    A little common courtesy goes a long way. If someone reclines in front of me, I'm not going to make a stink or do something that's going to get me immortalized on Twitter. But if they just say "comin' back!" or quasi-ask for permission, that's great. If they buy me a drink or offer one of their cookies, then they can break the chair and stick the headrest under my chin. I'll be sleeping anyway.

    Spitballs? Farting? Pressing the stewardess call button above her seat?

    Knees in the back of her seat. Use her headrest to get up. Never thought of farting, I’d hate to shit myself trying to force one out.

    That’s some passive aggressive shit. Might as well just own it and jab her seats a couple dozen times.

    Or, you could lean your own seat back and just move on with your life.

    Yeah but the poor, sensitive fella in the last row doesn’t have the option to recline, so he must instead lash out.

    I’m not selfish like you. I won’t inconvenience the person behind me.

    Why should I care about their comfort if they don’t care about mine?

    Because their ticket includes the right to recline their seat. Your ticket does not include the right to be a dick.

    The dick is the one who only cares about themselves.

    I can't believe that someone reclining their seat could really impact you that much. Are you a huge mammal or something? That guy in that video was literally watching a video. He was so impacted that he was still able to do that...unreal.
