Usually I like to take the aisle seat so that my legs get comfortable and since I don't stand when the plane lands, I can tell some people get mad sometimes. lol
Is it okay to recline your seat on an airplane?

How about the fucktards that take their shoes off?
Or the ones that sleep leaning sideways and their legs drift into my lane.

all I'm saying is that, the guy from a rural town in Bangladesh who takes his shoes off and eats his Indian food in peace in order to be comfortable shouldn't get hate if I can't hate on the person reclining their seat on my knees.

Flying is now about what it was riding a Greyhound bus years ago (I know they are worse now). Little frills or comfort because people want cheap seats. I don’t know that the companies do a good job, either. I think most people have a horror story about bad service, being lies to, etc... And people don’t have the manners they did in th past and air travel is more crow than ever. Lots of problems.

Deal with it. I stand up ASAP, #1 yes time and wanting to get off and beat the crowd a bit, mostly #2, my legs and mainly my knees are fucking killing me at that point.

Beat the crowd? You’re in a metal tube in which ppl get off row by row.

Yeah sometimes I end up meeting the same people who want to beat the crowd at the carousel. So I'm usually like "what was the fuss about if I'm gonna end up getting my bag before you anyway?"

It’s ok to recline. I only recline when I am in economy plus or first so I know there is enough room behind me but the seats recline for a reason.

I expect the people in front of me to recline, and I recline.
It doesnt bother me in the slightest.

Or they stand real fast and get stuck in between the crowd and have to stand and wait when they could've sat and waited.

I've only been on 1 flight where the seats reclined enough to make a difference one way or the other (on that one if the seat was fully reclined it interfered with the seat back tray table being able to open), but personally think its fine. If you don't want to be sardined then spring for the larger options (Premium Economy, Business, First, etc.). If you can't afford better options then suck it up, buttercup. The weak suffer what they must, this is just your lot in life.

Not all airlines and seating classes do. It's not like I stand up to piss people off (and not that I would stop because someone has a pet peeve about it). Pretty petty thing to worry about.

Yes all airlines exit like that. Airlines don’t really have a “exit” boarding strategy but every airline and every plane I’ve ever rode on has exited row by row starting in the front and working their way back.
I’d love to hear about these airlines you travel on tho that do it differently

I'd love to tell you, but there are tricks to flying that you can't just pressure someone to reveal. Think what you want, call me what you want. But you can 100% plan an 'exit' that is not just wait row by row, and you do have times where you need to get up, grab your carry-on stuff that is not always within a compartment perfectly placed right next to your seat.
Sorry to break it to you, but you will need to deal with it for life on this one.

Per my initial post:
Your 'exit' strategy of standing up and pushing your way to the front of an airplane isn't really a strategy. If everyone did that, it would be anarchy. You're just an asshole who thinks your destination is more important than all the other passengers. Newsflash - It's not.

All that is still worth not havng my legs crushed behind the seat in front of me. Also, I've only really had an issue with the beverage/food cart like maybe 3 times. Passengers walking by have never really affected me. They usually just avoid my leg.

I never said I push my way to the front.
What's next, you're going to blame me for that traumatic experience when you were 10, when an old lady with an over-sized purse whipped you in the face while your nose was buried in your nintendo DS? Give me a break.
Cry all you want. I'm going to stand up on the airplane when possible and I feel I need to. You can sit in your seat until everyone leaves, pouting and complaining to the flight attendants.

You can stretch one leg for short moments here and there LOL! And that's already 50% better.

Here is an exact quote: Think what you want, call me what you want. But you can 100% plan an 'exit' that is not just wait row by row,
What do you do? Open the emergency exit? You're back tracking and moving goal posts at this point. Just stop.
