IllinoisDave Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I don't recline. I hate it when people do it to me, especially right after they've finished THEIR food and I've still got food on my tray. So I never do it. I can't sleep on the plane anyway.

Sebastian Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) When the lights go out, I recline. I note other things happening when the lights are on - like:1. duty free sales2. food service3. plane landing/taking off4. children's puppet show5. drink service I try to sleep when the lights go off, so I recline. I've been lucky? I haven't had any close encounters with fellow passengers. Edited December 1, 2008 by Darnell (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsap seui Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) On one of my trips from Beijjing to Dulles International airport, I stood in the line to get my boarding pass and I noticed an american guy and his Chinese wife and two kids in line. Easily overhearing this guys comments to his family and to the United Airlines people trying to process him, I though..."this guy is TROUBLE, I hope he isn't going on my plane." Well guess what? Sho nuff, that clown sat down right in front of me. And the second he could, his seat reclined FULLY. It knocked my book off my tray and he proceeded to knock his seat with some pretty strong jolts through-out the flight. He pestered the flight attendents to death with his call button and made a complete nuisance of himself. I kept my cool and waited for him to get deeply to sleep...then...I got up, rather...ah... vigorously I might mention, and if that bastard hadn't have been belted in, he would have been knocked on the floor...3 ROWS UP. He jumped up and stared at me, and I bent down and very, very softly, so he had to strain to hear my words, and with a COMPLETELY DEAD CALM voice, I whispered in his ear...."I realize you think you are the only person on this here flight. I'm heading back to the bathrooms just now, should you feel like you need to discuss anything with me... I'll wait for ya." And I winked, and smiled at him. tsap seui Edited December 1, 2008 by tsap seui (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpedbored Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 They put those buttons on the seat for a reason. If I didn't recline my seat I wouldn't be able to stand up after a long flight. If they don't want you to recline they should disable the button.

Yes; that's why they parade you through business class at the end of your flight, hoping you'll get the message and buy a more expensive seat the next time.

Randy W Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Those who are inclined to recline should mind those behind when they opine that the line of our incline is too fine, when they pine to dine, and decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
