A plane passenger decided to take action when the man sitting next to him behaved in a “creepy” way.

Plane etiquette is a divisive topic as, while most agree it’s important to be considerate and mindful of their fellow passengers, some people engage in less considerate action.

Whether they demand other people’s seats, choose to listen to loud music sans headphones, or engage in heated debates on whether reclining seats is right or wrong, being in such close quarters makes for some awkward situations.

One person was so fed up with their fellow passenger on a recent flight, they chose to make things “uncomfortable”. On Reddit, they explained: “The other day while flying, I chose to sit in the aisle seat of [the] exit row with two seats. My boarding number was a low B.

“Boarding was just about complete when one of the last passengers decided to [sit] next to me. I have no problem as he is allowed to choose any seat he wants.”

They continued: “Well this guy is about 6’5″ tall. And once he sits down, he decides he wants to spread his legs out into the area in front of my seat to try to get comfortable, resting his leg against mine (creepy). I was not having any of it so I said something and he moved. He looked uncomfortable the rest of the flight….sorry, not sorry.”

They said that if taller people “don’t want to be uncomfortable on the plane”, they should “check-in on time” so they’re able to have more seating options open to them.

Finishing their self-described “rant”, they added: “Finally, don’t expect people to give you extra space to make up for your lack of responsibility.”

The post resonated with others who’d experienced similar situations. One woman explained: “As a small woman, I have no sympathy for people that want to encroach upon my space. Keep your feet out of the space in front of me, and keep your arms and legs away from mine.

“Just because I’m not filling up the whole area of my seat doesn’t mean others can move in. When people start that garbage, I will use my bag to block them from doing it, and I’ve done the same with my briefcase on the seat next to me during a flight.”

Another agreed: “This!! I’m not large, so people in airplanes constantly expand into my space, including significant touching/pressure. It’s not ok. Everyone gets the same space, not yours and some of the next person’s. Especially not ok to throw in the creep/touch factor.”

A third commented: “Everything else aside, it’s not okay to splay your leg out so you’re touching thighs with the person next to you. This is transportation, not a date.”

And another said: “Don’t lean against me or touch me when I’m sitting next to you or you’re definitely getting some attitude and I’m saying something.”

But someone else added: “This post is very size-ist. 6’5” people have feelings too.”

This pretty part of a major country looks very similar to Portugal’s capital city but it is located thousands of miles away. Macao in China is known for its fascinating culture, diversity of experiences and unique blend of Chinese heritage and Portuguese influence. The area is home to modern influences, historic landmakers and bustling streets.

It is a popular spot for tourists to head to and has become a centre for sightseeing. Macao is a captivating destination that tourists are often in awe of when they visit.

If you plan to visit the area, one must-see place is the Historic Centre of Macao which is filled with fascinating streets to explore.

The UNESCO-listed historic centre is a vibrant area to enjoy the culture, try traditional foods and explore.

A visitor on Tripadvisor said: “Walking through the historic center of Macao gives a very strange feeling. You are in Asia, but you see several buildings that remind you a lot of Portugal.”

Another penned: “With its historic streets, residential, religious and public Portuguese and Chinese buildings, the historic centre of Macao provides a unique testimony to the meeting of aesthetic, cultural, architectural and technological influences from East and West.”

The area is well known for its casinos, the city has earned its reputation as a gambling powerhouse and is known as Asia’s casino capital. While you’re there, you should visit the Ruins of St. Paul’s which is considered to be Macao’s most famous landmark.

A visitor on Tripadvisor said: “This is probably the highlight of Macao. You cannot come to Macao and not come here. The Ruins of St. Paul’s refer to the façade of what was originally the Church of Mater Dei built in 1602-1640.”

Another penned: “The iconic landmark of Macau, one the most visited tourist attractions in the country.

“Definitely must visit the place but do explore more, learn the history, and also visit the small museum below. Since the ruins are always full of tourists, you should try to visit early in the morning.”

Macao is a one of a kind location with a unique blend of influences which you won’t find anywhere else.

British people could be denied entry into Spain unless they show a certain new document. It comes as the old green residency certificate will soon not be recognised by the EU’s new Entry Exit System (EES) as proof of residency.  

The British Embassy in Spain is now urging people to get a Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE) as soon as possible. This will be the only documentation accepted by Spanish authorities for British nationals who hope to stay in the country for a prolonged period of time.

The TIE documentation will prove your legal status as a foreigner in Spain, giving you the same rights as before the UK left the EU. It is only needed if you have a visa that allows you to stay in the country for longer than 6 months.

If you are just a tourist, and not planning on staying for six months or more, then you do not require the TIE card. The documentation is only necessary for non-EU citizens.

The new EES system is set to come into force later this year with a grace period whilst the systems are fully implemented. It will collect the travellers’ name, passport details and biometric data, including fingerprints and captured facial images, that are on the TIE card.

The British Embassy in Madrid, Spain, said: “Anyone attempting to enter Spain or another EU country with a green certificate will find that their document is not accepted as valid proof of residency, and they may be wrongly accused of overstaying in the EU. This could lead to them being denied entry and returned to the UK.”

His Majesty’s Ambassador to Spain, Sir Alex Ellis added: “We want British residents in Spain to be able to travel smoothly into this country. That’s why it’s really important that anyone with a Green Certificate gets a TIE. It can take a few months, so start the process now to ensure smooth travel once the EES comes into force later this year.”  

The European Council said the new system will allow border security to access the data and travel history of people. These details will be held on file for three years to ensure Brits don’t have to keep registering if they are making repeated visits to Spain.

The European Council said: “As a result, the EES will significantly reduce the likelihood of identity fraud and overstay, strengthening the security of the Schengen area.”
