Yeh that old chestnut.
reclining what can I say. I always bring my seat upright for meals and don't put it back till after the trays are cleared. I think it's just polite and after countless times as a child being asked to do this anyway by he FA it kind of engrained.

Some people I have spoken to feel that you shouldn't recline on flights under 4 hours but to each their own.
i fly from SYD to bne a bit and never recline. Is so short anyway.
long flights I will recline once the lights go out to get some sleep.

I do admit I have fought for my space on one occasion. It was a SYD to bne flight middle afternoon in Y. The guy in front reclined his seat, I instantly pushed it back before he had let go of the button meaning his full recline became a not so much recline. The guy either didn't notice thinking the seat didn't go very far back or got the message that I wasn't having any of that. It's slack I know but if I can live through a 1 & 1/2 hour flight without reclining so can you.
 
I'm always astonished how people become suddenly dyslexic when they walk down the aisle, checking the row numbers. 1 starts at the front people, if you're in row 25 that's 25 rows to walk past. Not dawdle and sound out the numbers. And hold everyone up.

Depending on the config, you might end up at row 40 if you walk 25 rows down. :)
 
Bad example, but you get the idea. Actually you see the same thing when people look at parking signs. Restrictions and time seems not to sink in. But at least faffing round a parking sign doesn't hold up a planeful of people.

Thai A330- Row 11 is first row...

I got 11E in J and, if I didn't check the top, would probably be in economy before checking row numbers!

We have staff only and no parking signs at work. Makes not a jolt of difference. And when asked to move they always say "but I'm only here for a couple of minutes" and they don't consider that's long enough to cause an issue for us.

I parked at a Westfield yesterday, Warringah Mall. They have been considerate enough to paint large park bays for those with a disabled sticker. There was one just by where I was waiting for a space to come empty. Around the corner she comes and slips into the large SINGLE disabled park bay alongside the compact car already there. So close in fact that the disabled parker would not have been able to open the door at all. Out she hops in her gym gear to do a spot of shopping. When I returned 40 minutes later the disabled car was still hemmed in by our anaerobic driver.

Your response should be "our towing company take less than that these days"

The gym bunnies are the ones who take up all the remaining benches for their "stuff" oblivious to the inconvenience they are causing to everyone else and all the while adjusting their iPod.

I reckon she was about 39/40 too so assumed she should know better...then I realised she just fitted the demographic of the "entitled" generation. They have rights you know.
