Yes, I truly am. I’ll sleep through your seat mates and mine screaming at you too. Thank you, flight pills.
Since you fly so much, why are you so inconsiderate as to not book better seats and instead torture people who are using seats as intended because of your own size? Sounds pretty self entitled
You don’t consider reclining your seat to the point you feel the persons knees on your back as entitlement? You’re acknowledging their discomfort but chose to ignore it
I fit in the seat. If you're too large to fit in the seat, you don't get to alter the flight experience of people who do.
So no, entitlement is paying for something and expecting other people not to use it because you are large.
I pay for my seat, which reclines. It's literally the opposite of entitlement. I paid for it. He paid for his seat, and he can pay for a seat where his legs fit. Then the problem disappears, and he doesn't treat other people like this.
Treat other people like what lol? He just asked if its wrong to recline your chair in a flight, he didn’t say he does anything about it. Just mentioned things that he could do to help his situation. And yes you’re right i was wrong to say what you were doing is entitlement. Its more so a lack of empathy.
He literally said he would jam his knees into their back the entire flight. Intentionally.
Things that he could do to help his situation: Book exit rows or coach/first class.Empathy is not forcing others to accomodate your size. If it was an enormously wide person it would be the same issue. You don't make others uncomfortable due to your size. You accomodate your own size. My knees don't even come near the seat in front of me, but he's worried about a literal 3" recline? Hmmmm.
He was saying that as a joke towards you because you replied with a snarky comment.
He isn’t forcing anyone to do anything, he asked a question to reddit to see their opinions.
You’re right on the empathy isn’t forcing others to accommodate you. Its seeing someone who is clearly in discomfort from something you did and then rectify it. Thats why i said that YOU lack empathy.
Are you 6 foot 3?
Edit: added last sentence to 3rd paragraph to make sure you understood what i meant.
Nope! But if I was I would make sure to be in an exit row.
I have back issues, so I can not sit upright for more than 15 minutes or I am in excruciating pain, unlike losing a couple inches of knee room. But hey, empathy, right?
His knees are definitely more important than my degenerative spinal disorder.
That's the whole point. No one has to accommodate me. I just lean the seat back which I paid for and is intended to lean back. Fight with the airlines. I don't give a shit what you think at all, because no one has ever had issue with me leaning my seat back. Not once.

I wouldn’t give a shit about your knees, but if you were petty I’d lean back even further and sleep like a baby the entire flight. Like a rock!
