I didn't have enough space to even hold my phone in front of my face to read it because she had reclined back so far.

You have to remember that there are a lot of people on the plane of different shapes and sizes, so what might not bother you might be a huge problem for someone else.

Exactly, that's what I'm saying. It goes both ways.

Was your seat reclined?

No, because I was trying to be thoughtful to the person behind me.

Think this might be part of the issue...

Just because I show a level of consideration to the person behind of me that I'm not personally afforded doesn't mean that this is part of the issue. The issue is a design problem created by the airline, and I'd rather be courteous to the person behind me if possible.

That's the hill you want to die on? Inability to look at your gadget?

I'm sorry if I dare used a practical example of the bad situation I was in, rather than describing it in inches.
