the marginal increase in your comfort is not worth the significant decrease in comfort for the person behind you. you are selfish, entitled and inconsiderate - basically, a bad person. it is really not that hard to sit upright like a normal person for a few hours

get off my plane

it's obvious you dont fly, because the seat leaning doesnt move the tray, and the place where your knees would be if you're tall doesn't move either.



the only way it encroaches on you is if youre fat as poo poo, and in that case you're already encroaching on the universe

Actually it's not really a big deal when a seat leans back against you, unless perhaps you weigh 500 pounds

It's best just to go into any flight with the mental attitude that it will be loving terrible in every way you can imagine and probably some new ways you don't even know of yet.

That way you get to be pleasantly surprised when it's only mostly horrible, or comforted by your grim foreknowledge when it likely is all horrible.

i'd be 100% okay if airline seats couldn't recline, at least for domestic flights

gently caress people's comfort no way in hell I'm not cramming as much human-meat into this air-tube as possible, let the plebs fight over it as they please.

lol it's the same thing with tipping.

gently caress paying employees a living wage, make them squabble with my customers over a few bucks instead.

I used to fly a lot & I would never move my seat back but instead I would put earplugs in, close my eyes & pretend none of it was happening. Denial is a perfectly acceptable way to treat an air travel experience. Except for the taking off & landing part because it's fun to look out the window.

i figure the types who lean their seats back are probably gibbis goons already, judging from their lack of awareness, consideration and social manners. this way, maybe they'll see the errors of their ways.

hearing the engine spin up and it just keeps getting higher and higher in pitch and then the first 3 seconds of liftoff are pretty ok but the rest of it is completely poo poo

especially the part where everyone claps when the plane lands after a completely uneventful flight

did you think it was going to crash and we were doomed were it not for the skillfull courageous captain?

i only ever saw the clapping thing in europe

but agreed, the takeoff is pretty fun just because of the smooth and linear acceleration. you don't get that anywhere else really because of transmissions and gearing.

Clapping is a socially acceptable way people deal with overwhelming emotions. I think when people do that it's more from the relief that they feel upon landing. A lot of people are scared of flying even though it's statistically safer than most modes of travel.
