I am 6'2 and I passionately hate people who keep their seat reclined for the entire duration of the flight. With the seat in front reclined it is impossible to eat the meal. It is also absolutely impossible to use a laptop. For this reason
I actually never recline myself, unless I have a child sitting behind me.

Sometimes I love being 5'6" Sure you tall people have your sports and politics and scads of beautiful women, but I can get comfortable anywhere!
Bitch to the airline. Hardly the passenger's fault.

Hardly an option.
Besides one either gets the "don't do to others what you don't want to be done to you" view on things or one doesn't. In this case you clearly don't.

What a classy response.
Forgive me for being unimpressed by your troubles. An old neck injury makes it very uncomfortable for me to fly, and absolutely painful if I can't recline my seat. And about using a laptop, forget about it. I've tried and within 5 minutes I have a blistering headache from tilting my head forward. You not being able to use a laptop I view as a small inconvenience compared to how I'll feel after the flight if I can't recline.

How about when people like you recline and your chair goes into our knees. Forgive me kneeing you in the back causing you back problems if you do this.
This is what business class was invented for.... for better or worse I guess.
