Actually, Reclining Your Seat On A Flight Is Ok

The internet is going crazy with talks about reclining your seat on a plane. When it comes to reclining your seat on a plane, there’s basically 3 schools of thought.

1. Recline away, my good bitch. I want you to be as comfy as a kitten in a comforter.
2. You recline that seat and I’ll skull fuck you.
3. Situation dictates. Gotta do a turkey peek to see who’s behind you. Coast is clear? Get nuts.

As for me, I fall into camp three. If there’s a big of fat boy sitting behind me, I wont recline. If the person behind me is enjoying a nice glass of coffee on national coffee day, I wont recline. If it’s a tiny baby of a man sitting behind me, I’m getting as comfortable as I can.

Additionally, I think recline rules apply only in basic economy seats. If you’re in economy plus or first class, you’re good. If you’re in the way back with the trash, you have different rules. If you’re sitting by the airplane bathroom, honestly, you deserve everything coming to you. You cant complain back there. It’s your fault and you did this to yourself.

And tall people, no one else gives a shit that you’re tall. I’m 6 foot and 220. If you’re any bigger than that, that’s on you. Everyone else shouldn’t have to have stiff backs because you drank milk and grew.

Again, I dont always recline. I recline just a little tiny bit so I’m not sitting straight up the entire flight. It’s like letting a little wind out on a plane when in reality you have a big ole fart bubble. I’m not sitting there with a full bubble because you don’t wanna smell one-quarter of a fart. Just not doing it. If that makes me a dickhead, so be it.

If you recline right in my eyeball, I wont say anything. It’s your seat. Get nuts with it. In fact, the person in front of me right now is reclined and I think she is a lovely person. She’s enjoying a nice book and is kicked back a little bit. I hope she’s enjoying her flight, and that you are enjoying your morning before heading out to get a little macaroni and cheese from Panera.

Have a Saturday, friends.
