Fuck that bitch, I recline all I fucking want on an airplane.

Not if I'm behind you you don't. It's a miserable experience for the recliner. Simple fact.

Most airline seats are built for the person that is 5'8" and 140 pounds.

I'm neither.

At 6 feet, my knees go into the back of the seat in front of me before or after reclining. The best thing for me as a taller person is to actually recline slightly so that I can get a better angle for my knees to get underneath the seat in front of me and extend throughout the flight.

When you're 5'2" (like I'm sure that author is), you don't have a fucking clue.

We need to reach a national consensus on how old kids have to be before they can ride a plane. Maybe have a timeout room in the back. Annoying kids with limp dick parents that don't believe in raising their voice or spanking are the absolute fucking worst thing in the world.

Every flight, the first thing I do when I set is to rest my knees up against the person's seat in front of me, but not hard enough for them to notice. Every flight, that dipshit in front of me tries to recline but meets an impenetrable wall. The person then jabs the seat against my knees twice, thinking the seat is stuck. Then he/she turns and sees my knees resting there. I then get a dirty look, and an asshole huff. I then reply with, "next time bring a neck pillow"

Every so often I run into a dumbass that wants to check every 15 minutes or so, to see if I moved my knees, which I never do. It's only ok to recline when the seat behind you is empty or some kid is behind you. Other than that, pay first class/business class or GTFO.

All of this talk about airplane seats and no one is giving odds that Fetters has to ask for the seat belt extension AND gets charged for a 2nd seat.

Airlines are missing out on charging hundreds of dollars per ticket for more leg room.

Baphomet · August 2014

Every flight, the first thing I do when the crew gives the okay, is recline my seat. Once in a while, some dipshit behind me gets his panties in a wad because I banged into his legs and forced them out of the way. Then he turns to his wife and whimpers.

It's only ok to not expect the seat in front of you to recline when the seat is empty. Other than that, pay first class/business class or GTFO.

Be glad you've never sat infront of me because I'd make your flight a living hell.

I've actually had dumb fucks turn around and say, I'm trying to recline ... can you please move your legs.

I smile as I drive my knee in a little deeper.

I also make sure they get the top of their head tickled from my newspaper.

I probably have. You probably whimpered like the rest of them.

This is why I fly 1st class

If you put your seat back in my lap, be prepared for my knees and feet constantly bumping and kicking your seat. I can keep that up for hours. If you don't like it, the solution is simple, get the fuck out of my lap and give me some room.

Which one of you dipshits was this?

When you recline your seat, does it get stuck against a tackle box?

The latter depends on how nice the stewadist feels like being. But the former, without question, 100%.

FreeChavez · August 2014

Doesn't matter whether you recline or not, it isn't improving your leg room if you're tall. As someone who's well over average height, you're f-ed either way. Why make it any worse for the person behind you?????

Sorry, but in these cases i believe in taking one for the team. I'm already going to hate my life for X hours, I don't see a reason to really make two of us miserable.

BTW, my pet peeve is walking by the exit row and watching some douche swinging their legs b/c at a robust 5'4" they can't even touch the ground. Yup, that should be outlawed. You can not sit in an exit row unless you're 6'0" over.

Howdy, Stranger!
