Do you recline your seat on a plane? (stock) (Image: Getty Images) A man has sparked a debate on plane etiquette after he decided to recline his seat, knowing it was causing discomfort to the passenger behind him. Settling into his pre-booked seat and suffering from a headache, he didn't hesitate to tilt his chair back once freed from the seatbelt sign constraints, anticipating some shut-eye for most of the trip. Yet, barely an inch into the recline, the person sitting behind interrupted with a tap and a complaint.

Sharing his ordeal on Reddit , the man recounted: "Immediately the person behind me tapped the side of my headrest (loudly) and told me I was squishing their legs. I put my seat up, apologised, and then reclined again, but this time very little." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
