Or the person who is not so hygenically inclinced reclines and you get a better view of all the funky stuff in their hair, not to mention a better shot of smelling them.
I almost never recline. The only exceptions are overnight transcons when the person behind me is reclined. I guess I am the weird one out of the bunch.
+1 here. I always, always ask the person behind me if I could recline a bit on transcons/international flights. One man gave me two Delta drink chits at the end of a flight for "being polite and considerate".
