It is if you want to bring it that far. What bugs me the most on a red eye is when they turn the seat belt sign off they have to make that f&$king announcement. I know it's in every airlines FOM. But jeez, the FAA ain't going to be there that time of night. If you have to say something keep it as brief as possible. "Seat belt off" and that's it!

As annoying as a light may be, the passenger has a right to use his own light. 515am departure means it's pretty much morning and people are going to be waking up if they aren't already (they got to the airport, didn't they?). The time it's really annoying is on a 10-11pm redeye that lands on the east coast at 5-7am. This is when most people are trying to sleep. The guy who crushed the light is intimidation behavior. If I was a paying FC passenger, I don't think I'd take that too well.
This sounds just like the "knee defender" debacle. When you buy a seat, you get the right to what that seat does including its recline. Putting a device that hinders that changes the function of the seat, isn't STC, and frankly just gonna **** people off.

It's PUBLIC transportation which means you need to be considerate of other people.
Paid for your ticket doesn't mean you live in your own bubble and can do whatever regardless.

And the problem with seat recline is not the pax, but the seat pitch.

Not so much tool but more of a: Are You Seeing This Shieeet??
05:15 Departure on an RJ, still dark outside. One row in front of me in First, rough looking (muscular, tattoos, scars, possible Veteran) guy on 2D & business traveler looking older guy on 2F.
F/A's are done doing their thing and all cabins light comes off, and I do mean all, as in pitch black back there. Business dude decides to be the ONLY person on the entire plane to turn his reading light on, because why not. Guy didn't even have a newspaper out. The rough guy is not having it. NOPE, not today. So he immediately reaches up and fumbles around to turn it off, not finding the button like most people do.
After about 10seconds of twisting random things, the lens cover falls off. He proceeds to finally turn off the light by simply CRUSHING the bulb with his fingers. Deliberately. I closed my jaw shut and went to sleep. Commuting sucks.
SAVAGE.
I did exchange pleasantries with the guy on the jetbridge. Very nice bloke actually.

I hate lights when it's nap time.

Actually, it's an American problem (epidemic?). I'm sure you've seen the overweight and obese statistics today? It's pretty horrifying.
