My pet peeve is having people with aisle or window seats try to claim the middle

armrests. Fortunately, whoever wants it more wins the battle and I usually want it more.

Also, I'm 5'5." Let me recline in peace. It's probably the only time in life where being a short man is an advantage.

My pet peeve is people who lean back during flights, especially if you're 5'4''

My pet peeve is people who complain about people leaning back on flights.

TNT's pet peeve is people who have money to fly

the discomfort my complaing causes doesn't last 3 1/2 hours though 😉

Haha I can’t argue with that logic...

Airplane seats should not recline

Frontier has seats that don't recline. Worst flight I've ever been on.

Or they should all be pre reclined.

They should be designed to recline with minimal impact on other passengers

This. To get the seat to recline the bottom of the seat should slide forward

My last flight was the first time I’ve had that issue

Why shouldn’t a 5’4” person recline? Isn’t their height irrelevant?

Paco

It's the backs that recline, not the legs.

You know you can recline too. Just saying.

If a person didn't have a right to recline, there wouldn't be a button to do so.

and If I didn't have a right to complain, there wouldn't be CougarBoard.

Complain away then and I'll continue to recline away.

Here's my guide for when to/not to recline:

So what do you do if the person behind you gently taps you and says:

Sorry to hear that. Have you tried reclining your own seat?

soupie

That doesn’t help their own knees. It actually might just make it worse.

Paco

They should probably pay more for more leg room then.
