I've often wondered whether more seats are broken from people sitting in them, or people behind them using it as a fulcrum to wedge them out of their seats.
I've actually asked people behind me "what the fuck?" when they've done that. I don't recline my seat in your lap, don't fucking yank on it to stand up, your damn seat has armrests just like mine and I know they work because that's what I use...
Here's where I might be related to Broome, because I could see him doing this... You yank on my seat? I'm laying in your lap... BOOOM, back goes the seat... And then I sit up, or lean forward and go back to watching my iPad, with no regard to whether I'm actually using the seat reclined.
That's easy to say when your commute is to the front lawn to yell at kids to get off of it. Some of us have to go to work on the left coast.
Professional reflex: I was just picturing an engineering test for seat and seat anchoring resilience....
You guys have never pushed the recliner button while someone was holding on to the back of your seat? I thought that was a thing. Maybe it was just me.
I might've once or twice... Usually only when the plane is boarding and they're leaning on my seat while waiting in line.
It pays to keep some gas on board when flying. Just in case the person in front of you decides their head needs to be in your lap, you can disabuse them of the notion without saying a word.
