Interesting conundrum. TightSlot, what is the accepted procedure for dealing with such stubborn passengers?
Reminds me of a flight a few years ago. It turned out my seat recline mechanism had broken, so my seat was gradually reclining itself as I sat there. The imbecile of a man behind me immediately started kicking the back of my seat and using quite unnecessary language. Instead of politely pointing out what was going on (I had not noticed the movement as it was so slow), he just started reminding me that he was a denizen of the shallow end of the gene pool.
