A man kept manspreading into my plane seat for hours—when he returned from the restroom, he shouted, “What the hell did you do?!”

What I have done about it.

Almost nothing and I am suspicious of all of it.

I wrote to the airline in the January. Not to complain — the airline were faultless and Kemi was faultless.

I wrote to say that a passenger in that row had not been offered anything and that I had not asked on her behalf, and that if there was any way of noting it I would like it noted.

That is a letter that does absolutely nothing. I know that. I wrote it anyway and they sent back something very pleasant.

And I have added one line to the story. Once. At a lunch in the April, I got to the end of it and said: “There was a girl on his other side, as well. She got left there.”

And four people made a noise and then somebody asked about the baby, and the conversation moved on inside about six seconds, and I let it.
