    I never take my seat off the plane, so no need to put it back on the plane

    No. I'm a reformed seat recliner, thanks, bizarrely enough, to another DS aeroplane seat thread.

    No, I always worry about the person behind me, don't want to be responsible for their lunch/drink going all over them!

    Good for you -- how come you never sit in front of me ?

    I dont recline my seat and I also dont allow the person in front of me to do it either.

    Same here. On the two occasions that someone has done it I've politely suggested they should put it back - and they have. If they didn't I'd knock it and kick it for the entire journey.

    I do but only when I check behind first. If they're asleep then I'll put my seat back. If they're awake, then I won't.

    What if you're not near a plane?

    Never, frankly the extra 4.5 degrees of angle is no use to anyone.

    I'd rather the airlines locked the seats in the one position then I wouldn't have to harbour the evil thought of jabbing a biro into the ear of the c*** in front of me who puts the seat back within minutes of sitting down.

    People normally do put it back if asked nicely.

    I had one woman who totally refused an hour in to the flight she put it straight. She didnt like me hanging on her head rest

    Nope

    You want more room then pay for it.

    What entitles you to put your seat in to my space..

    Yes, I recline my seat. Not for short flights, nor during meals, but usually when I'm getting some sleep when the cabin lights are darkened. Never complained about people in front reclining, and never had anyone complain about my reclining.

    The fact they paid for a seat with a reclining mechanism?

    It's just space. Nobody owns it. Nobody really cares. I've never considered the space subtended by a reclining airliner chair to be particularly useful nor important most of the time.

    You wouldn't get any sleep if you were in front of me. :)

    This explains it pretty well.

    Got to laugh at the "I'm hard, don't mess with me" attitude of the non-recliners. Seriously, if you get so worked up about a reclined seat I dread to think how you live your daily life.
