I Paid for My Seat, I’ll Recline It As Much As I Want


I Paid for My Seat, I’ll Recline It As Much As I Want

I fully reclined my seat on a 9-hour flight. The very pregnant woman behind me started pushing my seat and nagging that she didn’t have enough legroom. I told her, “If you want luxury, buy business!” She went quiet, and some time later, I realized she wasn’t there anymore.

When I asked the stewardess, she said they had moved the woman to an empty business class seat to avoid further issues. Then, as we landed, the flight attendant came and said, “Sir, check your bag.” When I opened it, I was shocked when I discovered that someone had placed a business class amenity kit inside.

The kit included a pair of earplugs, an eye mask, toiletries, and a note. The note read: “Next time, try a little kindness. It costs nothing and makes the journey smoother for everyone. Thank you for inspiring the kindness of strangers to elevate me to a more comfortable seat. Safe travels.”
I still stand by what I did. I paid for my seat and have the right to recline it; otherwise, they wouldn’t design the seats like that.

Do you think I was wrong?
