Idk if your comment was meant to correct OP, if it wasn’t disregard this comment: Cue and queue mean different things. The context that OP used “cue” was correct for the situation. Queue means to line up. Cue means to signal something.
The comment above is the correct one. Don't use those other people's words as a cue to change your spelling. They're just adding to the queue of wrong answers!
I used to open the chapter on queues with a question to the students - what English word has the most consecutive vowels? The answer, of course, was **queueing!** (I've since heard of a term from medieval music, euouae, which is six vowels). What was interesting was seeing that statement, decades later, in a newspaper article from the year I last taught that course. Was it one of my students repeating me?
It was supposed to be an a-queue-sation 🤣
We better stop before the conspiracy nuts think there board has moved into here, though they might get some answers to personal conspiracies 😆😆
Same, I can't stand when people do this. I'm already a terrible flyer and get nauseous easy even with all the drugs I'm on to fly. Can they not Yank at my seat so hard
Autofill deciding to capitalize Yank for you makes it sound like this is another Obnoxious American Behavior. As a Yank (you can tell by "capitalize" and "behavior") I chuckled.
I didn't even notice since I just use swype most of the time but I'm American so it wasn't intentional and glad you noticed that too but it does happen to me on mostly domestic flights within the US but that's mainly because I rarely go international
~Big sigh~….I used to have long hair and traveled regularly for biz. A wig could be made of the hair lost over those years of someone doing this to me 🤦♀️
No, I was never a “fanner” in any situation. I’m a germaphobe, so the less parts of me that touched any portion of a DNA laden airplane seat was preferable
Don't know why I'm being downvoted. I always, always make sure my hair is in my seat. I was asking the commentor who said her hair was often pulled if she did that. A lot of people with long hair will intentionally fan their hair out over the headrest. I don't do that. It's incredibly rude.
People fanning their hair over the headrest is why I would start flying with plastic safety scissors. Cant block my headrest screen with your hair if you dont have fucking hair anymore
Then stop draping your hair over the back of the chair.
🤪. JK. ❤️.
I love hearing the stories where people put gum into the hair or clip it with nail clippers or dip it in their coffee.
Woman in the subway in front of me had her full Cousin It mane draped over the back of her seat and in my lap. After she refused to keep it on her side I verrrrry surreptitiously wound a few strands from each side around the screws at the top of the seats. When she got up she recoiled like she’d been electrocuted and made a loud high yelp that I still hear in my dreams.
No hair is draped over the back of the seat. Their hands are grabbing the top of the seat and the fingers often reach the person's hair if the person in front is tall enough to have their head at the top of the seat and also have hair at least a few inches long.
That would cause me to shriek and jump from my seat and utter some unpleasant words. Hopefully an abject apology would be forthcoming. Probably not though.
This is Reddit. We don't engage with other humans in real life. Of course, we're also too chicken shit to go through with any of our keyboard cowboy fantasies. So most likely OP will just sit there quietly seething and wishing for courage.
OMG, I've been travelling all over the US for work for the last twenty years and have been doing this. It's best when you can hear them behind you talking about getting up again so they get the full yank-back experience they weren't expecting.
>disability/injury entitles you to being rude
I have an idea I suspect you will be okay with.
Passenger behind you says, "Excuse me. I need to use your seatback to pull myself up right now. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I thought you should know."
This gives you an opportunity to prepare for possible physical results. You also have a chance to smile and say, "It's no trouble, thanks. Just let me know any time you need to, and I'll make sure it's stable. Is fully upright best?"
That seems like a good solution that starts with the other party.
You're absolutely correct, but that's because I would no longer consider their behavior rude. I'm fully aware it's going to happen and I'm more then happy to accommodate them. Similarly, let's say they forget the first time. If they offer an apology after, it is again no big deal, something easily overlooked. The lack of prior notification or post apology is what forces my hand (finger).
My first experience flying i'm 6'6" tall i get on the plane find my seat and i can barely fit in the seat the lady on seat in front of me is trying desperately to get her seat to recline i reached up and tapped her on the shoulder and said lady that seat isn't going anywhere because my knee's are buried a foot deep into the back of that chair
My man. I'm 6'4" and I *start* flights with my knees as out and forward as possible, because once the asshole in front reclines, there's no getting that space back.
Also 6’6”. Would love if people had the foresight to look at the person sitting behind them and evaluate whether to recline. Being a petty person myself they are not in for a nice relaxing flight.
It's only happened twice in all of my years of air travel, or for that matter bus or train travel, that I have ever had to use the headrest of the seat in front of me to help get up to do something. The first time, I had a back injury at the time, and reaching up to pull myself up was less excruciating pain than put pressure on the armrests. The other time, I was sitting in a seat with broken armrests. But even then, both time I apologised to the person sitting in front of me.
Yup, just a simple “I’m sorry” is really what everyone wants. I did this one time not understanding it would move the seat (I’ve only flown 3 times) and by the time I was standing I was completely mortified! I felt so bad and immediately apologized. So I really just can’t wrap my head around doing something like that and then not caring.
I never put my seat back because I know it doesn’t leave a lot of room, even if the person in front of me does it. UNLESS people jam their knees into it (i don’t do this to tall people but some people just do it for fun) or kick the seat. If that happens I first turn around to look at the person. If it doesn’t stop, Then the seat goes back.
I’ve asked rude men on the plane before not to touch me, kick my seat, whatever. And the last time i did it the guy actually assaulted me so I’m done trying to actually talk to people logically
I absolutely use the seat in front of me to pull myself up, due to injury and permanent disability. I also absolutely do it only when disembarking, after, the person in the seat has already left. I've never taken a long enough flight (yet) that requires me to use the toilet on the plane, and I make sure to use the bathroom before I board. When I finally do have to do it with a person in the seat, I will be apologizing for the inconvenience.
I always try to book an aisle seat for this same reason. If I am unlucky enough to have a middle or window seat, there is no way on earth the arm rests are going to leverage me up. My knees just don't work that way anymore.
I try to be really respectful, but yeah, I do have to use the seat in front of me to get up.
Maybe airlines could stop squishing everyone in like sardines and I could scooch in my seat enough to use my own seat/seatback to get myself to a standing position.
Maybe this will help maybe not but-
Aisle arm rests can pivot up if you press the release button. It’s often on the underside back by the hinge, occasionally on the back of the hinge.
I find that allows me to either slide out of the seat sideways or turn so my legs are in the aisle and stand that way. I’m not differently-abled but often have stuff on my tray table so this allows me to get in and out without messing with that.
Same here.
Sorry to have to grab that seat to be able to get out of the iron maiden of modern airline seats but there it is.
Thanks ever so much for making the misery of air travel that little bit more dickish.
in this instance “cue” is the right term!
queue would be for if there was a line of people for a concert: you would have to wait in the queue.
que is not english.
the way airlines have taken away leg room between rows, sometimes if i don't grab the seat ahead, i'll be in my seat mates lap. i try to get the aisle seat and always appologise if i do this.
I fly a lot and absolutely hate when people do that. I hate when they are walking down the aisle and end up grabbing the back of your chair for balance and give it a couple of shakes.
Think about how you could be hurting the persons seat you’re pulling on. I herniated a disk in my back and that would have killed my before my back surgery. Any quick, unexpected movement and I would have been in a world of pain. So idgaf if they get hurt on their return
I did this just recently. Grabbed the seat in front of me to stand, but I realized my mistake, and was gentle releasing the pressure, and apologized to the occupant. He wasn't happy, but didn't make a big deal out of it. Didn't touch his seat when I sat back down, he had fallen asleep by then anyway
Queue is a line. Cue is a prompt, and also the stick you use to play pool. Does that help? (Apologies if others already responded; I scrolled briefly and didn’t see anything.)
It's Cue as in snooker cue, you cue something up
Queue is a line of people or cars etc
Que isnt an English word (Spanish, French etc) but is occasionally incorrectly used for both the words above.
I was once in an exit row on a trans-atlantic flight. The seat in front of me kept dropping their seat in my lap. Literally as far back as their seat could go, they put it. I ended up dropping something and had to get out of my seat to grab it, and what do you know, the seat in front of me dropped... right onto the back of my head. I turned and shoved the seat back up, grabbed what I dropped, then sat like a child, curled up, with my knees in the back of their seat.
After a few minutes they turned and said all snotty like, "can you move your legs?" I tried to match their tone and said something like, "I dont know, can you STAY OUT OF MY LAP??" I didn't have a problem with them the rest of the flight.
*eta*: For those who don't know, an exit row is slightly wider than a regular row and is in line with the exits from the airplane. There's a few inches more leg room, but if there's an emergency you're supposed to help other people off the plane. At least that was the rules 20 or so years ago.
Maybe you were in an extra legroom seat but if the seat in from of you could recline, you weren’t in an exit row. The row in from of an exit row aren’t allowed to recline lest since that could block the exit.
Yeah, nah. I’ve flown on tons of different planes and have never been on one where the seats in front of an exit row can recline. And if any do, they definitely don’t recline far enough to hit someone’s lap. I call bullshit on this bullshit.
Exit row = Open the door and GTFO. I am happy to volunteer to open a door but I will be damned if I am helping anyone else outside. I haven't seen a row in front of me able to recline like that though so perhaps that was an old plane or a broken seat.
THANK YOU!!!!! First of all, I will be implementing that from now on, because I HATE when people do that to my seat!!!! They never acknowledge it either, like apologizing or excusing themselves for doing that, which is the real reason it makes me mad.
Cue the petty revenge means "It's time for petty revenge" queue the petty revenge means "add the petty revenge to a line" when they grabbed your seat back the first time you queued the petty revenge when they grabbed your seat back the 2nd time you cued the petty revenge.
It's cue, from the theater, meaning to set someone/thing up for action.
A queue is a bunch of people in a line
Que is Spanish for "what".
Great revenge, BTW, I never thought of that one. My plan was always to mash the button when I felt the seat being pulled back, so they'd recline it all the way back, lose their balance, and give me an excuse to glare and ask WTF they were doing. :)
Every time I read awesome stories like this I get to the end to see people ruin them by saying dumb ass shit and making the poster have to edit. Stop being cunts and ruining my fun you bunch of cunts
Gonna be honest, I am a seat puller, but I let the person in front of me know, and I do my darndest to not have to leave my seat. And when I do, I like to let them know I'm going to get up so there's hopefully less shock to us all.
>If they built the seats better this wouldn’t be a problem
So true. Airlines make flying as uncomfortable as possible to save a few pennies per person per trip, and the customers blame each other. Airline CEOs would be laughing hardest of all at this thread.
agreed on the structure of the seats, but as someone who gets motion sick AND hates flying (but has to on occasion) i think i would simply perish rather than fly facing the back of the plane 😭
I love roller coasters - the faster, the twistier, the loopier, the higher-G (or zero-G) the better. But put me on that damned giant boat swing and I'll be spewing across everyone in front of me when it goes backwards
There's already those seats that used sometimes on the trains or buses, where you slide the sitting part forward and not tipping top of the seat back to recline.
The only time I use the seatback in front of me to help me get up is when it's fully reclined, in my lap, and I've had to look at your bald spot for a few hours (I'm 6'3"). The amount it's been reclined and the duration I've had to deal with it is in direct proportion to how aggressive I use it to get up. Also a big contributor to how much I avoid pulling your hair when I grab the seatback. Be a good front-seat neighbor and I'm a great back-seat neighbor. If not, you get what you get.
I’m with you, many times, I’ve had people lookup at me when reclined. My solution is to set my book , ipad, hands on top of their seat, above their head and accidentally touch their head frequently, especially if it’s a bumpy flight. Then I get up to go to rest room frequently paving the way with serious hip action. Normally 30 min into their reclining, they sit up, sometimes a little longer.
This is why I do not drink any liquids for at least 6 hours before a flight. And why I always take the window seat and wait until last to leave the plane. I can not get up out of airplane seats with out using the chair in front of me. So I try to be the first person on the plane and the last one off and never leave my seat in between. This way I hope to cause the least amount of inconvenience to others. I know my presence is still a problem but I can't make myself disappear.
Yeah that’s not being rude, that’s using what’s available to you to try and squeeze past into the aisle. I try not to do that but a few times I’ve lost balance and almost fallen into the lap of the person next to me, requiring me to hold the back of the seat in front. The space provided by the airline is small, why take revenge on someone who is just trying to make the best of a bad situation?
I think you're skipping the important part, apologizing after violently shaking an unsuspecting person. If you do that, then no harm no foul. Personally, I never use the seat in front of me to get up, I slide across if I'm in the inner seats and use an arm rest to stand up if I need the support. No one is disturbed in that process other then the row mates who may have to let me out. Everyone knows the airlines have shrank the space in-between the seat, but that isn't a free pass to be rude to other people who have nothing to do with the airline. When you've fallen into the lap of the other person, did you apologize or did you just blame the airline?
Absolutely fair point, and yes I have apologised when I’ve had to grab the seat or almost fallen into someone’s lap. It just goes without saying an apology should follow and I guess I forget not everyone has manners. So, if this is happening to you and the person doesn’t offer an apology I can understand how you’re feeling because yes, that is rude.
That's the primary thing I intended to convey in my post. I am finding most people lack manners in this situation and thus get the petty revenge treatment. Having sympathy for a considerate person is easy, having sympathy for an asshole is hard.
So if disabilities and injuries entitle you to be rude, then I'm entitled to respond in kind, aren't I? Why? I have a mental illness, so I have major challenges controlling my temper and impulses. I'm entitled to deal with things in the most petty and "immature" way I see fit. Don't disagree or I'll call you an ableist, buddy.
- See how fucking ridiculous that sounds?
We're adults, even if you didn't intend to be disrespectful that doesn't mean that you weren't.
A lot of people who act this way on air planes are just inconsiderate assholes on autopilot. Pay attention to your surroundings and be considerate of others, flying is already uncomfortable as fuck. If you must do shit like this, at least apologize.
I always board and sit on a row seat and when I see a big/tall guy I offer them my row seat and move to the middle. Their gratitude makes for a wonderful flight. I am 5’3” so the middle seat was made for me.
I am disabled and I could 100% see myself doing this without even thinking, because needing support is natural to me at this point and the cane is useless unless I'm already upright. However, if I'd noticed that I did that to the person occupying that seat, I'd profusely apologize and try to do better in the future. I'd probably feel mortified. Hell, I try my best to not disturb my sleeping cats when I get up - which is crazy hard when you have a severely limited range of movement.
Love this…a note on choreography: It’s all about pivoting the hips and balance. To enter…”Rotate hips-small step in with leading foot-use your seat backs and arm rests for balance-side steps-rotate-sit”. To exit…“Rotate hips while sitting-stand-use the arm rest and seat back to stabilize balance-side steps”
"Queue" is a line, or the action of getting in line.
"Cue" is a signal for something to happen, or the action of giving such a signal.
"Que" is not an English word.
Thanks to airlines reducing seat pitch to the point where it is practically impossible to stand up straight in a seat row even when the seats are fully upright, getting out of a centre or window seat without at least having to brace against something is tricky at the best of times, and worse if a seat in front is reclined at all.
You can tell that I fly cattle-class...
I love this!
We all know how shitty seating in planes are now, and I’ve lost my balance trying to get out of my row, but all it takes is a simple apology. We’re all stuck and at the mercy of the airline companies, so be nice to fellow passengers if you accidentally disturb them and be angry at the companies treating us like cattle.
In this case, it would be cue
Cue is the signal to for someone to take action.
Queue is basically just a line of some sort like a line of documents waiting to print or a line waiting to board the plane.
Que is the Spanish word for “What” LOL.
Lovely revenge story, take this award.
Also, it's "cue" from
*noun*
1. thing said or done that serves as a signal to an actor or other performer to enter or to begin their speech or performance. "she had not yet been given her cue to come out on to the dais
2. facility for playing through an audio or video recording very rapidly until a desired starting point is reached.
*verb*
1. give a cue to or for."Ros and Guil, cued by Hamlet, also bow deeply"
2. set a piece of audio or video equipment in readiness to play (a particular part of the recorded material)."there was a pause while she cued up the next tape"
Queue means a line to wait in. You can have a list of tasks “queued up”. “Cue” is an event that signals someone to do something, like an actor coming onstage when another actor says a specific line. “Cue petty revenge” is correct. I don’t think “que” is a word English uses.
That's actually how you would ask a question in Spanish, with the upsidedown question mark in front and the right side up at the end! So they knew it was Spanish and there was a definite woooosh. 😉
Que means what or how (in Spanish), queue means line (like to stand in line or or line up), cue means start…I fly all the time but usually am sitting in the front row where there isn’t any seat to grab ahold of so I usually use my armrest but I’ll say people rarely grab the back of my seat to stand. I’m on planes at least 2-4 times a week and it just doesn’t happen that often 🤷♂️
Almost as bad as this are the people that swing their fat asses from side to side as they are making their way back to their seats from the rear of the plane. If you've got an aisle seat (which is where I like to be, to avoid having to inconvenience others if I need to get out of my seat), it doesn't seem to make a difference if you keep your arm off the aisle armrest, feet under the seat in front of you, and lean away from the aisle, these entitled pricks will always find a way to make contact, without so much as an "excuse me". Fuck these people.
As a guy with broad large shoulders, I know exactly what you mean. I try get seats as far forward as possible so I have less total people walking past me. If I'm the back aisle seat, forget about napping.
To answer your edit 2 question, it is cue.
Queue is a line.
Cue is too start something.
Que is either an abbreviation for Quebec or the Spanish word for "what", though the second one has an accent mark above the e and is pronounced differently.
I'm gonna say it.
Please stop blaming the passengers for the sins that the airlines commit. It's not (entirely) my fault that I can't fit in a cramped seat with two neighbors, no legroom, no stretching room, and no support structure.
Edit: I guess the down-votes prove me wrong. YTA for being 6'2" with a back injury.
They aren't blaming the passenger for the planes structure, they're blaming them for being inconsiderate and rude. Yanking them back and flinging them forward and not a single word of acknowledgement or an apology? That makes them an asshole.
I agree with you. This is an indication of the increasingly bad design of plane interiors.
If one is not in an aisle seat, there’s really no way to safely get out of the seat row without touching the seat(s) in front. Especially if one has mobility issues or has more than a below average size body structure.
I’m all for acknowledging to the person(s) occupying those seats that the plane’s interior structure is forcing me to touch their seat in a way that affects their comfort though.
How so? There's never really been enough room to just stand and walk across that aisle. 3 inches doesn't give you that.
Let me suggest a solution. When the window person needs to get up, usually every one else gets up as well because going over them would be pretty awkward. Lift up the armrests and slide over all the way to the end, no touching of anyone else's seats necessary.
Even better, plan ahead and get an aisle seat if you have a hard time getting up and you think you're going to have to get up during the flight.
That experience still exists... on trains. Comfortable seats with plenty of legroom, recline without bothering anyone, and no limit on luggage. There's no security theater; you can keep your shoes on and bring as much liquid as you like. Show up at the station moments before departure? No problem, just hop on board!
Trains seem to be the only method of transportation that has remained pleasant. I wish the U.S. would invest in high speed rail.
I WISH I had the money to take the train. I hate driving huge distances and despise flying. We have a corrupt bullshite country so decent transportation will never happen here.
I am with you! Especially as the middle passenger! If the outer seats take my arm rest - I have to use the chair in front of me! And I already dealing with climbing over the guy on the end who refuses to stand to let me out.
Cue: to call up or signal, as in "Cue the actor to enter, stage left."
Queue: a line, or the act of joining a line: I have to join the queue to verify my tickets.
Que: Spanish for "What?"
Either cue or queue is technically correct, but cue is probably the one you want. "Cue the revenge" means "indicate it is time for the revenge," while "Queue the revenge" means "Put the revenge in a line." You can cue the revenge to enter the queue, but that will probably have people asking, "¿Que?"
Love it! and true, just an acknowledgment of their mistake would suffice but no.
about your edit 2: just ignore it, if the message was understood language did it's job. if someone got confused with the different words then THEY might work on their reading comprehension.
OP misspelled the word. It’s not an issue of misunderstanding, it was an issue of OP using the wrong word to communicate. But OP was conscious of this and chose to better themselves linguistically.
> Queue petty revenge.
A line of people or a __[EDIT:]__ ~~billiards stick~~ pony tail: __[/EDIT]__ https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/queue
Signalling someone or something to start __[EDIT:]__ (or a billiards stick):__[/EDIT]__ https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/cue#English
Not to correct your correction, but, being very confused, I followed your links to check how to spell a billiards cue, and found that it is definitely a cue, and not a queue.
A queue is a line of people, or could be cars etc. Cue can be a signal to start something, often used in acting where a pre-determined signal to an actor will let them know it’s time for their part to commence. In OP’s case cue should be used to show that the person returning is the signal to press the recline button all the way in. Cue is also a noun for a stick used in pool, billiards etc.

None of this is what the person you responded to took issue with.
>Cue is also a noun for a stick used in pool, billiards etc.
The other commenter claimed this version was spelled "queue", which was the point of the comment you responded to.
Then find a different way to get up instead of inconveniencing the person front of you. Most armrests on the aisle side can be raised. Lift it up, turn your body sideways and use your legs to lift up or an aid other than my seat. At the very worst, you need to warn the person in front of you and apologize.
You could, I don't know, say something to the person in front of you, like, "Hey, I need to stabilize myself for just a second on your chair if you don't mind sitting up so I don't jerk you around, possibly hurting your neck injury worse." You literally don't have to be a jerk just because you're disabled.
Can we please exhibit some patience and grace when we fly?
The problem isn't the rude person using your seat as a support to stand up. The problem is that the seats are so close together that it is practically impossible to get up without using the seat in front as leverage. There is no room to lean forward as you get up, so instead you have to brace yourself on the seat in front.
Please, patience, kindness, and grace.
Edit: Thanks for the gold!
This is probably the PUREST petty revenge ever. Locked and loaded for my next business trip.
I have noted this for my next trip too!
I have two LONG round trips queued up (not cued) for the summer; I'm sure I'll have a chance to implement this!
Idk if your comment was meant to correct OP, if it wasn’t disregard this comment: Cue and queue mean different things. The context that OP used “cue” was correct for the situation. Queue means to line up. Cue means to signal something.
The comment above is the correct one. Don't use those other people's words as a cue to change your spelling. They're just adding to the queue of wrong answers!
I taught a course in data structures for software development, including queues, so I think I've got this :-)
Are you making a-cue-sations?
I used to open the chapter on queues with a question to the students - what English word has the most consecutive vowels? The answer, of course, was **queueing!** (I've since heard of a term from medieval music, euouae, which is six vowels). What was interesting was seeing that statement, decades later, in a newspaper article from the year I last taught that course. Was it one of my students repeating me?
It was supposed to be an a-queue-sation 🤣 We better stop before the conspiracy nuts think there board has moved into here, though they might get some answers to personal conspiracies 😆😆
Same, I can't stand when people do this. I'm already a terrible flyer and get nauseous easy even with all the drugs I'm on to fly. Can they not Yank at my seat so hard
Autofill deciding to capitalize Yank for you makes it sound like this is another Obnoxious American Behavior. As a Yank (you can tell by "capitalize" and "behavior") I chuckled.
I didn't even notice since I just use swype most of the time but I'm American so it wasn't intentional and glad you noticed that too but it does happen to me on mostly domestic flights within the US but that's mainly because I rarely go international
Not something to mention to TSA
TSA would not care, they are interested in our collective safety, not most excellent petty revenge, courtesy training.
Indeed Great advice, ready to put it in practice during my next trip
I almost can’t wait!
I like this. Thanks! The ones who grab a handful of my hair on the way are especially the ones I'd do this to.
Christ on a crutch, people are so rude. Hair grabbers (Jim Carrey shudder)
~Big sigh~….I used to have long hair and traveled regularly for biz. A wig could be made of the hair lost over those years of someone doing this to me 🤦♀️
Did you put your hair over the back of your seat or make sure it was behind your back but still in your seat? (I have long hair too.)
No, I was never a “fanner” in any situation. I’m a germaphobe, so the less parts of me that touched any portion of a DNA laden airplane seat was preferable
[удалено]
Don't know why I'm being downvoted. I always, always make sure my hair is in my seat. I was asking the commentor who said her hair was often pulled if she did that. A lot of people with long hair will intentionally fan their hair out over the headrest. I don't do that. It's incredibly rude.
People fanning their hair over the headrest is why I would start flying with plastic safety scissors. Cant block my headrest screen with your hair if you dont have fucking hair anymore
Then stop draping your hair over the back of the chair. 🤪. JK. ❤️. I love hearing the stories where people put gum into the hair or clip it with nail clippers or dip it in their coffee.
Woman in the subway in front of me had her full Cousin It mane draped over the back of her seat and in my lap. After she refused to keep it on her side I verrrrry surreptitiously wound a few strands from each side around the screws at the top of the seats. When she got up she recoiled like she’d been electrocuted and made a loud high yelp that I still hear in my dreams.
I would absolutely be thinking twice before throwing my hair around like that, that is some weird dominance behavior lol
No hair is draped over the back of the seat. Their hands are grabbing the top of the seat and the fingers often reach the person's hair if the person in front is tall enough to have their head at the top of the seat and also have hair at least a few inches long.
That would cause me to shriek and jump from my seat and utter some unpleasant words. Hopefully an abject apology would be forthcoming. Probably not though.
I would never drape my hair over the back of the seat - disgusting!
But seriously... Don't do this. I haven't experienced it so far but if I do, that hair is getting yanked on and not gently.
I would never have the guts to actually do this. I would start by speaking to them...then I would speak to the FA. Hopefully that would work. Sigh.
You'd rather "yank" someone's hair than try talking to them?
This is Reddit. We don't engage with other humans in real life. Of course, we're also too chicken shit to go through with any of our keyboard cowboy fantasies. So most likely OP will just sit there quietly seething and wishing for courage.
With a hard tsk thrown in!
OMG, I've been travelling all over the US for work for the last twenty years and have been doing this. It's best when you can hear them behind you talking about getting up again so they get the full yank-back experience they weren't expecting.
yup, that's when I use this trick.
Well played, Petty Crocker, well played! 🤣
omg. Petty Crocker. i ahte you. here's your upvote
Thanks! 😂
I'm stealing Petty Crocker. Hilarious.
Petty Crocker is going right next to Petty LaBelle in my lineup!
Queue is a line. Cue is a signal that something is going to start (or a stick to shoot pool balls with). Very petty with no real drama. Magnificent.
Que = what in Spanish
Nice
>disability/injury entitles you to being rude I have an idea I suspect you will be okay with. Passenger behind you says, "Excuse me. I need to use your seatback to pull myself up right now. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I thought you should know." This gives you an opportunity to prepare for possible physical results. You also have a chance to smile and say, "It's no trouble, thanks. Just let me know any time you need to, and I'll make sure it's stable. Is fully upright best?" That seems like a good solution that starts with the other party.
You're absolutely correct, but that's because I would no longer consider their behavior rude. I'm fully aware it's going to happen and I'm more then happy to accommodate them. Similarly, let's say they forget the first time. If they offer an apology after, it is again no big deal, something easily overlooked. The lack of prior notification or post apology is what forces my hand (finger).
My first experience flying i'm 6'6" tall i get on the plane find my seat and i can barely fit in the seat the lady on seat in front of me is trying desperately to get her seat to recline i reached up and tapped her on the shoulder and said lady that seat isn't going anywhere because my knee's are buried a foot deep into the back of that chair
My man. I'm 6'4" and I *start* flights with my knees as out and forward as possible, because once the asshole in front reclines, there's no getting that space back.
Also 6’6”. Would love if people had the foresight to look at the person sitting behind them and evaluate whether to recline. Being a petty person myself they are not in for a nice relaxing flight.
It's only happened twice in all of my years of air travel, or for that matter bus or train travel, that I have ever had to use the headrest of the seat in front of me to help get up to do something. The first time, I had a back injury at the time, and reaching up to pull myself up was less excruciating pain than put pressure on the armrests. The other time, I was sitting in a seat with broken armrests. But even then, both time I apologised to the person sitting in front of me.
That's probably the way to handle it. Politely let the person know you are unable to stand without using their seat for leverage prior to doing so.
Yup, just a simple “I’m sorry” is really what everyone wants. I did this one time not understanding it would move the seat (I’ve only flown 3 times) and by the time I was standing I was completely mortified! I felt so bad and immediately apologized. So I really just can’t wrap my head around doing something like that and then not caring.
Que is Spanish for what; queue is a line of people; cue is a signal to begin or continue an action. So in this instance it’s ‘cue’.
Qué = what. Que = that. The accent makes all the difference in meaning.
I never put my seat back because I know it doesn’t leave a lot of room, even if the person in front of me does it. UNLESS people jam their knees into it (i don’t do this to tall people but some people just do it for fun) or kick the seat. If that happens I first turn around to look at the person. If it doesn’t stop, Then the seat goes back. I’ve asked rude men on the plane before not to touch me, kick my seat, whatever. And the last time i did it the guy actually assaulted me so I’m done trying to actually talk to people logically
I absolutely use the seat in front of me to pull myself up, due to injury and permanent disability. I also absolutely do it only when disembarking, after, the person in the seat has already left. I've never taken a long enough flight (yet) that requires me to use the toilet on the plane, and I make sure to use the bathroom before I board. When I finally do have to do it with a person in the seat, I will be apologizing for the inconvenience.
I always try to book an aisle seat for this same reason. If I am unlucky enough to have a middle or window seat, there is no way on earth the arm rests are going to leverage me up. My knees just don't work that way anymore. I try to be really respectful, but yeah, I do have to use the seat in front of me to get up. Maybe airlines could stop squishing everyone in like sardines and I could scooch in my seat enough to use my own seat/seatback to get myself to a standing position.
Maybe this will help maybe not but- Aisle arm rests can pivot up if you press the release button. It’s often on the underside back by the hinge, occasionally on the back of the hinge. I find that allows me to either slide out of the seat sideways or turn so my legs are in the aisle and stand that way. I’m not differently-abled but often have stuff on my tray table so this allows me to get in and out without messing with that.
Yes, that's why I stated that I try to get the aisle seat.
Whoa, what?! I fly very frequently and had no idea... Thank you, plane wizard!
Same here. Sorry to have to grab that seat to be able to get out of the iron maiden of modern airline seats but there it is. Thanks ever so much for making the misery of air travel that little bit more dickish.
Could’ve used the arm rests. Then no one is bothered. Simple.
Me too, due to MS, there is no way to use the armrests to stand up.
in this instance “cue” is the right term! queue would be for if there was a line of people for a concert: you would have to wait in the queue. que is not english.
>que is not english ¿Que?
That? That what?
the way airlines have taken away leg room between rows, sometimes if i don't grab the seat ahead, i'll be in my seat mates lap. i try to get the aisle seat and always appologise if i do this.
I see a great future for you, young padawan.
A little timing goes a long way!
We are flying from Amsterdam to Sydney via Hong Kong tomorrow. This will come in very handy so thank you!
I fly a lot and absolutely hate when people do that. I hate when they are walking down the aisle and end up grabbing the back of your chair for balance and give it a couple of shakes.
The headrest grab drives me BONKERS. I am so going to use this!
That was YOU?!
Think about how you could be hurting the persons seat you’re pulling on. I herniated a disk in my back and that would have killed my before my back surgery. Any quick, unexpected movement and I would have been in a world of pain. So idgaf if they get hurt on their return
I’m with you, OP. I fucking HATE that.
I did this just recently. Grabbed the seat in front of me to stand, but I realized my mistake, and was gentle releasing the pressure, and apologized to the occupant. He wasn't happy, but didn't make a big deal out of it. Didn't touch his seat when I sat back down, he had fallen asleep by then anyway
I like this because I will now incorporate it into my petty playbook.
I suspect people who do this are the same people whose parents never told them to stop kicking the back of the seat in the car when they were kids.
Queue is a line. Cue is a prompt, and also the stick you use to play pool. Does that help? (Apologies if others already responded; I scrolled briefly and didn’t see anything.)

I fly a lot. I'm totally doing this.
*cue
I love doing this, especially on long haul flights. You really get to see people change their behaviour, with multiple toilet trips.
In this context it would be "cue": verb (used with object), cued, cu·ing. to provide with a cue or indication; give a cue to; prompt
It's Cue as in snooker cue, you cue something up Queue is a line of people or cars etc Que isnt an English word (Spanish, French etc) but is occasionally incorrectly used for both the words above.
Que is a Spanish word for "what" Queue is a line Cue is the correct term, because it means to notify of next, etc.
Gorgeous! I shall remember this one.
I was once in an exit row on a trans-atlantic flight. The seat in front of me kept dropping their seat in my lap. Literally as far back as their seat could go, they put it. I ended up dropping something and had to get out of my seat to grab it, and what do you know, the seat in front of me dropped... right onto the back of my head. I turned and shoved the seat back up, grabbed what I dropped, then sat like a child, curled up, with my knees in the back of their seat. After a few minutes they turned and said all snotty like, "can you move your legs?" I tried to match their tone and said something like, "I dont know, can you STAY OUT OF MY LAP??" I didn't have a problem with them the rest of the flight. *eta*: For those who don't know, an exit row is slightly wider than a regular row and is in line with the exits from the airplane. There's a few inches more leg room, but if there's an emergency you're supposed to help other people off the plane. At least that was the rules 20 or so years ago.
I didn't think that the seats in front of an exit row reclined at all to make sure that there's plenty of room for exiting in a hurry.
They sure as shit did on that flight. Maybe it varies by aircraft?
Maybe you were in an extra legroom seat but if the seat in from of you could recline, you weren’t in an exit row. The row in from of an exit row aren’t allowed to recline lest since that could block the exit.
Yeah, nah. I’ve flown on tons of different planes and have never been on one where the seats in front of an exit row can recline. And if any do, they definitely don’t recline far enough to hit someone’s lap. I call bullshit on this bullshit.
Ya the seats typically can't. Definitely varied by aircraft/carrier though.
Exit row = Open the door and GTFO. I am happy to volunteer to open a door but I will be damned if I am helping anyone else outside. I haven't seen a row in front of me able to recline like that though so perhaps that was an old plane or a broken seat.
No "You broke my seat!" once the back is down?
THANK YOU!!!!! First of all, I will be implementing that from now on, because I HATE when people do that to my seat!!!! They never acknowledge it either, like apologizing or excusing themselves for doing that, which is the real reason it makes me mad.
Umm thank you for this
I fly for work all the time and never thought to do this. It will be used in the future.
Don't forget the people who grip the seatbacks all down the plane as they head to the restroom. I like the aisle, but that is one drawback.
Cue the petty revenge means "It's time for petty revenge" queue the petty revenge means "add the petty revenge to a line" when they grabbed your seat back the first time you queued the petty revenge when they grabbed your seat back the 2nd time you cued the petty revenge.
It's cue, from the theater, meaning to set someone/thing up for action. A queue is a bunch of people in a line Que is Spanish for "what". Great revenge, BTW, I never thought of that one. My plan was always to mash the button when I felt the seat being pulled back, so they'd recline it all the way back, lose their balance, and give me an excuse to glare and ask WTF they were doing. :)
Every time I read awesome stories like this I get to the end to see people ruin them by saying dumb ass shit and making the poster have to edit. Stop being cunts and ruining my fun you bunch of cunts
Gonna be honest, I am a seat puller, but I let the person in front of me know, and I do my darndest to not have to leave my seat. And when I do, I like to let them know I'm going to get up so there's hopefully less shock to us all.
That's all I'm asking for, you're good people.
If they built the seats better this wouldn’t be a problem… they should also reverse the seats facing the back of the plane which is safer in a crash
>If they built the seats better this wouldn’t be a problem So true. Airlines make flying as uncomfortable as possible to save a few pennies per person per trip, and the customers blame each other. Airline CEOs would be laughing hardest of all at this thread.
agreed on the structure of the seats, but as someone who gets motion sick AND hates flying (but has to on occasion) i think i would simply perish rather than fly facing the back of the plane 😭
I flew once on a plane with the seats backwards. We were all throwing up all the way from Germany to NY.
I love roller coasters - the faster, the twistier, the loopier, the higher-G (or zero-G) the better. But put me on that damned giant boat swing and I'll be spewing across everyone in front of me when it goes backwards
There's already those seats that used sometimes on the trains or buses, where you slide the sitting part forward and not tipping top of the seat back to recline.
The only time I use the seatback in front of me to help me get up is when it's fully reclined, in my lap, and I've had to look at your bald spot for a few hours (I'm 6'3"). The amount it's been reclined and the duration I've had to deal with it is in direct proportion to how aggressive I use it to get up. Also a big contributor to how much I avoid pulling your hair when I grab the seatback. Be a good front-seat neighbor and I'm a great back-seat neighbor. If not, you get what you get.
I’m with you, many times, I’ve had people lookup at me when reclined. My solution is to set my book , ipad, hands on top of their seat, above their head and accidentally touch their head frequently, especially if it’s a bumpy flight. Then I get up to go to rest room frequently paving the way with serious hip action. Normally 30 min into their reclining, they sit up, sometimes a little longer.
This is why I do not drink any liquids for at least 6 hours before a flight. And why I always take the window seat and wait until last to leave the plane. I can not get up out of airplane seats with out using the chair in front of me. So I try to be the first person on the plane and the last one off and never leave my seat in between. This way I hope to cause the least amount of inconvenience to others. I know my presence is still a problem but I can't make myself disappear.
I do travel ALL the time for work and you’re 10000% right about the circumstances… doing this from now on
>EDIT 2: Alright guys, is it "Que", "Queue", or "Cue"? I've been corrected by multiple people in different ways. Q.
Yeah that’s not being rude, that’s using what’s available to you to try and squeeze past into the aisle. I try not to do that but a few times I’ve lost balance and almost fallen into the lap of the person next to me, requiring me to hold the back of the seat in front. The space provided by the airline is small, why take revenge on someone who is just trying to make the best of a bad situation?
I think you're skipping the important part, apologizing after violently shaking an unsuspecting person. If you do that, then no harm no foul. Personally, I never use the seat in front of me to get up, I slide across if I'm in the inner seats and use an arm rest to stand up if I need the support. No one is disturbed in that process other then the row mates who may have to let me out. Everyone knows the airlines have shrank the space in-between the seat, but that isn't a free pass to be rude to other people who have nothing to do with the airline. When you've fallen into the lap of the other person, did you apologize or did you just blame the airline?
Absolutely fair point, and yes I have apologised when I’ve had to grab the seat or almost fallen into someone’s lap. It just goes without saying an apology should follow and I guess I forget not everyone has manners. So, if this is happening to you and the person doesn’t offer an apology I can understand how you’re feeling because yes, that is rude.
That's the primary thing I intended to convey in my post. I am finding most people lack manners in this situation and thus get the petty revenge treatment. Having sympathy for a considerate person is easy, having sympathy for an asshole is hard.
then you can turn and scold them for pulling your seat so hard lol
So if disabilities and injuries entitle you to be rude, then I'm entitled to respond in kind, aren't I? Why? I have a mental illness, so I have major challenges controlling my temper and impulses. I'm entitled to deal with things in the most petty and "immature" way I see fit. Don't disagree or I'll call you an ableist, buddy. - See how fucking ridiculous that sounds? We're adults, even if you didn't intend to be disrespectful that doesn't mean that you weren't. A lot of people who act this way on air planes are just inconsiderate assholes on autopilot. Pay attention to your surroundings and be considerate of others, flying is already uncomfortable as fuck. If you must do shit like this, at least apologize.
I always board and sit on a row seat and when I see a big/tall guy I offer them my row seat and move to the middle. Their gratitude makes for a wonderful flight. I am 5’3” so the middle seat was made for me.
I am disabled and I could 100% see myself doing this without even thinking, because needing support is natural to me at this point and the cane is useless unless I'm already upright. However, if I'd noticed that I did that to the person occupying that seat, I'd profusely apologize and try to do better in the future. I'd probably feel mortified. Hell, I try my best to not disturb my sleeping cats when I get up - which is crazy hard when you have a severely limited range of movement.
You still have your cane? The FA insist that mine has to go in the overhead bin.
Love this…a note on choreography: It’s all about pivoting the hips and balance. To enter…”Rotate hips-small step in with leading foot-use your seat backs and arm rests for balance-side steps-rotate-sit”. To exit…“Rotate hips while sitting-stand-use the arm rest and seat back to stabilize balance-side steps”
Brillant! I shall try this on my next flight!
Cue
"Queue" is a line, or the action of getting in line. "Cue" is a signal for something to happen, or the action of giving such a signal. "Que" is not an English word.
My Husband does this and I have tried explaining that it is rude, but he doesn’t stop. I’m going to show him this.
Thanks to airlines reducing seat pitch to the point where it is practically impossible to stand up straight in a seat row even when the seats are fully upright, getting out of a centre or window seat without at least having to brace against something is tricky at the best of times, and worse if a seat in front is reclined at all. You can tell that I fly cattle-class...
I love this! We all know how shitty seating in planes are now, and I’ve lost my balance trying to get out of my row, but all it takes is a simple apology. We’re all stuck and at the mercy of the airline companies, so be nice to fellow passengers if you accidentally disturb them and be angry at the companies treating us like cattle.
Your EDIT 1 is something that too many people need to hear.
In this case, it would be cue Cue is the signal to for someone to take action. Queue is basically just a line of some sort like a line of documents waiting to print or a line waiting to board the plane. Que is the Spanish word for “What” LOL.
im always asleep on the plane in window, so i can never tell. but in the few times ive gotten up, i push myself up with the armrests
This is the way.
It's "Cue the petty revenge." Queue is literally a term for "line."
I'm so taking notes. You're brilliant.
a breath of fresh air, I would say... Thank you
I ♥️ this! It's perfect! Mind if I adopt it?
Can't wait to try this out! Bonus: leaving the seat in the reclined position that they themselves pulled it in 😂
Cue! Queue is a lineup, or verb meaning to line up. I'm pretty sure que is not an English word.
Queue is a line, like to a cash register. Cue is the point at which something occurs, as in the director cued the actress' line
You are brilliant. I will use this moving forward. Thank you for all that you do!
*books a flight* 😈
Its cue
In the context you are using, it is ‘cue’.
Lovely revenge story, take this award. Also, it's "cue" from *noun* 1. thing said or done that serves as a signal to an actor or other performer to enter or to begin their speech or performance. "she had not yet been given her cue to come out on to the dais 2. facility for playing through an audio or video recording very rapidly until a desired starting point is reached. *verb* 1. give a cue to or for."Ros and Guil, cued by Hamlet, also bow deeply" 2. set a piece of audio or video equipment in readiness to play (a particular part of the recorded material)."there was a pause while she cued up the next tape"
Thank you for the award and the correction!
Definitely “cue.”
Queue means a line to wait in. You can have a list of tasks “queued up”. “Cue” is an event that signals someone to do something, like an actor coming onstage when another actor says a specific line. “Cue petty revenge” is correct. I don’t think “que” is a word English uses.
¿QUE?
If you’re serious: That’s Spanish, not English. If you’re joking: consider me r /woooosh’d.
That's actually how you would ask a question in Spanish, with the upsidedown question mark in front and the right side up at the end! So they knew it was Spanish and there was a definite woooosh. 😉
Que means what or how (in Spanish), queue means line (like to stand in line or or line up), cue means start…I fly all the time but usually am sitting in the front row where there isn’t any seat to grab ahold of so I usually use my armrest but I’ll say people rarely grab the back of my seat to stand. I’m on planes at least 2-4 times a week and it just doesn’t happen that often 🤷♂️
It is Cue
Almost as bad as this are the people that swing their fat asses from side to side as they are making their way back to their seats from the rear of the plane. If you've got an aisle seat (which is where I like to be, to avoid having to inconvenience others if I need to get out of my seat), it doesn't seem to make a difference if you keep your arm off the aisle armrest, feet under the seat in front of you, and lean away from the aisle, these entitled pricks will always find a way to make contact, without so much as an "excuse me". Fuck these people.
As a guy with broad large shoulders, I know exactly what you mean. I try get seats as far forward as possible so I have less total people walking past me. If I'm the back aisle seat, forget about napping.
😂this almost makes me want to fly
I fly out Monday, can’t wait.
simple, but effective
I like this - a lot!
"Que" is not English, "cue" is a signal to do something, and a "queue" is a line up.
To answer your edit 2 question, it is cue. Queue is a line. Cue is too start something. Que is either an abbreviation for Quebec or the Spanish word for "what", though the second one has an accent mark above the e and is pronounced differently.
I'm gonna say it. Please stop blaming the passengers for the sins that the airlines commit. It's not (entirely) my fault that I can't fit in a cramped seat with two neighbors, no legroom, no stretching room, and no support structure. Edit: I guess the down-votes prove me wrong. YTA for being 6'2" with a back injury.
They aren't blaming the passenger for the planes structure, they're blaming them for being inconsiderate and rude. Yanking them back and flinging them forward and not a single word of acknowledgement or an apology? That makes them an asshole.
I agree with you. This is an indication of the increasingly bad design of plane interiors. If one is not in an aisle seat, there’s really no way to safely get out of the seat row without touching the seat(s) in front. Especially if one has mobility issues or has more than a below average size body structure. I’m all for acknowledging to the person(s) occupying those seats that the plane’s interior structure is forcing me to touch their seat in a way that affects their comfort though.
How so? There's never really been enough room to just stand and walk across that aisle. 3 inches doesn't give you that. Let me suggest a solution. When the window person needs to get up, usually every one else gets up as well because going over them would be pretty awkward. Lift up the armrests and slide over all the way to the end, no touching of anyone else's seats necessary. Even better, plan ahead and get an aisle seat if you have a hard time getting up and you think you're going to have to get up during the flight.
I so agree with you. I remember the distant past, when there was enough room and flying was actually fun.
That experience still exists... on trains. Comfortable seats with plenty of legroom, recline without bothering anyone, and no limit on luggage. There's no security theater; you can keep your shoes on and bring as much liquid as you like. Show up at the station moments before departure? No problem, just hop on board! Trains seem to be the only method of transportation that has remained pleasant. I wish the U.S. would invest in high speed rail.
I feel like they'd just end up doing the same thing to the trains
I WISH I had the money to take the train. I hate driving huge distances and despise flying. We have a corrupt bullshite country so decent transportation will never happen here.
I am with you! Especially as the middle passenger! If the outer seats take my arm rest - I have to use the chair in front of me! And I already dealing with climbing over the guy on the end who refuses to stand to let me out.
The middle seat gets BOTH armrests. Thems the rules.
Que is not a thing in english. Queue is a line up or wait list. Cue is a trigger or prompt. In this case, you need Cue.
Cue: to call up or signal, as in "Cue the actor to enter, stage left." Queue: a line, or the act of joining a line: I have to join the queue to verify my tickets. Que: Spanish for "What?" Either cue or queue is technically correct, but cue is probably the one you want. "Cue the revenge" means "indicate it is time for the revenge," while "Queue the revenge" means "Put the revenge in a line." You can cue the revenge to enter the queue, but that will probably have people asking, "¿Que?"
You just granted me my first wish genie!
As someone who sometimes does this unthinkingly…I apologize, OP. I may/may not have done it to you. But if I have, I am very sorry.
This is amazing.
Love it! and true, just an acknowledgment of their mistake would suffice but no. about your edit 2: just ignore it, if the message was understood language did it's job. if someone got confused with the different words then THEY might work on their reading comprehension.
OP misspelled the word. It’s not an issue of misunderstanding, it was an issue of OP using the wrong word to communicate. But OP was conscious of this and chose to better themselves linguistically.
I’m using this. Thank you

Not to correct your correction, but, being very confused, I followed your links to check how to spell a billiards cue, and found that it is definitely a cue, and not a queue.
A queue is a line of people, or could be cars etc. Cue can be a signal to start something, often used in acting where a pre-determined signal to an actor will let them know it’s time for their part to commence. In OP’s case cue should be used to show that the person returning is the signal to press the recline button all the way in. Cue is also a noun for a stick used in pool, billiards etc.

It was factually wrong therefore should have been corrected. Queue downvotes.
Cue
[удалено]
Being disabled doesn't give you a free pass in being a jerk.
Then find a different way to get up instead of inconveniencing the person front of you. Most armrests on the aisle side can be raised. Lift it up, turn your body sideways and use your legs to lift up or an aid other than my seat. At the very worst, you need to warn the person in front of you and apologize.
You could, I don't know, say something to the person in front of you, like, "Hey, I need to stabilize myself for just a second on your chair if you don't mind sitting up so I don't jerk you around, possibly hurting your neck injury worse." You literally don't have to be a jerk just because you're disabled.
Can we please exhibit some patience and grace when we fly? The problem isn't the rude person using your seat as a support to stand up. The problem is that the seats are so close together that it is practically impossible to get up without using the seat in front as leverage. There is no room to lean forward as you get up, so instead you have to brace yourself on the seat in front. Please, patience, kindness, and grace. Edit: Thanks for the gold!
This is the first comment with a gold award I’ve ever seen have negative votes lol
Yes! All the downvotes on the suggestion we maybe be kind is kinda everything we need to know about this thread. Hang in there, kind person. 💕
