The real problem is the airline who sold the same 6 inches of space to two people, and expect them to sort it out 2/14/2020 7:00:18 AM

is there something I'm missing? Dude is a prick and deserves the any shit he gets for it. Why is there hate on the lady? Airlines provide reclining seats. It's the passenger's preference to use or not. End of story. 2/14/2020 7:03:35 AM

Unless he didn't know his seat assignment in advance, he already knew his seat wouldn't recline and that he would have to suck it up. I've been in that situation before. BFD. Be an adult about it. 2/14/2020 8:10:29 AM

On a plane, I think you should realize everyone is at least moderately uncomfortable, and you should just deal with THAT and not try to make yourself more comfortable at someone else's expense. Seats should not even be able to recline. If someone does recline, I don't freak out about it, but I would generally not do it to someone else. 2/14/2020 5:42:17 PM

When I was flying to Poland, some asshole put his seat all the way back as soon as we took off. Then when we reached cruising altitude, he stood up and just wandered around the plane chatting with people.
After 15 mins, I pushed his seat forward myself. 2/27/2020 5:27:01 PM

As soon as the person in front of me does, yes. On long flights, definitely, I want some sleep. I try to be nice about it though. 3/7/2020 12:19:19 AM

On principle, everyone should be allowed to recline.
Unfortunately, airlines have made reclining a privilege, not a right.
Unless the seats change, no one has the "right" to recline. It is a privilege to be granted, either through paying extra for a different seat, or politely asking the person behind you.
You could even politely ask the flight attendants to help you find a seat in front of a tiny person.
So, until you (the royal you) DO something about the current state of air travel, your choices are be polite, be U-P-P-G-R-A-Y-E-D, or be shunned for being a cunt. 3/11/2020 10:17:06 AM

I don't which dinghy planes you fly on, but other than a couple of domestic US flights ever, I have only ever taken international flights on mostly non-US airlines. On such planes, every passenger is allowed to recline; why wouldn't they be? 3/11/2020 3:55:54 PM
