You are giddy at the thought of ruining somebody’s day. Who is the obnoxious one?

I have also had a lap child (3 kids) and can't ever remember it being an issue. We choose shorter flights.

I think this is a problem for tall and fat people. If you are really tall, you should upgrade to extra leg room or pay for business class. If you are fat, you should buy 2 seats instead of taking up part of my seat. This has happened to me before. This lady's leg was taking up half my leg space and her arm was totally in my seat. I wanted to switch seats but I sucked it up for an hour because it was a short flight.

When I had a squirmy toddler, I bought her a seat even though she wasn't 2 yet. It was not a problem when she was a handheld infant.

You are assuming everybody has the same economic means.

They seem to have gotten into a dynamic of both wanting to irritate the other.

Who knows what really happened. Maybe she reclined then unreclined her seat repeatedly or did who knows what. I think they both deserved each other

He was absolutely being passive aggressive. She had the right to recline and the FA did NOT have the right to tell her not to.

Is that defined in the airline passenger bill of rights?

She needs to obey the FA. Period.

I would have told the flight attendant I will put my seat back up when everyone on the plane is told to do so. Until then, it’s disparate treatment.

Why can’t you choose to be considerate?

Why do I have to be the unlucky one who can’t recline when everyone else on the plane is allowed to? Besides I fly SW where legroom is much better. My 6’4” DH is fine even if the person in front of him reclines.

“Me, me, me, me, me!”

Isn’t that what the guy behind her is saying?

It’s too bad she doesn’t have the moral character to be the better person, regardless of what other people are doing.

She’s standing up for herself and her rights. You want her to be a good little woman, shut up and do what she’s told.

No, recliners impose on the space of the people behind them. They are the aggressor. It’s as bad as pointing a finger in their face. All she has to do is decide that she won’t do that to someone else, regardless of what is “allowed.” Good character. It’s that simple.

I will recline if I want to. Just as I don't have any recourse if someone in front of me reclines.

I'm sorry if you're in the last row but if it's that important you should have figured it out earlier and paid extra for a better seat.

All of this. All seats are not created equal and better seats are priced accordingly. Angry dude literally has the 3rd worst seat on the plane (the middle and window next to him are worse IMO, at least he had an aisle.) He should have booked earlier and/or paid for a better seat assignment.

wow way to ruin for it everybody

Right. Everyone can thank the jerk lady for taking this stand on behalf of everyone else!

What good is the ability to recline if we don’t have the right to use it? So all of you no-recliners shouldn’t care if they take away the ability. I’ll keep flying SW.

You have the "right" to do all sorts of things but some situational awareness and consideration on your part would be nice. Privileges have a way of being taken away from everyone when only a handful abuse them.
