HARD, at which point I began videoing him, and he resigned to this behavior.


She clearly states he changed the way he was hitting her seat once she started videoing

Y'all are crazy. She paid for a seat that can recline. She's allowed to recline it. A stranger doesn't have a right to dictate that. They can ask, but it is her right to decline if she wishes.

why not though? i'm still trying to understand why some put her in the wrong if she's doing something that's perfectly available to do.


There are a lot of things that are perfectly available for you to do that you don't, or shouldn't do, out of courtesy, social mores, etc.

And a c-unt move on her part. She was UNCOURTEOUS.

No one is saying she CANT do it. But it makes her a c-unt.





I’m not understanding how she is a c-unt? Slightly discourteous? Maybe but that’s it. Blame the airline. It’s her right and that is what the airline offers with her seat.

Seems a bit extreme to call her a c-unt because she reclined an airline seat

Always take lessons on courtesy from someone who calls women counts.

Yeah like trying to dictate if someone can or can’t recline in a seat they paid for.

I'm a courteous person. I don't put my seat back - as much because I can barely tell the difference when I do as when I don't, but yeah maybe courtesy plays a part in it.

As a courteous person I never feel like I'm ENTITLED to YOUR courtesy. If I get it I think that's nice. If I don't, maybe I think a little less of you (although, I try to give others the benefit of the doubt and think maybe there's a reason they are doing what they are doing), but that's about as far as it goes.

People who reach the point of thinking they are entitled to the courtesy of strangers and who think they have a right to act out (physically or any way otherwise) at those people for not getting it, are not discourteous, they're bitches.

Am I taking crazy pills here? The seats recline. People do it all the time. It is part of airline travel. The amount of recline is very small. Get the frick over it.

I rarely do. But really because I just don't sleep on planes. But its pretty rare for me to do so. I remember one time it was a 4 hour very late flight and I wanted to recline and the person behind me jammed there feet against it to stop me from doing so. Instead of making a scene I just didn't.

You can tell that by your upvote to downvote ratio in this thread. You're definitely on the right side of this.

....Even though they had an option to purchase extra leg room, but made a conscious decision to decline that option.

what does reclining have to do with legroom?

ETA - misread, never mind

I've never had a problem with someone in front of me reclining the seat, just wish when they do, they would go back slowly so I can reposition my long legs out of the way first.

You don't want people reclining their seats? Don't install reclining seats.

If I’m coming off an international flight jet-lagged and exhausted and I paid for a seat that reclines, I’m going to use it and go to sleep.

All of the virtue signaling idiots have no idea exactly what other people are going through.

People that recline their seats are the absolute worst. It's not debatable
