FYI, the last row in F typically doesn't recline much. I'd stay with how you booked things previously as this doens't happen much. You might want to work on being more assertive too. I'd have nipped this in the bud easy.
I disagree slightly about making it an issue. I was recently on a trans-con and the person behind me was kicking the back of my seat the entire time. A little over an hour into the flight the person got up to use the lav and it was at that time that I discovered that they had cerebral palsy or some other motor skills disorder. I am not saying that something should not be said, but one should approach it in a diplomatic manner so as to not end up with ostrich egg on their face.
