Ummmmm. The seat reclines for a reason.

If you can’t handle the specified operation of coach seating, spend the money for first class.

Acting like a child will only make YOU the douche bag.

Isn’t this common knowledge that you just don’t do it anymore? It’s such Bad form.



The OP is right. It is bad etiquette and people who fly a lot know this. I only do it on night flights or if the person in front of me is doing it (in which case I am basically forced to recline, as well). At the very least, everyone should put their seats up during meal/drink service as a matter of basic etiquette.

Yea well a lot of planes still have ashtrays, too, Charles. Doesn't mean you can smoke. Things have changed -- the OP is right.

Only fat people complain about the people in front of them reclining their seat.



Sorry you're fat

Unwritten rules of flying

See point #10. Again, people who fly a lot know this stuff.

quote:

10. Don't recline in economy. No, listen to me, a-hole: Don't recline in economy. The amount of extra comfort you gain is nothing compared to the chain reaction of pain you have just set off behind you, in which every other passenger in your path is consigned to a modified form of the Trolley Problem, whereby they can either subject themselves and possibly the person next to them to hours of discomfort by doing nothing, or continue the chain reaction by reclining their own seat to gain a little room. If you have the world's most specific back problem and must sit at precisely a 110-degree angle, then turn around, ask the person behind you if this is OK, and give them time to arrange their laptop, knees, and soul for what you are about to inflict, you heartless life-ruiner who should have taken the bus.

You do realize that economy legroom has shrunk by nearly 33% over the past decade, right? You're wrong. Go sit back down.

And yet, I've never had a problem with others reclining their seat in front of me. Then again, I'm not over 280 lbs.

That's because you obviously don't fly very often.

Flew last month. Doubt the seats changed within that time frame.


But whatever you need to tell yourself, bro

Dude are you upvoting your own posts? How lame is that? Right up there with reclining your seat in economy, I'd say.

From your same article

quote:

8. The only acceptable place to fart on a plane is when you are walking through first class on the way to coach.


Yet you want us to take that as the plane etiquette bible?

Obviously a joke. Look up any similar article and you will see that there is an etiquette to reclining.
