I was stunned to read that there are people here complaining about the passenger in front of them reclining their seat ("into a laptop"). Chances are that was me! I recline that uncomfortable seat the moment I can and keep it reclined as long as I can. That's the small degree of freedom I'm allowed in that ridiculous sardine can and you expect me to sit upright for hours so you can be more comfortable? A passenger has every right to recline that seat and I can't believe there are seasoned travelers here complaining about it!
