I do my best to buy leg room when it’s available. It’s not 100% available. For example when my dad died and I had to fly back. 6’2” with a bad knee from basketball injury makes it tough.

Passengers being this upset about the reclined seats has me really worried about a potential trip in November with my family. We will have almost 3 year old boy (who is a handful) and six month old by that time. I'm sure I'll get plenty of negative parental judgement on the flights.

Hell I'll judge you already and I know I will not be on the flight. ;)

Nah actually good luck have a good trip.

Seats recline. Use or don’t use. I personally recline, at the ding.

I travel frequently, mixed classes. Only time there was an issue recline was a domestic flight for 2 hours. Grown lady behind me started kneeing my seat with purpose and vigor. I took it as a massage, was a bit thankful and amused, and didn’t look or say a word. She started to pucker out at 20 minutes, then stopped completely after 25.

If you are that passionate about other peoples seats, and don’t want them to recline, buy seats behind the exit row, as they don’t recline. You’ll be happier.

It appears the poll is trending in my favor...

Majority of people recline. At least some of the time. According to the poll. Think the main thing is that people who do recline do so in a slow deliberate manner. And give some upright sitting during beverage service. Large people trying to fit into economy seats crowd the other people in their row as their body lays on the person next to them. Personal space needs to be maintained. Middle always gets the two arm rests. Always

You should publish an airline etiquette book. You seem to know all of the "rules"

Stay upright. Your choice. No problem from me. I have the room I need and those around me as well. You are the one complaining about your lack of room.
 
Work or personal? I'm curious as to how that was handled in replacement. I know it's an accident, but kind of a rude accident.
Work laptop. I ended up just saying it got dropped as it was going to be more hassle to go after the guy.
 
Uhmmm...sure thing, pal. Next time I'll remember to use a 3rd grade vocabulary level. This isn't about me or my education.
I think I learned what dolt meant in 7th or 8th grade, I don’t remember what book specifically we were reading when it came up but everyone giggled when we learned what it meant. So congrats you’re using 7th or 8th grade vocabulary
