  1. We were on a plane coming back from Vancouver,BC .A guy seated in front of me kept on pushing his seat back.I asked if he could not do it so forcefully because I had a chronic knee problem.A few minutes later he pushed back much harder than previously.I screamed in pain Then he got out of his seat to go to the bathroom.His wife moved into his seat and pushed presumably as hard as she could into my knee.The Flight Attendants could not do anything and there were no empty seats on the plane.I spent the rest of the flight either with my legs in the aisle or standing.
