A WOMAN has been left furious after an airplane passenger reclined her seat. Simone, from the UK, took to social media to share her experience and it caused controversy online. 2 2 The young woman seemed to be making her way back from a holiday when the event took place. She filmed part of the altercation which took place on the flight. In the clip, she was sat down with her table having some of the in-flight meals and a drink. But she claims she was rudely interrupted by the passenger in front who decided to recline their chair. Simone told the other flyer: "This is an airplane. Please let me know where you recline on the airplane." "What part of this seat can you recline on?" she asked again. Like with most economy tickets, there was little leg room for anyone and Simone was not happy with the woman reclining into her already cramped space. In the comments, Simone claimed the passenger was also 'pushing hard and further into my leg.' "She basically wants to sit in my lap," she captioned the post. The video posted to her TikTok account @ msimonexo went viral with over 285k views and 4,900 likes. The deeply selfish holiday trend sweeping Europe's beaches this summer – and it's WORSE than sunbed hogging Plenty of people were quick to weigh in on the situation. Many branded the reclining passenger as 'selfish' while others said Simone should upgrade her ticket if she wants extra space. One person wrote: "I thought everyone knows that you shouldn't recline when people have their trays down." "Buy extra legroom next time," penned a third. Plane etiquette IF you're planning on going away any time soon, you'll need to pay attention to the following unwritten plane etiquette rules... RECLINING SEAT: Podcast host and etiquette expert Nick Leighton explained that you shouldn't recline your seat if the passenger behind you is working on their laptop. He said: "Nobody likes their laptop snapped in half." Before you recline your seat, it's best to check to see what the passenger behind you is doing. If they are on a laptop, ask before you move your seat back. FEET: A flight attendant told The Sun: "Your boarding card tells you a number and a letter, this will be the reserved seat that you have paid for. "Your feet, which are attached to your body, should do their best to reside within this space and stay far away from anyone else. "If you do insist on stretching out, please make sure your feet are covered up." CHAT: TV travel expert Samantha Brown explained that conversations from strangers aren't welcome, suggesting that others shouldn't expect a chat. She added: "I'm not a talker. Plane time is me time." Meanwhile a fourth said: "Anyone that reclines is selfish."
