Seat reclining etiquitte on planes, trains, and busses....

Im sitting behind a couple right now in the bulkhead. They got plenty of leg room and still fulll lean back. It makes being on a laptop hard as hell unless i lean back. If i do i generally look back to see if the person is tall or doing something on their tray.

Flying sucks, middle is the absolute worst so I try to be considerate instead of making it even more terrible.

If its a red eye or transmamerica, diff rules.

Virgin America is the best domestic carrier though.

What's worse is people in exit rows who don't "NEED" the space. 5'1" dudes in exit rows piss me off. Looking all smug like they just got a frapacino or some bull from starbucks and reading some weak *** NY Times article on why it's better to get organic quiona. Bragging about how they own an emu and what not and how smiling at all the space they have knowing damn well they don't need it and their frail ***** couldn't open that emergency door. I NEED THAT SPACE B! I give them death stares too. I've got to be all cramped while you drink your mocha late and listen to the beach boys. **** grinds my gears.

Howling!!!!!!
 
Wow, some of you are really crying about people pressing the reclining button on planes.

If someone spends their hard earned money on a plane ticket, they got the right to press that button and make themselves as comfortable as they possibly can.

Some clown dude (possibly a niketalker, judging from this thread) lost his marbles at me for reclining my chair on a flight a while back. I just told him to please stop talking to me otherwise I would tell the flight attendant that the person in the seat behind me was harassing me and he shut up.

Some people like to complain about the most silliest things. Its obviously not a big deal otherwise the planes wouldn't have that recline button to begin with.
 
And if something that petty is an issue to you then either fly first class or get your money up and buy your seat and the seat in front of you so that you don't have to worry about the passenger in front of you reclining their seat.
 
No offense, but he ain't saving nobody in the event of some sort of disaster. He should be removed from those seats.
 
if the flight is about an hour or less, i wouldn't recline. 

but red eye flights across the country, i would recline to pass out.

If the flight has meals, I'll raise my seat for sure when they are serving.

:lol: funny but true.

I'm 6 feet tall and I've got to say that **** sucks. I was on a bus from Sao Paulo to Rio during the WC and I have never seen seats lean that far back! And this wasnt the "sleeping coach" bus. Dude in front of me leaned it back and it was awful.

I honestly don't even know why Airplanes let them lean that far back tbh.
 
Man what?!  I understand reclining pisses off the person whose knee space is getting encroached on, but we're really gonna use some device to force them to not recline?  FOH!  

Unless you paid for my ticket or you're a stewardess, you're not telling me what I can and can't do with my seat.  

I fully understand the dude who caused a scene b/c that's the kind of petty **** that would make me snap on a stranger, and I'm generally a cordial guy.

A few weeks back I was on a redeye from LA to New York. I had the misfortune of sitting in the back row where seats don't recline in the middle seat between an average sized person and a more heavy set person. And to make it worse, the person in front of me had their seat reclined most the flight.

It was 5 hours of torture. I didn't complain though. Aside from the fact I was flying standby and paying a fraction of what they paid, the person in front of me had every right to recline his chair if he wanted to and who am I to complain.

There's a special place in hell for people who recline their seats on a ******* plane, one of the more inconsiderate things you can do

This is the defining question of our generation...

I hate it when people recline. I understand on long flights with bigger seats, but not on the typical 2-3 hour flight in a tight plane. The person leaning back is rarely even someone tall who needs it. It's usually some self-entitled 12-year-old girl going through her first bleed and flying to her step-father's ranch in Texas while she watches Iggy videos on her 5th iPad. She also manages to kick the seat in front of her while leaned back.

It's ok though. Whenever someone leans back on me, I let me knees dance.

How are you going to say what someone "really" needs though?
 
Bruh i'm 6'3....if person in front leans back and i don't have the aisle seat we finna have some PROBLEMS.

The only thing that has actually bothered me in all my years flying, is sitting next to someone who is clearly occupying more than just their purchased seat. 

I'm a larger person so I respect and understand how it is for other large people, but I still fit into the confines of a seat. I once was on a flight back to Sac sitting next to a person who clearly should have purchased two seats rather than spilling half his body onto mine.

Like, sir, I would really appreciate it if we could have the armrests down like normal people would.

But nope, lets have the armrests up so your body can literally cram into the side of my body while we attempt to get your seatbelt on.

On top of that, the dude got all sweaty trying to hustle into his seat.

Luckily it wasn't a full flight and I could ask to move seats. I almost felt bad/embarrassed, but some people need to know their limits.
