I can't believe I'm arguing this point, but the logic of slamming forward is that the feet fall off of the headrest. It's the immediate slam back that keeps them from returning.
...or, yeah, you could walk up to the galley and ask the FA to give the pax behind you some verbal whiplash. Thing is, I've found that pax who have the FA intervene are typically subjected to abuse the rest of the flight through kicking the back of the seat, pulling down on the headrest to stand up every half hour of so, etc. If it can be solved without a FA, that's how I'll handle it.
