[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how could people not know this is inconsiderate?  if you think it's within your rights to do it, that's your choice, but to deny that it's inconsiderate is just ridiculous.  just because the option is there doesn't make it right to take advantage of it.  i CAN talk loudly on my cell phone in a quiet restaurant.  i CAN put my baby's highchair in the aisle where it blocks everyone - i mean they GAVE me a highchair!  babies NEED highchairs!

just be considerate of your fellow humans, people.[/quote]

why stop there? it is inconsiderate to sit down on a bus.  sure, the seats are there as an option, but that doesn't make it right to take advantage of it.  if you sit, then someone else might not be able to.  it is also inconsiderate to park in a parking space.  sure, it's there, but that doesn't make it right to take advantage of it.  someone else might be looking for a parking space and you will prevent them from being able to use it.

your analogies are totally off by the way.  it's not about whether you CAN but whether the thing you are doing is indeed the WHOLE PURPOSE.  [/quote]

my whole point was to call out the PP who thinks it is inconsiderate on his/her ridiculous analogy.  the seats are meant to recline.  it is something we are paying for and the whole purpose of the thing (similar to a seat or a parking space).  different from talking loudly or putting a high chair in someone's way.  if you wanted to make a more proper analogy to the high chair, you would be arguing that, sure high chairs exist, but we shouldn't use them because they tend to annoy people walking by them, even if they are used as intended.[/quote]
