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.

Interesting that you arent going after the anti-recliners calling people selfish jerks, etc. Guess your prerogative to denigrate others is limited to the recliners?

I love how you made a leap from me doing something that is completely within my right, but you just don't like so it must be wrong, to me breaking the law and doing stuff that is clearly wrong ("breaking traffic laws, cutting in line, etc.). Perhaps come back to reality and we have a civil conversation instead of being hysterical.

The airline gives me a seat that reclines. Not sure why you think those two inches make you a morally superior person because you sound like a fool.

Because there are also rules that normal people follow in public spaces to make things run smoothly. Not the law, but clueless/rude to violate them.

A rule which you have arbitrarily made? You are hilarious.

Short-torso woman coming on to say exactly this. The headrests are made for people much taller than I am, so the only way to fit the seat to my body is to recline it. Vent your feelings at the airlines who have made things progressively more cattle car-esque, not at your fellow passengers.

I’ve flown a bunch recently and people aren’t reclining. That said, if the person in front of me reclines then I’m going to recline. It can just be a domino effect. I’m not going to keep upright if the person in front of me reclines.

Are you people roaming the aisles looking for recliners? How would you even know? I have no idea who is reclined aside from the people in the row ahead of me. I don't care if they do or don't but I couldn't tell you what the other 99% of the plane is doing.

Just because something is permitted does not mean it is the right thing to do.

For the love of god hit “click to show previous quotes” and read this entire thread. Who was the first person to be rude? It wasn’t the person you continue to admonish. It was another anti-recliner.

Of course it is. Take it up with the airlines if you don’t like it. I’m going to use every comfort feature afforded to me by that overpriced ticket.

There is no established policy on seat reclining, as evidenced by this thread. Just because you don’t do it doesn’t make it the moral standard.
Once again, talk about selfish. Only your opinion matters. Only yours is the right one.

According to you. Other people think differently. When you're in charge you can make the rules.

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.
