” If airlines provide a reclining option “
Does your ticket say you are entitled to reclining seats? Didn’t think so.
If you want to annoy me by reclining your seat into my face I can annoy you back; wet, snotty sneezes to the back of your head, playing the drums on your seat top, tap my foot to a nice beat on the back of your seat; I mean, since you provided me with such a great surface to play the drums I’ll be happy to do so.
Everything I need to know about dealing with assholes on an airplane I learned from watching two years olds on airplanes.
