Too bad...live with it. Recline in front of me, and your seat goes back up...end of story.

Just curious, what is it about a FC seat reclining that you dislike? During mealtime it shouldn't happen, but at other times . . . ?

I don't appreciate someone's head in my lap...yes..even in F. I also don't appreciate people slamming their seats back and disrupting my laptop. I have also had one instance where I found it impossible to put my tray table back due to the fact that some "jerk" reclined his seat. Yes...his seat went back up very quickly!

Not with me it doesn't.. I GUARANTEE that ... and I won't have to even take you down

remember there is always someone bigger and dumber than you who will challenge you

My guess is you are all bark and no bite

Perhaps now would be a good time to suggest that we all tone things down a bit.

If *I* were pushed back upright by the person beind me and I couldn't politely convey to the person behind me that this was unacceptable I'd simply ring my FA call button or make a quick trip to the galley.

Trojan,your guess is innaccurate. I fear no one. You are correct in that there is always someone bigger and dumber but that does not matter to me. Your seat will go up. You can take that to the bank.
As for the tattler, I would deal with you after we deplaned.

This, of course, would be after the police dealt with you after you deplaned.

Actually, the police could care less. Even after 9/11. One guy tried to report me and the police just laughed. They looked at the guy as though he was a snitch.

...it's attitudes like this that make me hate flying. I'll stay away from the personal attacks, but believe me if I were flying with someone with this kind of attitude, I would "just sit there with there (sic) seat up."

dth,

I think you are correct. The person doing this has no class at all and isn't even worth responding to.

I found the fix with out getting confrontational. After some JERK rode from TPA to DTW in FC with his seat back in my face and him setting up working on his laptop or eating, I now just ask for a bulkhead seat. Problem fixed. BTW I do not put my seat back and if I want to sleep I just lean against the window.

This is not difficult.
