I heard about this on my morning ride. I thought it was pretty funny that she tossed water on him.

Pretty sure that's not entirely true. That's why I put the term "reasonable" there.

We have those in DC too. They do not recline. I rode that thing my 1st year here

I wish they'd remove the recline function in coach for domestic flights.
Yep. They're not very functional and I'm always amazed by the people who just slam their seats back as far as they go, with zero awareness of people behind them.

I was on a flight the other day and just after takeoff a guy went to recline his seat and the guy behind him asked him not to. His reason was "I'm 6'4" and my knees are already hitting the seat".

People from br don't understand and make fun of it but it's really a great option as opposed to sitting in traffic for over an hour
The seats recline but it's like on an airplane, so minimal that it doesn't seem worth it to inconvenience the person behind you

it is, but it's rarely enforced because of the nature of the business, plus throwing someone off of the airplane is just getting bounced, the person(crew member) that wants to make the charge has to get off the plane and go make a statement, and all of the accompanying BS, they usually don't know this, and it usually costs them $ to do so, because they flight will continue without them

I tend just to ignore the assholes. Brandon Bass was seated right behind me on Friday heading back to BTR...I politely kept my seat upright

I was traveling from a softball tournament with a friend years ago, 6'9", member of the LA BB HoF, we were on SW, and the guy in front of him tried to put the seat back but it wouldn't budge, he was jammed in there

Eh. The seat reclines for a reason.
There are rows on the airplane for which the row in front does not recline, so if you're that hellbent on not having one reclined in front of you...chose those rows.

they're also not made for 450lb. fat asses, I have noticed that the in new coach, yech, I hate that word, seats, the butt portion moves forward as the seat reclines, I guess in an attempt to minimize the intrusion

What reason? I mean, minor comfort improvement vs. minor annoyance seems to be a wash. I don't see people do it all that much, I'm just not sure there is really a need for it from Atlanta to DC.
I think part of the reason I don't like it is because to remedy it, you've got to do it to someone else, and I don't want to be the next link in the a-hole chain.

the real problem are the people that feel the need to recline their fat heads an extra 3" at the expense of someone's leg room so they can try to feel pampered while riding in lolcoach. you're not special; put your seat up.
and yes it's trashy.

They cannot tell me to jump out of the airplane or give me a felony... There are boundaries to what they can make me do... That is my only point.
Also if I am in coach I am on the exit row where the seats in front of me don't recline

I'd venture to say I recline my seat maybe 1 out of 10 times on a flight of under 90 minutes...but I don't do so because "I'm special" or to "feel pampered" it's usually because it's an early or late flight and I'm trying to catch a bit of rest.
