Of course you have the right to, but it's a rude thing to do. And how do you figure, the space you recline into is "YOUR" space? Isn't it MY legroom?

I'm on a K fare from SEA to JFK right now. I got UG'd and got row 7 seat C. I had no choice in the matter. Whatever. I don't want this to seem like a DYKWIA rant. I'm happy to have gotten my complimentary UG.
However, maybe DL IT can link in your preferred seating preferrences to the UG list.
Everytime the coach lav is used, which is every 4 minutes, a very annoying noise and vibration is felt in my seat. I know, whoa is me. Never mind the constant slamming of the lav door. I'd rather have a quiet seat in coach.

No, it's not rude. It's rude to assume the person in front of you should sit upright the entire flight. The airline allows for recline, which means they define the space the seat reclines into as belonging to the person up front. If you don't like it, select a bulkhead.

If everyone did everything they had the "right" to do, this world would be a terrible place.

Yes, it really is. The guy behind you can also recline, but that does nothing to help the loss of knee room. I have about 1.2cm of knee room with the seat not reclined. If you recline onto my knees, your seat will be prodded and jiggled for the duration, because I need to move my legs around. Your choice if you want to come along for the ride! Fully-reclined seats also making it nearly impossible for the guy behind you to use a laptop in his seat.
