I'd say reclining your seat and using your own seat light is perfectly reasonable usage. "Considerate of other people" so if the person behind a guy is too tall or too fat, and they have a problem with a seat recline, the guy needs to sacrifice his comfort for theirs?

And the problem with seat recline is not the pax, but the seat pitch.
Actually, it's an American problem (epidemic?). I'm sure you've seen the overweight and obese statistics today? It's pretty horrifying.

If it was close to the water he could have been a ferry captain.

AK, no hat though I'm sure he'd wished he brought it after they said no discount

Definite TOTD if not of the year sighting, well done.

We do need some other info to make a final ruling. Was the wife/girlfriend attempting to lick her nose behind said TOTD while flirting with the scruffy underemployed cashier attendant with the man-bun?

Was said contender wearing his Maui Jims on 2-year payment plan?
