Plane etiquette

[Anonymous]

Of course most people on this thread are daytime domestic flight recliners. Did we expect DCUM to be anything other than inconsiderate?

If you hate reclining, go book in business class. Otherwise, shut your whiny pie holes. You pay for coach, you get coach. Boo hoo.

You sound like a typical recliner.

If you're clogging a lane to cut in line, and call it a "zipper merge" to justify it, your a$$holery checks out.

Zipper merges are for when lanes end. They're not for clogging a thru-lane, so you can jump ahead of the exit lane.

But you recline, so selfishness is your MO.

That really says it all.

I mean, do you really care about the person in front of you? Do you care about anyone on the plane whom you don't know? Be honest, now.

I try to be considerate of everyone. But if someone is inconsiderate to me, and demonstrates that they don;t care at all about me, I feel no obligation, or inclination, to maintain that stance. In that case, no, I don't care if they get jostled about a bit.

Not reading 8 pages of this, but let me ask the obvious question:

Did anyone think of asking the person behind you before you recline?

Do you really care about anyone else in society? Be honest now.

I asked first.

This is so weird.

Not weird. You're asking people to prioritize strangers' comfort over their own. Most people are not going to do that.

It's not that person's decision to make.

Why would I ask to do something that is normal, expected and allowed? Do you ask permission to buy groceries or get dressed in the morning? How do you survive without asking permission to live your life?

But see, I don't think reclining is inconsiderate. That's the difference. Reasonable minds can differ on this.

Idiot who shouldn't have a driver's license. If there are two lanes, the most efficient way for traffic to flow is to use both of them, then take turns merging like a zipper when the bottle neck approaches.

Idiot can't understand zipper merging. No wonder you get irrationally angry at reclining. You're so dumb you couldn't pour piss from a boot.

Except most people find it inconsiderate and consequently don't recline.

Why? I don't need your permission to use a feature of the plane I paid for. You can recline too. NBD.
