As I told the (rude) woman behind me: The recline feature of this seat is equivalent to 20% of my ticket; this flight would be 20% less comfortable without it.

I’ll accept $200 !CASH! to not recline into your lap for the duration of this flight.

I would love to drive to the places I need to get to, but my car doesn’t like the water and I can’t afford a ship.

I had some clown shove the back of HIS seat into my chest on a flight a few years ago.

A well-placed and rather juicy SNEEZE on the top of his head got it returned the upright and locked position immediately — even before my sincere “Oh, excuse me” — and it remained there for the rest of the trip.

Now that all sorts of nasty bugs are with us, that should work every time.

But, to avoid any unpleasantness, be sure to apologize!

‘I call her the Bi*ch in the box. And yes they are annoying.”

Recalculating.

Stop the car, throw your keys out the window, and up against the door!

Now!

I used to look forward to flying (in the 70s). Airplanes with some empty seats. Check in several bags for free. Reasonable security. Attentive stewardesses. Free meals on most flights.

Now I dislike the experience, especially the security check. I’ve quantified how much I dread it. I figure out how many hours I’d be willing to drive rather than fly to that destination (from Hartford):

Drive: Pittsburgh (8 hours)
Fly: Raleigh, NC (10 hours)

So I’d rather drive 8 hours than fly.

What's your chest measurement? 75 inches?

You recline with that atttude that " you payed for it" Then im kicking the crap out of the back of your seat with my knees ... me and my knees pay for that same space you content is yours...

the airlines advertise they offer more legroom, not reclining room when, I buy the ticket, so truth in advertising I paid for the legroom I'll damn well get the leg room.

I just flew American this Wednesday from LA to DC

The Airline was talking up all "we've just remodeling giving you 2 inches more leg room! "

And then I had the one guy in front of me recline the whole flight and take all that extra leg room paid for from me...

so truth in advertising.... the airline advertises they are selling more legroom, not more reclining room ... I've got first dib on that space...a hole!

I wish. However, most will let you pick Japanese vocal command with English screens.

Just as an aside, I really doubt that if you took one look at me you’d be kicking the back of my seat. But “internet hero” stuff aside, your problem is that you believe that something that doesn’t belong to you actually belongs to you.

I consider you inconsiderate. But never mind, if it’s available I always pay extra for the exit row seat....because I can.

Something I see related to this topic, is a sneering attitude towards people who shopped for price when riding in air busses.

Enjoy the night you spend in some Podunk airport nowhere near your destination, as well, or at least a 3-4 delay in your arrival to where you wanted to go.
