I was quite surprised to see in the article that the lady in front of you apparently was in the right. She had paid for that space not you.

To me that sounds crazy. Everyone has to fit in the seat when upright, because of take-offs and landings. But reclining the seat can make it impossible for a passenger to fit in. Or put in another way: you buy the passenger space for the reclined position and are then asked to sit in the upright position.
But as the article says, this split people 50/50 and each half cannot understand the other half.
