Stupid IFE touchscreen games.
 

With the low quality pressure (in)sensitive touchscreens, I wonder who thought it'd be a bright idea to put games on the IFE without a controller.

What's the proper etiquette to address a man child who spends a good portion of the flight poking the back of your head while you're trying to take a nap?

Air Canada, for the love of God, if people don't bring their own entertainment onto the plane, don't enable them.

IFE games are functioning?!

Narrowbody J and O have controllers.

I guess you're in Y.

Seat 4C, YYZ to YUL. Doesn't matter though, none of the screens had controllers.

Ah yes, I forgot the narrow body J doesn't have them.

Yes, it's a bit lame.

In all seriousness, no matter where you're sitting, what would be an acceptable response? Talk to SD? Agressively and continuously recline/sit up? Gnash teeth silently?

Total FOTSG, can't tell a widebody from a narrowbody! :rolleyes:

The correct response really depends on your own personality. If it bothers you, mention to the passenger behind you.

1) Leap over the seat and beat the passenger senseless. But only if there is someone to take video.

2) Ask them to stop

3) Deal with it (aka the Canadian solution)

When tapping on the seat back screen, I usually use my hand to hold the seat in front of me then use my thumb to tap it lightly. This minimizes seat vibration.

As for how to deal with it, politely thank that person for the head massage with a smile, then ask that person if s/he wants to take a break. The bottom line is, most of the people are not bad person, they just don't realize the inconvenience they create.

On a side note: there is game on the narrow body IFE? I know the newer system has Sudoku and Chess and some other stuff. I have no idea the old system has them too.

I like numba one... engage.
