Glad I'm not the only one. It has become my leading irritant during flights, followed only by people who won't lower their shades for movies. (And they always seem to be the ones who fall asleep anyway.)

At least some of us are aware of how bad the recline is and I know I won't ever recline into someone's lap. I often wonder if I asked politely if the person in front of me would pull it up a bit, but I never ask.

I don't know about the other planes, but it seems to be the 737-900s that have the worst problem. I could be wrong.
