I'm in the 100% right to recline to. I do my best to soften the blow though. Sometimes, it will take me as long as a minute or two to fully recline the 3 or so inches that I am afforded.

OTOH, I've had seats that as soon as you put flesh to button, they act as if possessed; they snap back like the seatback was on some kind of a steam fired piston.
