Because about half the time the response is extremely uncivil, so people are afraid to try the civil approach. So people do just as you say: treat humans like humans. Since humans are largely evil, that results in the behavior we see.
- ghaff 9y agoIt's not that humans are largely evil but about asking people to be less comfortable based on your own preference. Don't recline. Move to a non-preferred seat so I can sit next to my girlfriend. Etc. In some cases this may be reasonable but they're the sort of negotiation I prefer not to get into on a Plane where you're implicitly the bad guy if you say no.
- Markoff 9y agoit's not about my preference if you hit me with your reclined seat it's like saying I am making smoker less comfortable based on my own preference that I wanna breathe clean air, he is disrupting clean enviroment, you are disrupting good relations by reclining, I have no problem to not recline for person behind me, because once you do it everyone behind you have to do it to gain a little space the first person who started these selfishly took
- sanswork 9y agoIt's not like that at all in this case the person in front of you has paid for that space you are occupying. It was never your space to begin with.
- Markoff 9y agono, you buy seat with space for your legs, if someone is taking my space for legs he is taking something I paid for they paid for space in front of their seat up to back of the seat in front of them
- sanswork 9y agoThey paid for the space taken up when the seat reclined if your legs don't fit in that space they you need to buy another seat or pressure airlines to start better serving people of your size. It's not the person in front of you who is at fault it is everyone that has ever done a ticket search and sorted from lowest price to highest.
- Markoff 9y agoi am no special person, i am pretty skinny so they have low fuel expenses on me compared to some short fat people and i have no problem to travel with reasonable polite people who won't recline seat for someone much taller seeing behind them but ok, let's stop being polite and charge people per kg of weight if we do this already with baggage, at least fat people will have motivation to stop eating, not sure what unhealthy i did that i grew tall and should handle ignorant people reclining seats
- sanswork 9y agoThere is nothing impolite about using a space you paid for. I don't see how charging by weight would improve your situation any. You're still trying to fly in a seat that doesn't fit your body.
- Markoff 9y agowell hurting someone (by pushing your seat on their legs) unless it is necessary (which it is not in case of reclining, you can just sit as fine without reclining) is impolite by standards of most civilized countries but maybe in your country causing unnecessary discomfort to other person is being polite...
- sanswork 9y agoImposing on other people's space to save money is impolite to me.

- notyourwork 9y agoIs it evil or selfish? I think selfishness can be perceived as evil but I don't think people are intentionally evil to others. I think humans are inherently selfish which makes other's feel as though one's actions are evil. "Treat humans like humans" also is defined based on where and how you were raised.
