Any long haul flight. With thoughtless people who like to recline their seats in front with no consideration for people behind them.
Planes just aren't made for big blokes with long legs.
Of all the things to worry about when flying, not getting an aisle seat is my biggest fear. (Even if I then get my shins bruised by trolleys every 2 minutes.)

I understand your point fully: I'm 6'2": not giant, not small.
I did a long haul from UK to Australia using Air Korea. 24 hours in a plane designed for Koreans, not the tallest race in the world. Awful it was. Physically painful.
Never again. Quantas, where are you? (Or Singapore Air: great airline if you can find the money!)

Are you the guy always complaining when I try and get a little sleep ?
They wouldn't make it recline if it wasn't suppose to!

Yes. I dig my knee right in the center of their seat. There really is little other option, and I like to be a pain in the ass right back.
And I would love for the recline option to be removed from all cattle class air travel.

Originally posted by pradtfActually, the opera was very good, but I was in NYC in the winter for a week. We went to 15 performances (ballet, opera, theatre) in a little over a week, and the remainder of the time to fabulous restaurants, art galleries, and you name it. So when we sta down in a nice quiet theatre, listening to beautiful music, I had a habit of drifting off a bit. :-) It was the Barber of Seville.

i would personally find it very painful to pay to go to a show and fall asleep (not so bad if i didn't have to pay, mind you). but then, if i have time left on my parking meter, i find it necessary to wait around to get my full money's worth.
actually, i think there was a lesser known opera also by rossini that dealt more directly with the everpresent choices we must wrestle with regarding our day to day existence that may have sprung forth from the one you went to see. i believe it was called Barbarous or Civil. however, it never reached the same heights of popularity for some unknown reason - go figaro!
