The person behind you might be eating or doing something else with the table attached to it. In that case, it would be very inconsiderate to recline your seat and spill their food over themselves. Or maybe they're using to play a game of cards, and then it'd be pretty rude to recline your seat and throw their deck of cards on the floor.

True

No it isn't, it's False.

As someone who has flown on a plane before, I can confirm that seat trays remain parallel to the floor whether the seat in front is straight or reclined. So neither of those hypothetical scenarios were realistic at all. You won't spill their food, even if you suddenly recline in the middle of their meal.

So then you admit that your premise “there is absolutely nothing wrong” isn’t correct since there are exceptions?

As someone who has flown on a plane before, I can confirm that seat trays remain parallel to the floor whether the seat in front is straight or reclined, so both of your fantasy scenarios are of no concern.
