The FA is here mainly for your safety, but please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you enjoy your flight.

Just now, DL1343 LAX>DTW, this kid reclining in 5A during boarding was demonstrating the concept of “Manspreading” while Tweeting for us.

On a side note, I’ve noticed on the vast majority of flights the FAs are no longer telling F pax to put their seats upright during Takeoff and Landing. I’ve seen it happen once in my last 20 flights when there were visibly a number of reclined seats.

This very moment, on DL1343, there are clearly four F pax with seats fully reclined as we’re taxiing, including our young
Boyspreader.

To be clear, the FAs make the announcement, they just don’t instruct the pax to place their seat upright while doing their final walkthroughs.

Yeah, I haven’t put my phone into airplane mode yet.

Hopefully someone has a picture of you creeping on this poor kid.

I can take one if you like? And by kid, I’m guessing 30-ish, lest you think I’m stalking young’uns. Of course, I can crop it down to just the feet on the armrests of the seat in front of him if that’s less of an affront to your senses?

Just let me know. I’m here to help.

You can do whatever you wish. You clearly are very interested in what others are doing. Maybe just crawl right through that middle section and you can take a pic together?

This whole thread is dedicated to “Photographic Evidence” essentially of people on Delta flights putting their feet in places they don’t belong. It’s one photo of someone sitting right in front of me. Why try to force it into something it’s clearly not? It’s not as though I created a new thread, there are 3,000 posts here, many with very similar photos.

Plus it's very disgusting on multiple levels; feet on seat components, the spread legs, encroaching on neighbors' space both in front and next to him... entirely appropriate for this thread. Did any of the neighbors say anything?

You and I have a very different definition of disgusting.

Of course they don’t say anything. They just take pictures and post it on anonymous message boards. I hardly think this is “disgusting”. Maybe his friend/partner is sitting next to him. He also does not have his feet stretched out encroaching on the person in front of him. I don’t agree with this behavior, but I would not rank this as even in my top 100 list of disgusting things I have witnessed people do while in the public eye.

That kid has his shoes on, and he's just sort of propping up his feet. He's only encroaching slightly on the seat to his right, and really not since the seat in front of him is reclined. His knees are not into the other seat-space, so there's no manspreading.

My judgment is that this particular incident is unworthy of inclusion here. Fail.

So let’s say that persons father,mother,sister etc is in the same cabin and witnesses you taking a picture of their brother/son. I am pretty sure “creep” would be one of the first few words out of their mouth when telling that person about the person behind them taking pictures.
I am waiting on a new thread entitled “ I ended up in the hospital because I couldn’t mind my own business”. Haha

It's not clear to me how the person in that pic is taking up two seats. And those feet would have to be MUCH higher to be near "eye level" of another seated guest.
