Guaranteed to be true. Especially if they don't say anything beforehand.

The recline function is built in and everyone has the right to use it. Get over it.

Not shocking coming from you, you have zero idea about common decency. Open your mouth and say "Hey I wanna recline." to give some warning at least.

Lol, youre one to talk about common decency. Sorry, if im on a 10-15 hour flight, the extra few inches really helps for sleeping. Im tall, and I dont bitch when the person in front of me does it. Its expected.

They should just remodel the planes so your tray isn't on the seat in front of you. That was a dumb design choice from its inception.

This is the same way people justify hate speech

Yea they should try and utilize those classroom style tables that slide in and fold down. Theyd have to come up with some sort of concept for middle seats but Im sure it wouldnt be that difficult. Having your tray connected to the person in front of you is just outdated and dumb.

Do you really think you can do it means you should do it?

Do you really think reclining a seat is comparable even tangentially to hate speech

---

I really dont get why they can even recline in the first place.

He added that the team at Delta had been 'awesome to work it out', and explained that everything was covered under his Apple care.

insurance came through.

Just steal the swivel thing that a bunch of movie theaters have now.

Sometimes I get annoyed when somebody reclines toward me. But they're allowed to do it, and if I want I can just recline backward myself unless I'm in the last row.

For your screen to get destroyed like that you have to have it pressed straight into the back of the seat in front of you don't you?

the angle changes on the seat while the laptop is stationary.

Depends on the context, and a yes in one case does not equal a yes in others, as you well know

The posters hating on people who recline without asking have either

A) Never been on an airplane
or
B) Never asked to recline their seat themself

I've never once heard anyone ask for permission on a flight. So yeah, like Rebel said, get over it.

Yes, which would kinda make it the dude's fault for not thinking about that beforehand. A precautionary measure I personally would have taken because knowing my luck, shit like that would happen.

Been flying at least twice a month for 8 years. Never recline. Anyone who doesn't think it's a problem is a 5'6" manlet.

I just never recline my seat while flying because theres literally no reason to. Most people on flights dont recline.

Opinion and poor observation.

Sure you are.

It's not uncommon for me to have an 11 hour day, although usually a quarter of that is layover.

What the fuck kind of upside down world is this? What kind of flights are these? When im on a 10+ hour flight every damn person is reclining and nobody asks

Lol, odd retort. Yeah, I have such a reason to lie about my height to you.

yeah try an 11 hour flight nonstop then come shitpost

---

Shitty situation, but why was his laptop so close to the back of the seat? Lol. Seems like it was in an odd position.

Fossil posted...

No it isn't. There are absolutely no reasons to recline. It doesn't make things comfortable, all it does is make things worse for whoever is behind you. It has been a few years, so maybe people have gotten more sociopathic but it used to be that maybe 1 in 6 people would recline. Though there is little reason to believe you or RebelElite since the type of person who'd recline is likely not going to be very aware of their surroundings.

Big difference between asking and at least letting someone know you're about to recline. It's called common courtesy and people should try it on more.

Yall should fly Spirit or Frontier if you don't want reclining seats lmao

My statement wasn't open for debate because it was factual. Whether you disagree is irrelevant. I recline because it does make the flight more comfortable for me. Which means what you just said was, again, factually wrong (because it's an opinion).

With that being said, whenever I am flying, I always look back and see what the person behind me is doing prior to reclining. If they are actively using it to eat, I'll wait. If they have something on it, I'll recline slowly. I'm not an asshole about it, but I have never once asked nor been asked to not recline my seat.

Again, nobody has ever complained or cared on any flight I've ever been on. So it's not a problem until it becomes one. If it annoys someone and they want to sit there and fester about it, that's their problem and maybe they should man up and say something next time.

lmao is this the new circumcised vs uncircumcised topic?

CE is so fucking funnystupid

Your statement wasn't at all factual. Like seriously where was there anything that was remotely true in it?

---

I'm 6'5" and I don't recline, because reclining is for assholes. It's a functionality that should have disappeared years ago, as airlines have moved the seats closer and closer to cram more passengers in.

First sentence = opinion
Second sentence = observation

uwnim posted... No it isn't.

Yup, sure was. So now you're telling me what you said was not an opinion nor an observation. In that case, give me some references to back up your claims.

Changing your seat angle does not address the issues that make flying uncomfortable. The issues are a lack of room and being stuck in one place for a long period of time. What reclining does it change the angle of your back, it doesn't provide more space for your legs, it doesn't change that you are seated and it doesn't let you start moving around so your body doesn't have issues. What it does do is reduce the space around the legs of the person behind you and make them more cramped and reduces what little space they'd have to move even further. As such, there are no reasons to recline. This isn't an opinion, it is an irrefutable fact.

Reclining absolutely alleviates pain in my back, even if it's just a couple of inches.

What is with people bringing those giant lap tops on planes space is already at a premium why would you bring some fragile unwieldy electronic device with you. All you will be doing is being a nuisance to those around you as you try to get everything situated especially if you are in coach and the noise from typing and the light the screen puts off just annoys those around you. If you need to do work so everyone will be in awe of how important you are just get a smaller laptop or use a tablet. This is basically karma at work one annoying guy falls victim to another annoying guy.

---

I like how Rebel began the topic by proving that reclining is indeed for assholes

It does for me. I wish you were around on my flights to remind me I'm wrong and that my back or neck doesn't actually stop hurting when I recline and that I'm just hallucinating it.

Well no shit, that's the point of reclining is to change the angle of the back. I don't care about leg space as I'm not a tall person.

Go fly first class if you want to cry about lost leg space. The only thing you stated that was a fact is that you lose some room when a person reclines. Everything else was an opinion.

ps - Included a pic of how negligible the leg space lost would look like for most reclined seats on an Airplane. :)
