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.) |
+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. |
And I assume they don't give an F about me either. It goes both ways and I'm good with that. |
OP is saying that if you are short, and you recline, you are a jerk. It's heightism, is what it is. |
Oh no, not heightism! Whatever will be next? |
I know! But they sure do love to feel superior for absolutely no reason at all. |
No one, in the history of the world, has ever been as considerate as the anti-recliners, and no on ever will be. |
They really deserve a medal. |
I bet the whole plane applauds them upon landing! |
Yeah, all the people reclining now are ill and have serious back issues! |
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. |
They probably don’t even notice - they’re too busy applauding themselves. |
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. |
