[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uh oh.  I always recline my seat.  It doesn't bother me if someone else does, either.  I mean, that's what recliners are FOR, right?  Would I ask my neighbor to kindly turn off his reading light? Or turn on/off his air blower?  No...

Hm.  Y'all have me thinking.[/quote]

I was like you. I didn't understand why reclining would be rude, until someone pointed out to me that when the reclining function was originally designed, seats in an airplane had much more leg room. Today, they still recline but are closer together front-to-back, so whereas once upon a time, reclining wasn't impolite, now it is. And it's the damned airlines' fault, because now one has to count on one's fellow travelers being thoughtful when given the choice to potentially be more comfortable.

This is one of those things that people who are shorter or who have shorter legs generally have to be told, and taller people generally have to tell us. I am not SO short for a woman, but I find it's my husband and other male friends who are close to 6' or up are very, very uncomfortable with a seat reclined.[/quote]
