This. When I was 16, I was flying across the Atlantic with my family and some asshole in front of me leaned his seat all the way back and put his arms behind the seat. I politely asked him twice to lean forward a bit and move his arms. He acted like I didn’t exist. I went into a rage (I was probably twice his size)…

Perhaps you should do the same, and select a seat where your desire to recline will have less of an effect on those around you. Consideration is a two way street.

As someone who flies “very often,” you also realize that in many instances people have little to no choice as to what seat they are in: delayed connection caused you to miss your original flight, now you got stuck in some back row seat as a standby, you had to take whatever was available on your last minute…

You have the right to recline, just like I have the right to aim my air vent at your head for as long as you’re laying in my lap.

Of course it’s related. It’s related in the sense that it’s considerate to see if you’re inconveniencing someone else by your actions, and how much. As I’ve said to others, I’m not opposed to someone reclining because of, say, a back issue or whatever. I don’t want you to be in excruciating pain and if I have to…

The best way to deal with short recliners is to continually keep moving your legs agains the seat back, thus causing them discomfort. You can even toy with them a bit. See them dozing off to sleep? Time for a good shove to wake them up and prevent that.

Lots of sympathy here for people who can’t afford to pay for extra space. You’re really taking this “how to be a good person” thing to heart.

I know I should probably avoid the provocation, but.

Pretty much this. I never recline because it doesn’t even help me when it comes to stretching my legs.

I’m not that tall, but the angle those seats are typically at kill my already iffy back, especially if we’re going to be in the air more than 2 hours. I seek clearance from the person behind me by saying I totally wouldn’t do this otherwise, then recline like 2”. It doesn’t take much to change the angle enough that it…

The problem is that it doesn’t provide any leg room for a tall person when they recline their seats. But it ALWAYS creates a leg room issue for the tall person behind you.

I’m not one of those “never recline” people, but I do beg you to spare a thought for your taller fellow humans. I’m 6’2”, and on some planes, if you recline, you will literally push your chair back right into my knees, which I then have to contort to avoid having them run up against the chair. If you yourself are tall…

Simplest rule for reclining.

You’re getting oddly upset that someone you never met doesn’t care for one specific app.

Many people never go anywhere outside of their comfort zone. For example, I spent a few years living in the US midwest. I met a lot of people who said that they had never left their state and were proud of that.

lol. YOU DON’T KNOW ME. classic.

I just move the decimal over and double it...so if the bill is 25.00, tip would be $2.50x2 or $5 (since 2.50 is 10%). Much easier mental gymnastics in my book!

if you can divide by six, you have not been drinking.

Do you tip everyone else 66%?

This is utter insanity. It should be 15 dollars including tip. You’re overtipping by a wide margin.
