You know what's worse? Being passive aggressive. If someone reclining their seat is bothering you, just ask them to straighten their seat. No need to make a post about it.
how long of a flight would you go before you recline?
>>541689269Or just be a considerate human being and not recline in the first place. It's not like it gives you much anyway
>>541689428Modern society has a lot of passiave aggressive people who are afraid of conflict. I think these cowards are the bigger problem.
>>541689567I'm going to recline it all the way into your lap and by the end of the plane ride you'll love me.
I fully recline, hog both armrests, then release a stinky fartDeal with it, niggers
>>541689166meh, I never recline, but I also don't give a shit if the person in front does>>541689567>I think these cowards are the bigger problem.active aggressive people are a much worse problem, obviously
OP is a jeet and has never been on a plane.
>>541689718Nigger detected
>>541689166I only recline if the person behind me is nonwhite or a woman
>>541689166let me guess, fukin nip hands typed this in hopes of not getting reclined on....
>>541690016Nips obey the social contract, they don't recline
I stopped flying after Frontier "lost" my luggage, then found it, then mailed it back to me with garbage inside. One of their niggers had ripped open my bag, took everything out, and replaced it with trash from the nearest trash can. They then had the balls to charge me $75 Fedex and a $20 "return" fee which I then disputed and won. Thanks Mastercard. Never got an official answer, but the checkin manager for Oakland said Florida airports don't verify their contractors so it was probably down there. They were looking for weed because OAK does not stop outgoing bags for weed, so they thought they'd hit a jackpot when they saw the OAK tag. I then paid 30% more to fly American until they straight up cancelled my connection flight with NO alternative option. I'm then stuck outside Savannah with NO means of getting to ATL besides renting a car for $400. I then did so, missed my flight no refund, and I had to pay again to get home. Another cancelled charge.I am just so sick of flying. I take the train now and it is so much better. Any place Amtrak cannot take me in 18 hours I just remote in. This works good enough from Chicago and the company is faster in reimbursing me because it's considered transit. There are no feral blacks because Amtrak police just removes them straight away now, and my luggage is never separated from me. No carry on fees either and the food is better.
>>541689428>do NOT try to be comfortable on your worthless airline seat!
>>541689166if I can't cuck asians by reclining my seat I choosing a train
>>541689166>Oh nyo~
Being white means assuming the seat will be reclined as intended and designed(by a fellow white person), not being a retard who expects otherwise.
>>541689166I will do as I please.Society has failed me so I have no moral obligation to do anything.I follow the law because fines and jail time are inconveniant.When I am nice to someone, it is a transaction or I don't want to deal with a confrontation at that exact moment.I am white and I have no respect for other human beings because they've never had any for me.Fuck you.>Cart: behind your car>Seat: fully reclined>Ass: unwiped
>>541689965And you love me you damn nigger lover.
>>541690449Being white means being civilized, and considerate of your fellow man. Post hands
>>541689166If everyone reclines, no one has less space, and everyone is more comfortable. Faggots who choose not to recline are responsible for their own reduced space.
>>541689718>I'm going to recline it all the way into your lapYou've clearly never flown in your life.
>>541689166Not a bad way to look at it, I suppose.I'm a courteous person, because I'm also a violent one. I give the respect I deserve, and punish appropriately regardless of laws or customs. May not be the "smartest" way to live, but I find it the most honest.
>>541690752>If no-one reclines, no one has less space, and everyone is more comfortable.>Faggots who choose to recline are responsible for reducing the space of everyone else
>>541690620Im not posting hands for a memeflag. You aint white.Being considerate of others means I accept that the person in front of me will recline as the seat designers intended and not get upset at the natural order.
>>541690946>If no-one reclines everyone is more comfortableHey faggot, reclining is more comfortable, that's why we do it. If no one reclines, then everyone is LESS comfortable.I don't care if you believe me or see reason, I'm going to recline regardless.
>>541690862I just flew into your heart.
>>541691832Ok Rahul. Typical jeet behaviour, scrambling over everyone just to get yours. No wonder you don't get the concept.
>>541689428I paid for the seat, I'll use it how I like. But I started paying extra for First Class so I don't have to deal with the retarded poors anymore.
>>541689166It's quite simple, are you fat, a shitskin or a woman? You're getting reclined on, get fucked. Anyone else gets a pass
>>541689404I rest by leaning forward onto the tray. I can sleep that way. It's the White man's napping protocol.
I am 6'5". I have no choice but to recline the seat back all the way, even in Premium Economy. I pay extra for the emergency exit seat, I can do what I want.
>>541689166On a shorter flight I dont normally recline, and ill normally wait 1.5 hrs or so before reclining since I dont typically try to sleep the first part of the flight before the service cart comes, but yes, I will slowly recline the seat back after that, key word being slowly. No one likes being smacked by a seat. That being said I dont need to sacrifice my own minimal amount of comfort on a mid-long haul flight so the person behind me (who is themselves probably reclined) can feel like they are in a space that is slightly more spacious.Theres ample room under the seats to stretch your legs, this really only applies to fat fucks and really tall people, in which case basketball player level tall people should knowingly book “extra legroom” seats, since for once in their life their height has put them at a minimal disadvantage.If youre fat, fuck you. I hope youre extremely uncomfortable. Try not to breathe too fucking loud or drip into your neighbors seat, and no, you cant have my window seat, thats your problem that you once again didnt plan for.The shopping cart analogy is moronic by the way. The shopping cart abandoner mentality is “someone else will put this away for me”, the comfort part of the equation is ancillary, its more about a system in place being exploited due to laziness (which can cause parking obstructions in extremely selfish cases) whereas reclining a chair an inch or two on a plane is perfectly understandable and a permissible use of a system put in place to increase traveller comfort.The real issue are the fucking idiots who put their feet on the back of your seat. THAT is actual lack of consideration for your neighbor. Get ready for me to recline back and forth violently, jarring you awake each time, until you stop. Sweet dreams.
>>541694325Same. I will always pay extra for First Class or extra legroom. But sometimes I can't get it. And the moment I can, I recline all the way back. Fuck the nigger behind me. I just don't give a shit. We're all in this together. We all paid the fare. I'll use the seat I paid for however I want.
>>541690752I put my laptop on the tray to get work done. A person leaning back steals that space and closes my laptop
>>541694580>clack clack clack clack clack>subtly shaking your neighbors seat Id recline my seat in as annoying a manner as possible to bother you. Repeatedly
>>541694580No it doesn't. Not even my meme gaming laptop with a massive screen is unusable when the person in front reclines.They never stole your space, the space the chair reclines into is their space, not yours. It was never yours and you thinking it was shows just how selfish and hypocritical you are.
>>541694580Your work is nowhere near as important as my comfort. And, also, I paid for the seat and will use it how I like.
>>541694580Trays are for serving meals. Get your company to book you a first class ticket if your job is so important that they need you to work during the flight. I paid for a seat the reclines, and I'm not going to make myself more uncomfortable because of your work deadlines.
Airplane seats only recline like 2-4 inches. It's really not that big of a deal
>>541695480>muh "I paid for the seat so I get to use the recline feature" argumentPaying for a button does not delete the human being whose already tiny space you're plapping into. The feature exists. Their legs also exist. Only one of those requires you to stop being a selfish fucking child for five seconds.If your entire moral framework is “I paid for it and it’s not illegal,” then you’re exactly the kind of subhuman livestock this litmus test was written to expose.Enjoy your two inches of stolen comfort, you fucking jeet.
>>541695928Then why is the button there in the first place if it's not to be used?
>>541695928>you fucking jeet.Oh, and you can fuck right off with that shit. I'm the Whitest man God ever made you fucking faggot. I use the button because I'm 6'2", i.e., not a fucking useless, sexless manlet you scum.

>>541691832Most accurate post in thread
>>541696262Frankly, it's a moot point. When I fly commercial, it's always First or Business class. When feasible I just fly one of my flying club planes myself. The nice thing about being a pilot is I can leave when I want, arrive when I want, bring a gun, and not have to deal with the fucking poors.
>>541690359Hate when that happens

>>541689166Why would I check with someone else? Did they pay for my seat?
>>541689166Why do they even build short & medium range planes with reclining seats.You could probably save a few hundred kg on a 737 or A321 by having no reclining mechanism.
>>541697217I'm not worth millions. Only one million, maybe. You don't have to be rich to fly planes. You just have to be smart and middle class. But then I see your flag and understand that the average Bucee's manager makes more than the average cardiologist where you exist. Fucking sad.
