Apparently we are all suppose to do synchronised seat reclining, so he is happy. Hey everybody #8 is the guy in front always reclining his seat.

The attendant came 'round and asked him politely to raise the seat for takeoff. Soon as we turned onto the active runway he dropped his seat back all the way... I mean ALL the way. Immediately I extended my arm. His button was still pushed so I was able to move the seat forward.. I slammed it so hard I'm pretty sure his head hit the seat in front of him. Fucker thought he'd lower his seat once he knew the attendants were buckled in for the roll. I regret not apologizing... to the guy two seats in front.

In some planes, it's worse than being in a regular seat. And besides, a bulkhead seat would now be in the area you have to pay more for. Assuming you can even change your seat. That's the latest trick I ran across. You have to pay to change seats at all. #22: More knee room with a bulkhead, less leg room. In some planes, it’s worse than being in a regular seat.

That would solve the problem altogether. I detest the attitude of those who say, "I paid for the seat so I am going to inconvenience you and recline" Sometimes I just put on my headphones, wedge my knee against the seatback and tap my foot to the beat. I'm white so this is often poorly timed thus even more annoying. Once the seat goes back up I stop.

That's why I'm saying the anger is being released to the wrong entity. Is not the guy who recline his chair, it's the friggin' airline. Start complaining about them. And no, I'm not short either. #14 it’s been a long time since they cared shit about passengers. That’s why I’m saying the anger is being released to the wrong entity.

That said, I do always check to make sure some schlub hasn't wedged his laptop screen into the seat back. I don't want to be responsible for cracking someone's laptop!

Wait until you have to pay an additional fee if you want your seat to recline, or if you want a window with a shade. Or if you want or your air vent to work, or the plane to depart on-time (Insert credit card here to purchase!). You know, I should work for an airline. I'd nickel and dime you mofo's to death!

But, ah, if people start using shoelaces like that, then the airlines will ban shoelaces, and then we'll all have to board planes in sandals or plastic foot baggies. #5—Perhaps a shoelace would work just as well.

They cram the seats in together to the minimum specified by the FAA. As for anyone who would actually do what is suggested in the video I have two statements. 1. There are very few items on the airplane itself that can cut that strap when it is in flight. The terminal maintenance crew at the next destination will not enjoy having to come aboard to cut that strap put in place by some a-hole. 2. Stay tuned to see the next video installment by fi5e titled "How I Deserved the Beatdown I Got At 30,000 Feet By Some Motherfu#% For Doing This Because I'm A Fu*&in Puss". I am sure that this new video will be posted before his arraignment in federal court and then used by the FAA in part of their new "How Not To Instigate Air Rage" program.
