BrooksBurner Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Recline. That dude is being a little bitch. Looks like he has plenty of space for what he's doing.
Dunny Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 300 flights over past 8 years. Never reclined, never used the washroom. Never bothered me when people reclined, would bother me when they use the washroom 15 minutes in to a flight. I don't have to fly again in the foreseeable future and wouldn't miss it if I never did again.
Pete Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 This guy should get doxxed canceled and have the batteries flip on his remote. Also wet his toilet paper roll 1
The Dude Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 What difference would there be if he COULD recline? He's just a douche.
Dunny Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Recline. That dude is being a little bitch. Looks like he has plenty of space for what he's doing. Shaved head, nu-male beard, black rims. What would you expect?
Drew a Penalty Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I don't ever recline. Not a huge fan of being reclined on, but it's really just an inconvenience. I just don't do it because I don't like having it done to me. No need to be a dick like the guy in the video, though.
josh Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Recline. It’s a half an inch. I usually don’t unless there’s no one behind me , but if the planes that empty, you probably have an empty seat next to you
Albatrosss Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Dude’s an asshole. Wonder if she complained to the flight attendant
paddynyc Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Not a good move and I don't recline and I'm over 6 ft tall when someone is behind me.
LindG1000 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 The internet is asking the wrong question. It's not whether or not reclining is okay. It's why we're in a space where someone cannot recline without inconveniencing the person behind them.

It's why we're in a space where someone cannot recline without inconveniencing the person behind them. This is correct, but the logistics to solve this issue are hard to accomplish. You're talking about redesigning every commercial aircraft on the planet. Maybe Boeing should get to work on this instead of attempting to fix 747s (don't @ me, i don't actually know what's going on with boeing).

RodrigueGabriel Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I'm 6'4" and really not a fan of people reclining. I don't do it in compliance with the Golden Rule. But guy's a dick. Getting no response, I would have gotten up, walked around the seat to look her in the eye and explain why it it sucks for me. If that had no effect, not much else to do.

4EverRangerFrank Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I don't think the Guy would have done this if the woman was someone bigger and less docile. Super-dick move to keep punching her seat. Polite conversation works too. A-hole personified. FWIW I recline to the first seat setting and not all the way back.

It's why we're in a space where someone cannot recline without inconveniencing the person behind them. I don't agree. The woman is sitting in a seat that reclines. Who the fuck does this douche monkey think he is to do something that's NOT within his right (basically assault), because someone else is doing something within their right?
Phil Posted February 14, 2020 Author Posted February 14, 2020 She should have asked for a water, poured it into the cup, and promptly thrown it over her shoulder all over him.
phillyb Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Yeah, that dude is passive-aggressive to the max and that is not better than the "conflict" that would have happened had he just talked to the woman. The dude needs to be stoned publicly and I ain't talkin about :slats:
Albatrosss Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 where are all the feminists? this guy is obviously doing what he's doing because she's a woman.

I'm not defending his reaction. He's an asshole. She's not in the wrong for reclining. He's not in the wrong for being upset about it. He's absolutely in the wrong for repeatedly punching her chair. I'm stating that the problem doesn't exist if you create seats that don't create space problems for anyone over 5'6. And yeah, it'd require retrofitting planes - just like airlines do every time they find a way to squeeze yet another five seats on the same size plane.

This is the first time I've ever heard of reclinegate. Never even thought to complain about it. Chair reclines. End of story.

BrooksBurner Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I'll backtrack a little, because in fairness to this guy we don't know if he had already politely asked the lady if she wouldn't mind sitting up a bit. Maybe she got nasty with him about it and it escalated to what it was from there. Who knows. Not enough info. Agree with G that if some of these airliners didn't cram you in like sardines we wouldn't even be talking about 2-3 inches of recline being any kind of deal at all.
Albatrosss Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 More room to recline, less seats on the plane. Less seats—more expensive the tix are
LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Take a train, bus, boat or drive... traveling by plane is nothing less than a miserable experience foisted on the public by the de-regualtion of the airline industry... Want to get treated like baggage? Then fly!
