A Reddit user detailed an uncomfortable experience on a flight where a male passenger invaded her personal space by pushing his feet against her calves and sticking his shoe underneath the seat. Despite pushing back, she expressed that it was her first experience with such intrusive behavior on a plane. The post sparked a discussion among commenters who shared similar instances, affirming the discomfort such actions cause to passengers and suggesting various ways to handle such situations, including confronting the person or alerting flight attendants.
"They decided halfway into the flight to start kicking/pushing on my calves with their feet/shoes. I could see at least half his shoe before I did the shove and I should have taken a pic, it was nuts..."
"DO NOT do this to the person in front of you. EVERYONE is uncomfortable- not just you. This was the first time I have ever encountered this."
"Kudos to you for pushing back. Guy sounds like he was raised in a barnyard," said one user in response to the original poster.
"When something similar happened to me I turned around and said, 'Will you please stop touching my body? I don't want a leg massage.' And luckily that was enough to put a lid on it for the rest of the flight."
