“That’s true, but I have it on good authority that people who rudely recline their seats onto the laps the the people behind them in Coach are going to end up in Hell.”
LOL, that IS funny, I must admit. Remind me never to be sitting either in front of you or behind you on a plane. If in front, I might be forced to toss a glass of water your way. Or maybe to cheer you up, a glass of wine, white of course, so it won’t stain.
If you are one of those rude people who thinks they own the space behind them so that you fully recline your seat without regard for the comfort and safety of the guy behind you, then you may very well end up in Hell. I knew someone who got a blood clot from sitting in a cramped airline seat and got a blood clot that killed him.
If you are going to recline your seat fully, please be courteous enough to ask the person in whose lap you are planning on resting whether it would be OK if you reclined. Most likely even a claustrophobe like me would not object in that case. What I do object to is those people who do it without any regard for the person behind them.
Personally, I have never reclined more than a couple of inches unless the seat behind me was vacant.
Do unto others.....

LOL!!! That IS funny what you wrote. flaglady, be aware that there are people like me who just don’t want to get into it with A-HOLES who recline their seat FULLY — particularly when meal service is STILL going on. Rather than “get into” it with a-hole (as they have already demonstrated by putting a seat fully reclined) I prefer the passive method of getting even. A few boogers in their hair tossed by me pretty much satisfies my need to beat the crap out of them. Problem solved. And yes, in the past I HAVE gotten lips from idiots who do that, after they’ve been politely asked not to. A night flight over the ocean is one thing, but even then these people should not get huffy when asked to UNrecline the seat so the person behind can get up to use the restroom.
