I don't mind when people recline, and I will also recline if I'm so inclined (get it?).
But when I do, usually on evening or early morning flights where I want to nap, I make a point of looking over my shoulder to make sure the person behind me doesn't have anything (including themselves) in the way, and then I ease my way back veeeeeerry slowly.
On the flip side, I actually broke a pair of headphones (and almost my face) one time because I was trying to plug them into the AVOD at the exact moment the person in front of me slammed back at 500 mph. Half surprised I didn't sprain a finger.
