This meme is brought to you by an entitled dumbass

As a 6’ person, standing up is the only way to immediately relieve the excruciating pain in my legs from being jammed into a tiny seat for 3 hours. I’ll let everyone in front of me go first, and help people get their bag out. Me standing doesn’t harm you at all. Deal with it.

Edit: quit telling me how it doesn’t hurt your legs or some shit. We are not the same

I'm 6'2" and I've never had a problem. Sure my knees almost touch the seat in front of me, but that's it.

Must be nice to be you and not me, unfortunately I’m not so lucky. 6’ is a generalization. Did you consider the possibility that we’ve flown on different airlines with varying seat sizes?

I am 6"4". I keep sitting even though my legs are pressed in the seat before me. Because everything is better than standing with my back hunched over like a crooked banana. Hurts my back like crazy

Also 6’4”, but I have knee problems as opposed to back problems so I’m in the standing up group. My dad has chronic back pain though, so I can totally see your point of view. I would which back problems on my worst enemy after seeing him suffer with it for decades.
