Reclining your airline seat

[Beastdog]

You know what really chaps my ass? When you're in the waiting area getting ready to board and some lazy, selfish biyatch decides it's more important for her purse to get the seat next her than to provide it to an actual human being.

Here in China, I don't put up with this *****. I turn around and tell people to not do this sort of crap. I will tell you that Chinese flight attendants wouldn't allow it either. On the flip side, the number of fully grown adults playing children's video games on their phones at full volume is pretty astounding.

I took a empty flight from LA to San Diego over Catalina Island once and it was just me and my wife and son.   Back in last 80s

Yup. I took 'red eye' flights like that all the time in the 1980's.

I'm 6'1" and I refuse to fly anything other than 1st class; especially on those OCONUS 13+ hour flights.

Have you since started using deodorant?

It was another 5 grand for business. I'm not paying 5K to lay down. Do I have 5k? Yes. But that's a ripoff. I didn't have 5K when I took the Greyhound. That's why I was on a bus I barely had the 99 bucks it cost. I would pay 5K to not be smashed by a four hundred pounder for 12 hours. I'd pay 10K.

Points, what was it that got you to start this thread?  Who did you piss off this time?

I piss off no one.  Until they provoke me.  Are YOU trying to provoke me?

It is a douche move though. Every square inch is valuable the way they pack you in like sardines. Luckily I have a strong enough knee that no one will be able to pull that crap on me.

You better smile.

I was on a bus from St. Louis to Central Texas (3 days). We stopped at every post office on the way. Still recall a town sign that read 'Population 26'. As for paying to have a shower, eat decent food, and have a seat that is both extremely comfortable and doubles as a bed is worth it to me. If this was a flight every few years, I could manage, but we fly 3 or 4 times a year.

I was in St. Louis and was having my first bouts with asthma.  I was not breathing right for hours.  I knew something was wrong and just wanted to go home to go to a hospital I was familiar with.  I flew from St. Louis to Cleveland.  I am 6 foot 2 inches.  My knees are typically crammed.  Because I had breathing problems, I was irritable.

The man in front reclined his chair into my knees.  I groaned and said "those are my knees".  He turned to look at me and tried again to recline back into me.  I took his seat and shoved it forward with both hands.  He flew forward hitting into the guy in front of him.  He went to say something and I ended the conversation with "look Mfer".  The man never tried to lean back again.  Prolly one of the least patient times in my life.

I would have tore his leg off and made him eat it, were I were so provoked.
