Isn't it just one person's comfort level vs. another's? Seems like you would be selfish for saying no and preventing the other person from being comfortable. The person reclining back isn't doing anything out of the ordinary, it's part of the function of the chair. It's not like some guy next to you is lifting up the arm rest to spill his fatass over into your seat or anything.

But this is ATOT...ME ME ME ME ME ME ME.

meme?

This is absurd. You think someone should ask you before they recline their seat? Wow. Just wow.

Well you're a midget so I wouldn't expect you to understand..thanks for playing.
 
I don't fly often, but when I do, I recline the seat as far as it will go. I don't ask fer permission. I just do it because it's more comfortable.
 
WTF? Ask to recline my seat? No thanks. I spent 27 hours straight getting home between airplanes and airports this week and when I was ready to nap on the plan I reclined and did.

Never heard of asking to recline before.

Well, they paid for it, they can do whatever they want with it. Usually when people in front of me try to recline their seat I subtly put my knees up against it to keep it so it won't budge. Then they creen their neck around to see what's going on and I'm like, oh, that's my knee you're pushing against.

This. My knees rest against the back of the seats normally, so they can try to recline all they want and it's not happening. Planes were not built for tall people. It sucks.

From now on I will deliberately recline my seat to fvcked with people like you. Blame the airline moron.

WTF has this country come to!?
 
As long as they recline slowly and gently, otherwise I consider them rude, but I wouldn't expect them to ask me first. If it bothers you that much you'll have to pay extra and step up to business class.

I'm comfortable with my height. Meanwhile, you're still a whiny little bitch who just got owned by 79.69% of the people that entered this thread so far. Your rant failed, you don't have to get salty about it.

But seriously though, why is your comfort more important than the person in front of you?
