A plane passenger has been knocked down after invading a fellow traveler’s personal space by ‘shamelessly’ spreading his legs.
An unnamed woman flying United Airlines took to Reddit to fire the man.
She shared an image of his legs touching hers in a thread captioned Am I overreacting?.
The frequent flyer – who was sitting in the middle seat – unleashed an angry tirade on the discussion forum about inconsiderate passengers.
The shocking image showed her legs being crushed by the man sitting to her left.
The post was captioned: “Am I overreacting – personal space violators on airplanes?”
She captioned the image: “I always sit next to people who shamelessly spread themselves in my bubble.
‘He’s not tall and has long legs. He immediately claimed the armrest by elbowing my side. Seriously, this happens 75 percent of the time I sit in the middle seat.”

“I’m going to have to change some things 100 percent gracefully, if you know what I mean, and adjust so that my knees don’t dig into the seat but can stay completely in my area.
“That guy is one hundred percent a creep.”
Another user added: ‘Tell them to give you space.
“If they don’t comply, call a flight attendant.”
Someone else wrote: ‘No, that’s so weird, surely he knows he’s touching you and this isn’t right?
“Men are wild with their legs spread, I hate this for you!”
