I’m not a big “don’t recline” person, but …

^^obnoxious. what makes you more special than everyone else? nobody has their seat reclined other than 1 or 2 very tall men, who I don’t begrudge.

What do you mean? Everyone has the option to recline, special has nothing to do with it

Look around you. Ask yourself why you are behaving differently than others and what entitles you to do that.

The price of my ticket and the seat options allow me to do that. I don't give a rat's ass what you or anyone else does.

There are so many people like you and you make life unnecessarily unpleasant. It's not about the reclining. It's this self-absorbed attitude. You also likely are a terrible driver, cut lines, think the rules don't apply to you, and yet complain loudly when you don't get your way. Honestly, you are a selfish jerk and you suck.

You may be the most un-self aware person on the planet. Someone is doing something completely within their rights and that makes you mad - who’s the selfish jerk? Since you’re so clueless I’ll answer that for you - you are the selfish jerk. And none too bright to boot.

I am GENUINELY a DP, and it is my guess that what made him mad was the "I don't give a rat's ass what you or anyone else does." comment. The OP's original comment, which I do not agree with, was fairly benign.

The "I don't give a rat's ass" was me and I'm not OP. That was in response to "look around you and make sure you're doing what everyone else is doing" instruction. So if everyone else decides to stand, I should do the same? How about if everyone else decides to jump up and down?

Do you read the comments you reply to? I agree it is your right to recline and no you need not do as others do, and said so several times. It's the "I don't give a rat's ass what you or anyone else does" that I find not only distasteful but lowers you to the position you object to. It's self-defeating. If there was not one single response to OP you'd have had the win you clearly require for some reason.

There was no reason to go "I don't give a rat's ass what you or anyone else does".

And before you respond to that I know you don't give a rats ass about that either. But maybe you should.

I wasn’t responding to you with that comment. Not even sure why you keep posting other than to read your own words.

Because I think people should be nicer and better here than you were being. You over-reacted 100%. And now you choose to insult me, that's fine, that is your prerogative as well. So I won't comment on this any more as you request. But my point has been made.

That’s your opinion. Me reclining or pointing out that I don’t care what anyone else does with their seats is neither rude nor an over-reaction. I would venture to say that telling me I’m somehow being rude for simply doing what I’m entitled to do is pretty rude. You have a nice day.

NP - There are lots and lots of things someone is "entitled to do" in daily life that unequivocally would be considered rude. I could pepper every conversation I have with obscenities, including when I am speaking to your children. That's rude, right? But I'm entitled to do it. I can park so close to someone else that it is impossible for them to get into their car, or pull their car from a parallel parking spot. As long as I'm legally parked, I'm entitled to do that - but it's rude. I could go on.

I don't think you have thought this through.

No, I don’t think you have. None of your examples make sense. There are obscene language laws and you are most certainly not entitled to spew obscenities at children. Parking so close to the other car is a parking violation and could result in a ticket. Both of those are very clearly “against the rules.” Me reclining my seat is not against any rules other than the ones made up in your head. So you might want to think again.

There are obscene language laws that have survived first amendment scrutiny? Really? I doubt it, but I am willing to be proven wrong.

Regardless, you really can't conjure up behavior that is both permitted and rude? Your barometer for rudeness is "that which is permitted by law?" That's kinda scary.

I am personally pro-reclining but trying to take the other side, I think a better analogy might be people smoking in public in places where it remains permitted such as outdoors at European cafes….annoying and unpleasant to some fellow patrons but clearly allowed and even facilitated by the restaurant (With the obvious caveat that to my knowledge no one has ever died or suffered major negative health effects from second hand reclining.)

Curious as to why she would be less entitled to recline than others. You don't know anything about what back problem she suffers from, or really, anything else about her.

She can recline all she wants, but it's still low class behavior.

and self righteous behavior is complaining about people doing something that she's entitled to that you don't like

The vast majority of people don't like it when someone in front of them reclines. But you obviously don't give a F about them. If you did, you wouldn't recline.

The vast majority of people just recline their seat when someone in front of them reclines. And don't stroke out over it.

+1 good grief. Entitlement seems to go both ways. People feel entitled to recline; other people feel entitled to not have the seat in front of them recline.

I really don’t.

And this is exactly what TrollOP intended to show and you guys bit the hook line and sinker.

And I assume they don't give an F about me either. It goes both ways and I'm good with that.

It's not like the anti-recliners care about others either. It doesnt matter if you have back issues, are ill, elderly, unable to sit comfortably in the seat. They are automatically "selfish jerks" .

OP is saying that if you are short, and you recline, you are a jerk. It's heightism, is what it is.

Yup. And what they don't get is that if you are short, the little head-rest-bump-part of the seat can hit at exactly the wrong spot. If I'm a short woman, and if I don't recline a little, I'll spend the entire flight with my head pushed forward. Occasionally seats allow you to adjust the head rest portion, and I do if that's an option, but in economy it usually isn't. So sorry tall dude, oyu're going to have to handle an inch less space in the air in front of you.

I recline. I am allowed to recline because that's what I paid for and it is part of the plane. I don't care if you don't like it. Take it up with the plane company and tell them to remove it if you don't want people to use it.

If you don't like it, then don't fly economy then. You aren't queen Elizabeth. You get what you pay for, so deal with it.

I will also not ask your permission to do it either.

This right here. Discussion over.
