I’m 6’6” and my knees push against the seat in front of me even when not reclined.

I have a right to be able to travel without you causing me discomfort, and that’s a bit stronger than you having the privilege of getting more comfortable.

If you are the kind of person who asserts this “right” when someone asks you not to, you’re kind of a dick.

I need to lean back slightly or I won't be able to walk straight when we land, so I'm gonna need to do that two inch recline.

The airlines are our enemy, not each other.

My kneecaps need to be in one piece as well.

Yeah, and that is why I get the row in front of the emergency exit row when possible to reduce the chance of fighting for space.

Nah homie, I'm also tall. Airplanes are airplanes, book the exit row. Your right to travel comfortably ends with the right to the same for the people around you. If you want more room, pay for the exit row.

New rule: only six tall people allowed per flight.

What if I get back pain if I’m not able to recline? I think your discomfort takes the backseat to my back pain (no pun intended).
