The typical airline seats reclines all of two or three inches, in most cases that is not a problem to the people in the seat behind.

LOL. You might also chew a clove of garlic, then lean forward and start breathing heavily. I'll bet that would get the seat upright in a hurry.

If I'm paying hard money for a seat that reclines, and some idiot behind with some $10 gadget prevents it from doing so, they are going to either remove it or pay for my seat. It's that simple.

Dude, I am the same height as leadpencil. When I fly coach, my legs are SOLIDLY wedged into the back of the seat in front of me. There is simply no other place for my legs to go. Nothing rude about it, except for the reaction of folks like you who somehow expect me to saw three inches off my legs so YOU can recline.

I will kill, with the box cutter I routinely smuggle on to flights, the very first infidel I see who refuses to cut three inches off his legs so I can recline. In Allah's name, all that is Holy.

ALLAH AKBAR!

There really isn't enough room in the planes to day to recline. If the guy in front of you reclines, it's like having him on your lap.

It's threads like this that makes me thankful that I own a private business jet.

Were you "offended" by #24? Or, did the one who wrote it decide to 'take it back'? I only ask because I often think it's best to leave that stuff there, as an indictment of the one who posted it.

Now, if someone would just invent a gadget that prevents 4 year olds from screaming and 5 year olds from kicking the back of your seat.......oh yeah...the gadget's supposed to be called "Parents." Only, it's not so effective when they just smile at the kid and say "Now, Johnny, what did we agree on?" Or worse, do nothing.

I agree with that... but for someone of my height it is. I'm not saying you can't recline, just be considerate and ask first...

Oh it was humor from a classic movie. Not meant as anything more than humor. Give it a break.

My solution for the individual who insists on full recline ... I stand up lean over and plant a big kiss on their forehead. Works every time ... ;)

LOL, I will ask for permission. Fortunately I don't have to fly very often.

Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little fett

Well I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Round here

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here

I start talking to the person next to me about my recent trips to Toronto and Hong Kong and then start coughing.

Oddly enough, this is how I solve all the problems in my life.
