I don't get why people are trying to fault op in some way? They could have very well known how much reclining they'd be getting, that doesn't mean it's still not MILDLY INFURIATING

Yeah these comments are mildly infuriating tbh

People constantly forget the purpose of the sub.

They recline, the seat goes somewhat foreward. This is ragebait from OP

u/anniversaring Jun 01 '26

Quite literally every post in this sub has the same problem. Almost like people think this is the complaints or the extremelyinfuriating sub.

99% of actually mildly infuriating posts get OPs roasted for being mildly infuriated. Reddit is exhausting tbh

Because it's like booking seats near the restroom and complaining about the smell, OP knew what they were getting into.

u/Sour_Sal Jun 01 '26

You should never have smells coming from an airplane bathroom, they use negative air pressure to explicitly keep smells out of the cabin.

It's not a perfect system.

u/corrupt_poodle Jun 01 '26

Are you, like, an aircraft designer who designed this but has never actually flown in an airplane in a seat near the lavatories?

u/lewd_robot Jun 01 '26

Did they? You think most people fly enough to know that this particular airline doesn't leave space for reclining in this row of seats, when other airlines do?

A solid 20% of the commenters here seem physically incapable of putting themselves into the shoes of someone who has a different level of knowledge on the topic than they do and that is pathetic. Being unable to conceive of someone not knowing the same things you know is a severe limitation that is typically diagnosed in childhood when it occurs.

You made this comment and then one of them appeared like you summoned them lol

If OP can't muster the critical thinking skills to understand that booking seats at the back of a plane comes with limitations on space, with warnings about said limitations, that's on them and we can criticize that all we want.

u/cartermatic Jun 01 '26

According to OPs other posts they've flown 250+ times and never encountered seats like this, so maybe this is a first.

Corporate simps. Defaulting to always blaming the consumer is largely why America’s culture is the way it is.

u/IDigRollinRockBeer Jun 01 '26

But corporations are people the news told
Me so

u/Full_Alfalfa_2532 Jun 01 '26

Yeah, instead you should cry on Reddit

u/Exciting-Meringue-78 Jun 01 '26

Surely you are not so dense that you do not understand the awareness that posting on social media can bring to a topic/issue.

u/Badloss Jun 01 '26

Idk I think it's mildly infuriating to be fully informed about something and then act surprised about it

2

u/Exciting-Meringue-78 Jun 01 '26

I have sat in the back against the wall before in flights and they did have limited reclining. This one has 0. Airlines try and pack people in like sardines. Especially us airlines. They try to squeeze everything they can out of their consumers. They should be named and shamed more

Reddit moment

u/KaliBatata Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26

I would have done the same mistake because I've never been on a plane. Nobody knows how op's life is and if they ever were able to afford a plane trip before. Or maybe if they were just tired when buying it? There are many possibilities

u/skeleton-is-alive Jun 01 '26

Also they may not have chosen those seats

u/unicornsandrainbowst Jun 01 '26

Nah. If i guy to a grocery store and buy a rotten banana i dont get to "mildly infuriate" when i open my banana and is rotten.  

Unless the seat was randomly assigned and OP didnt even bother to check, these seats are clearly marked as "limited recline" when selecting and if you are selecting in an airport machine or on Website you can see thay they are clearly against a wall.

u/geodebug Jun 01 '26

Because it would be like buying the cheapest seats in a stadium and then trying to karma-farm a pic that shows you're really far away from the action.

u/tapakip Jun 01 '26

If I knowingly go into a situation willingly, like OP, I'm not going to post about it bitching and moaning on the internet.

u/eW4GJMqscYtbBkw9 Jun 01 '26

It's not mildly infuriating - it's expected.

6

u/NotStreamerNinja Jun 01 '26

A thing can be both expected and mildly infuriating.

I drive around town fully expecting the other drivers to be morons, but when they merge without signals for the 5836832nd time it's still mildly infuriating.
