Opinion: I'm a flight attendant. You need to get over your reclining seat rage

    It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that so many people are so unbelievably thoughtless about those around them and the impacts their actions may have on them. In other words, self-centered. See what I did there?

  I’ve never raged at anyone out loud, and never will, but I’d be happy if they got rid of reclining seats, or at the very least has a master control to make sure all seats are upright during meal service. I silently curse at people a lot in my head. It’s very difficult to eat when the person in front me is reclined, and if they recline while the tray table is in use for anything, it’s generally a bad time. I’ve had it wedge my tablet between the tray and seat and spill drinks. I won’t get a beverage on a plane without a cap anymore, not unless I plan to drink it quickly without setting it down. I also won’t use any kind of device on the tray table. Meals only. At the end of the article it basically says to pay your way out of this, but short of moving up to business class, the problem doesn’t get solved. It seems like a high price to pay for a general lack of awareness from other people that it’s a shared space.

    some people are very aware, and actually get a lift from the confrontation.
