I think we've had a thread on this before but 4F today on AS5 was especially annoying...as she was trimming her nails while waiting for takeoff during the morning rush hour- as we were #11.

When I'm in Row 1 and the person behind me uses my headrest as a handrail to help them get in/out of their seat. With the additional legroom, I don't think using my seat in this fashion is necessary...less so on a redeye when I'm sleeping.

I do tend to bump reclined pax when moving out of window seats if they are in full recline- not much we can do unless AS increases seat pitch.

I actually never recline my seat. The reason I say this is a F class peeve is because there is enough legroom not to have to do this...whereas in coach, it's expected.

Those headrest grabbers are definitely annoying.
However, I'll see your grabbers and raise you the cretins who try to use one of my F armrests as an ottoman for their bare feet. They don't 'try' for long once I've noticed.

That is foul. I've yet to encounter that...though usually I am on one of the ANC-SEA redeyes when I get my F upgrade.

In row 1, there's nobody in front of you who can recline into your space, so it's kind of unfair that you get to recline into row 2 without any fear of reciprocity. If row 2 reclines, then row 3 can do likewise and pay it rearward by reclining into row 4. Row 4 is the one row that may recline with impunity since it only encroaches in Y, which may as well be another dimension.

I was hoping you'd ask. Allow me to explain:

I have never had a foot encroach on my armrest, thankfully...I thought bare feet on the bulkhead wall was bad.
Not particularly a pet peeve, but amusing to me: the dance of who's first/next for the lav in F since "no line may form."
