my threshold is basically 'cross-country or greater' which works out to over about 4.5 hours. always upright for meal service, or you're terrible. - mafic Feb 13, 22:03 1
- (also any flight leaving between about 10pm and 6am is fair game regardless of length). -- nm - mafic Feb 13, 22:04
If it's not enough recline to keep my sleepy head from nodding forward, it's just being a jerk for negligible gains. -- nm - Max Feb 13, 21:30 1
- See I find the opposite. It's just enough recline that my head does not nod forward. -- nm - ty97 Feb 14, 05:18
The best comment on this I saw is that the two people are both victims of shitty airline seat spacing. - TWuG Feb 13, 21:26 3
- "Because I can" is what's ruining the world! - Reagen Feb 14, 02:50 1
  - You're not wrong. But some git deciding another passenger is the problem here and not seat pitch... - TWuG Feb 14, 04:29
- also those seats are generally the last to be assigned, and given to people on the most discounted fares. - mafic Feb 13, 22:15
I asked one guy to move back up an inch once. I couldn't focus on the screen. Other than that the seats aren't made for someone my height, and no am - . Feb 13, 21:07
Seatpuncher couldn't recline because he was at the back. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 20:46 8
- seatpuncher is a drama queen. -- nm - mafic Feb 13, 21:58 2
  - Seat Puncher is a drag queen. -- nm - Qale Feb 14, 05:55
  - see, if someone asked me nicely I'd like move it forward some; once they started punching I recline all the way back and microwave fish -- nm - Beaker Feb 14, 04:55
- I know, I'm speaking in general, because that video launched the general "should you recline" argument. - ty97 Feb 13, 20:48 4
  - I'm quite averse to the idea of sleeping on a plane, due to my snoring. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 20:49 2
    - I do kinda wonder if I snore on planes. I think my subconscious may be smart enough to stop me? Or I don't snore sitting up? -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 20:51
    - I always book my seat in the non snoring section -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 20:50
  - I think redeye flights I cannot get upset with a recliner -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 20:49
Okay that's it, I am voting Trump because of Ty's first board post. Fuck the world -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 20:46 8
- Ty97 always boards first! I’m tired of his elitism! -- nm - Mop Feb 13, 22:15
- No, not again! -- nm - Roger More Feb 13, 21:16
- Trump reclines his seat on flights Even flights that take less than an hour. -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 20:48 5
  - Stands on escalators. -- nm - Reagen Feb 14, 04:04
  - And probably unbuttons his pants. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 20:50 1
    - takes his shoes off and puts his bare feet on the armrest in front of him. -- nm - mafic Feb 13, 22:00
  - Trump doesn't recline so much as he can't sit upright. -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 20:49
  - He only does it because Putin does it -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 20:49
