That happened to me when I had an ipad in a standing case and the seat in front cranked back - trapping then pinging the tablet across me and by neighbour's lap.
Though the ipad itself wasn't damaged, a couple of glasses didn't make it, and required the steward to try to brush up whatever fragments of glass they could.
I feel that airlines are a microcosm of "Do you care about who you actions might affect?" - similar to the "Do you return the cart to the corral" test at supermarkets - are you willing to put even the smallest bit of effort to significantly improve other people's experiences?
- VTimofeenko 9mo agoAnd if you are the airline the answer is a resounding "no"
- nebula8804 9mo agoThe airline is not a human being. It is an imaginary construct.
- Dylan16807 9mo agoAnd yet it still gets to participate and answer the question in the worst way.
- nebula8804 9mo agoOnly in some messed up parts of the world.
- Dylan16807 9mo agoAirlines pick out what seats they want and how to space them in most of the world, don't they? That's the root cause of the suffering here. The actions with the strongest ill effects.
- spydr 9mo ago> do you care about who your actions might affect This one surprises me every time I fly. When I have the aisle seat I can be up and out in 10 seconds. It seems to make like everyone else will plop down , place down 3 different liquids on the tray and then take a nap. When I ask to use the bathroom I end up feeling like a nuisance
- mywittyname 9mo ago> When I ask to use the bathroom I end up feeling like a nuisance It's your right to ask to use the bathroom whenever you need. And others have the right to use that little tray for their stuff when they want. (while allowed by the airline, of course)
- dewey 9mo agoYou are describing exactly that phenomenon. Of course it's your "right" to do that technically, but is it a nuisance to others? Yes. Just like smoking next to others (when allowed), or reclining your seat 100% in economy. Technically it's your right to just that.
- lostlogin 9mo agoPeople asserting their rights is a significant portion of the reason half the population seems angry.
- vasco 9mo agoAirlines shouldn't have reclining seats, it's bad design. Blaming people for the bad design is stupid. I never recline and still blame it on the design. Stupid people exist, you should design for that.
- nostromo 9mo agoI think reclining is appropriate at night only. If it were up to me, they would be locked upright during the day.
- DaanDL 9mo agoNight or day is a vague concept on an 11 hour flight
- baxtr 9mo agoIt wouldn't surprise me if Ryanair had reclining seats that reclined only if you paid for it.
- foota 9mo ago"Your neighbor is trying to recline, outbid them to stop them..."
- darkwater 9mo agoDon't give them ideas!
- rrr_oh_man 9mo agoOne verification can to you, sir, for this chuckle.
- foota 9mo agoThank you sir for the one shiny object.

- haritha-j 9mo agoI actually quite liek yanair's no frills no recline design. For some reason it feels less clusterphobic to me. it just feels more spacious and roomy, despite the absence of space.
