Do you recline on a airplane or not? Not talking to all you first class and private plane douches. I know half of you will claim to be.

I shake down the rube behind me for 30 bucks if they dont want me in their lap.

If they don't pay, I wait until drink service, then...

Will every time and I don’t care if you like it or not. I paid for the seat, so F off.
Not with my knees in the back of the seat you won’t. Don’t try to tell me you can break my legs either lol. My space is mine and you won’t get it.

Need to straighten my legs so mostly recline. Economy Premium/whatever is where it's at for me. And I do try to sleep on flights to Europe or longer.

It should be an unwritten rule that you don't if there is somebody behind you. If that seat is empty, then by all means recline. otherwise i think reclining is disrespectful, especially these days when the airlines have crammed the seats so close together, even a normal sized human is fighting for legroom. I'm 6'-1. I hate the rubes that sit in front of me and immediately recline.

I also hate the douches that don't put their seats back up when the flight attendant makes the announcement to do so. And yes it's 97.3 percent dudes who are doing the reclining. I did the research.

I'll allow a couple of inches just to eliminate the sitting up straight mess on a longer flight....anything more than that, then not my fault when I get up and your nap gets interrupted by a hip to the back of the seat.

*Disclaimer...I always fly Delta so I am in comfort plus 99% of the time and that does help w/ the reclining abuse.

I'm 6'5'', 220. I don't recline if anyone is behind me, just out of a sense of being polite. As for people in front of me, I get my knees forward and brace my feet. Reclining isn't possible. I dig it when people keep trying to recline and I have them locked in place.

I almost never recline in any type of coach seat; however, I don't really care when people do. The airlines keep installing seats that recline so they clearly side with the recliners.

If you're so tall you need the extra room pony up the $$ for exit row, premium economy, or first class. Just like fats who have to (or should) buy two seats.

You don't have to go business class. Buy an economy plus ticket and recline without worry with those few inches of extra space.

Typical Trump licker. I can make it just as miserable for you if you want to throw a temper tantrum over a seat that reclines for a reason.

No tantrums here....just don't fall asleep in front of me if you recline.
