clearer - I'm assuming that people would like to maintain the distinction between the in-flight and lounge threads rather than have one large thread about badly behaving passengers, but please let me know via PM/e-mail/etc if you feel that one merged hall of shame would be better.

AC 20 exit row priviledge
Do I have to accommodate an endless parade of fellow passengers who want to cut through my row short cutting to a shorter toilet line? I would never do this myself. Currently reclined with my feet up on the bulkhead defending my space.

Or run a this from your armrest to the bulkhead.
With the later option, if asked what the crime was, you could say you keep tripping & injuring the people who tried cutting across.

I saw a new strategy yesterday: an older woman with a cane placed it to span between the wall pocket and her seat and used it to support her bad leg. A couple of people still tried to step over it.

Saw an AC employee using the seat-back pocket for......... unintended purposes.
And then we wonder why the pockets are sometimes deformed and broken.

probably gives off the DYKWIA vibes as well given they feel entitled to do this.

If that is an AC employee, that should be at least a one-year suspension to flight privileges, with a hearing after that time to explain why they should be reinstated.
That's destruction of company property, and just a massive amount of entitlement.

But where was the FA/SD in all of this? Do they just ignore this crap?

I think when it's a co-worker, it's a lot harder to rat them out, especially if this piece of work is also part of in-flight. Would be pretty easy to find yourself ostracized for doing the right thing, because you should have each other's backs or whatever.
