Recline my seat 100% of the time, every time. I paid for it. Get mad at the airline, not me.

Do your feet even touch the ground?

Reclining your seat on an airplane


Is pretty evil. It's simply making yourself more comfortable by directly taking that resource from the person behind you. It's a completely selfish act.

It's tough to work or use a computer, anyone over 6'2 probably has their knees pressed in, it's hard to get out of the seat, or grab anything from under the seat, etc.

I do this because it keeps my back from hurting. Not sure why sitting with that change in angle causes pain but it does.

My point is perhaps you being cramped had more to do with the little jet than the person in front of you.



That is some serious reasoning and deduction skills pal. Yes, my legs are severally cramped on a regional jet. So when people recline their seat it gets a lot worse. A couple inches is a lot. As I’m sure you’ve tried to convince your wife.

This sounds like an airline issue.

No convincing needed, she also knows the struggle of having a spouse with a micropenis.

So you agreed to fly on a little regional jet and blame the person in front of you for being cramped?

That's interesting.


Not everyone lives in a big city. These regional jets are where I’ve had problems with my knees being jammed

I don't recline my seat. Mainly because I just read on a flight. If I want to take a nap, I lean my head back and close my eyes.

I am most decidedly not overweight and I think reclining your seat all the way is incosiderate as frick.

A smelly a-hole did this to me on a flight from Dallas to California. Not only did he bring his horrendous stink closer to me, it made the tray back completely unusable. I had to hold my drinks. I also had very little room for a book. It was an absolutely miserable flight and as I looked around he was the only mf'er in sight doing it.

I slept on a flight from D.C. to Europe and I managed to do it without dropping my seat on the person behind me and giving them a miserable experience.

I agree airlines make this an extremely ambiguous issue though.

I base it on the flight time. If is under 2 hours I won't recline, over I will recline and don't care who is behind me.

Oversees, I don't fly coach so don't worry about it.

Fat Unamerican God hating sloths recline. Patriotic humans that manage their health treat everyone kindness and are smiled upon by God don't recline.

Doubtful. My girl is 5' and she puts her feet on her bag.

Even bought some contraption that ties to your tray so her feet aren't dangling why she sleeps.....in recline mode

Exactly. I'm in first class on the west coast to east coast red eye tonight. You can bet your arse that my seat will be reclined and the person behind me won't have any issues with it.

If you are fat or tall buy a seat in first class or in in the upgraded comfort section. I paid for the seat and I'm uncomfortable if I do not recline. I damn well will recline as I paid for the seat, to bad. Contact your congressman, the airline if you do not like how these airlines have jamed the seats so close together. Quit being a big P. Drive if you don't like it.

Actually I’m 6’2”. If my seat reclines I’m reclining if I do feel.
