Maybe I find sitting in an unreclined airline seat extremely uncomfortable, to the point of causing me back pain?It's my position that reclining my seat is my God-given, unalienable right, and any device preventing me from doing so is intruding on my rights.I will routinely, and unapologetically, recline my seat to the furthest extent as soon as possible, and won't move it back to the upright position until the stewardess instructs me to. If that's a problem for someone sitting behind me, and they were to ask politely that I not do as such, I will comply with of courtesy and respect. However, any attempt to prevent me form reclining without prior consent will be met with complaints to the stewardesses, dirty looks, and any other assorted passive-aggressive behaviors I can come up with.If it's that big of a deal to you long-legged-mack-daddies, I'd suggest you sit only in exit rows or in the front row where there are no seats in front of you.
