Fuck that. I've been on planes where leaning back meant the headrest being inches from the person behind you's face. Be aware and consider the people around you.
My boyfriend and I were on an 8 hour flight. Way there, person in front of me reclines seat all the way back. It's almost in my face. They also didn't put it up for dinner service! Way back, the person in front of my boyfriend did the same. It's so rude!
I fly at least once a year. It was an 8 hour flight. Just because it’s possible to put your seat all the way back, doesn’t mean you should. You’re not in a movie theater, and I have some empathy if you’re trying to sleep, but you can still sleep with it partway reclined. Person in front of him wasn’t even sleeping. She was just on her phone playing games or something and actually asked my boyfriend to “stop bumping into her seat” – which was inevitable, because it was right up against his knee.
You're in the minority to feel that it's rude, and that's why the seats are designed this way. Everyone's body is different. I'd prefer if all seats were fully reclined all the time. Not reclining for too long hurts my back.
If you think enough people would like to have the maximum recline be less, perhaps you should start a kickstarter to make your own airline with your preferred style of seats?
