Reclining on an airplane? and other flying etiquette

You are very close to discovering the point that you've been arguing against.
LOL. Reclining today on my 4 hour plus International Flight later today. My purchased seat has that feature. And I won’t apologize for using it to alleviate back pain. Just admit you hate old people and don’t have any compassion. Respect for elders is a thing of the past. Look at the disparaging comments like “OK Boomer”.
Bet your parents and grandparents are proud of your attitude.
You should have started acting like you have a foot fetish. That probably would have got her to move it quickly.
Is there a button on my chair? Does that button cause my seat to recline? The button is there for a reason, therefore, I am reclining.
*I don't actually recline. Usually I manage to somehow pass out sitting upright, or on my wife's shoulder if she's on the same flight as I am.

OK, Boomer.
Your posts reflect what people hate about our generation. I wish you would just sit back & read them as if a 20-something wrote them. You'd be pissed as all get out at that person. You're constantly bleating about respect and compassion, and show none of it yourself.
I feel sorry for you. Despite your apparent unlimited wealth, you don't seem to be a very happy person.
I let some random guy sleep on my shoulder the last time flying back from Vegas. It looked like he hadnt slept in 3 days so didnt want to wake him up.
4 spaces after a period is something I've never seen before. Even for people who grew up learning on a typewriter.
Here are two lines I thought were funny from your post:
...I won’t apologize for using it...
Respect for elders is a thing of the past.
You want me to allow you to put your seat into my knees...then you want me to respect you because you're a boomer? That is the most boomer boomerism in the history of boomers who use boomer boomerisms.
ME. ME. ME. Millennials. Known for their selfishness. Disrespect elders. Glad my Children learned respect and consideration for those older. You sound like the prick that doesn’t offer a seat for an older person. Texting and self absorbed. Probably kick your grandparents out of a chair so you can sit.
Always. Grandma knows her spot is on the floor.
Your last post was about how YOU were going to recline YOUR seat with no consideration for the person behind YOU. Surely you see the hypocrisy? I've learned respect is earned. I earn people's respect through my actions...like assisting elderly folks, treating them with dignity, and how I wish to be treated. I'm not going to bow down and kiss your loafers just because you were born into a generation that sent this country into a debt tailspin.
I am an elderly person. Have had several operations in the last couple years. So NO. You don’t treat the elderly with respect. You are only concerned about YOURSELF. Typical selfish Millenial. Wanting me to suffer and not recline a bit to alleviate back pain. So you irritate and aggravate an old person in front of you because they recline? WHY would you assume the person in front of you does not need to recline? Old people need to do that. But you fail to even consider that and express your displeasure to accommodate a physically challenged person. Sound like a helluva guy. Your parents must be so proud.
The People responsible for the spiraling national debt are the REPUBLICANS. Since I didn’t vote for those pricks then I am not responsible. If you voted Republican then blame your own miserable self.
Stormin, maybe it's time to take a break for the day. You're not just casting stones right now, you're full on chucking those stones. You're really worked up and maybe you oughtta just take a couple of deep breaths and calm down.
And for God's sake, two spaces MAX after a period.
I help seniors all the time, but I'm not going anywhere near this grumpy *******.
How many spaces are allowed after a semicolon?

Millenials are known as the most selfish generation. You are an obvious Millenial.
If you pay for a subway ticket and are sitting, you are allowed to stay sitting while some old lady gets on and has to stand because the seats are full. That doesn't mean a more considerate option doesn't exist.
Pretty much everyone on here is saying you have the right to do it, but it is considerate to A) minimize the level of recline if you can, B) recline slowly and/or give the person behind you a heads up if you need to recline all the way. It never hurts to at least pretend to give a rats ass about your fellow travelers.
Hell, if some disgusting slob that hasn't showered for three days or brushed his teeth gets on board next to you and pulls out a stank ass McDonald's quarter pounder with extra onions, isn't that a little inconsiderate?
The point is there's a lot of real estate between what you have the right to do and being a traveler that shows modest consideration for other travelers. If you have a condition, you need to recline, and pretty much everybody will understand that. But instead you just start off with saying it's your space, you're using it all, you're not saying anything to the person behind you, and people suggesting you do otherwise are pricks.
Give it a rest. You aren't going to convince anyone in this abortion of a thread. Just leave it instead of bickering in it.
