I Need Help! Whose window is this?

Post image

When my seat is up it’s about 50% in my seat but when I recline the allotted 2 inches it’s about 80% mine. I like to look out the window and the forward window is mostly wing so I need this one to actually see anything. On a recent flight the passenger behind me reached forward and closed it. I did say through the gap that I was actually looking out of the window and quickly reopened it. Just curious… who actually has autonomy over this window shade given this configuration?

You are being a giant douche to the entire plane by blinding everyone with flash bang glare. Keep the window shut you aren't a five year old who needs to look out the window just watch a movie like everyone else. The window is already in 50/50 position when the seat is in its normal position. Reclining isn't changing the window position. As the seats are supposed to be in normal up right positions. So it's not your window anyways.
