I've never had an airline seat that reclined more than about 3 inches from the original position, except in first class, and there's plenty of room up there.

I have.


I plan on doing it again.
Instead of being rude, why not try to get a seat assignment in back of one of the non reclining seats. Also you could try first class.

Have you seen these little gadgets?

The original Knee Defender - travel gadgets accessory - airplane legroom, DVT - travel accessories

Which cause wars like this:

United flight diverts over 'Knee Defender' fight

I'm really starting to think that if they are going to pack people in like cattle, they should just remove the ability to recline the seats, period. My husband is 6'1 with very long legs -- air travel is miserable for him, because his hip to knee length is longer than usual. We pay extra for extra leg room, when we can, but sometimes, we get stuck -- and almost always behind a 6 year old who thinks it's fun to play with the seat. :-/ One time, my husband got up, stood in the aisle, and made eye contact with the mother of a chair-happy youngster (she had her ear plugs in and was happily oblivious) and said, nicely, "M'am, if you can't control your child, should I call the captain?" The kid was immediately dealt with. The mother glared, but at least my husband didn't end up with any more bruises.

Anyone who has a reclining seat should be allowed to recline that seat. If the person behind doesn't like it, tough. Maybe they should buy a business class seat next time

No way! They would probably beat me up or something. I just roll my eyes because it's obnoxious.
