This selfish, inconsiderate provocateur has to then accept there will be consequences. As for your remote distance psychological evaluation I can assure you I am mentally perfectly stable. The person who is reclining the seat is not in the right, they are clearly in the wrong, they are selfish, inconsiderate and creating a 'situation' as you say. It's polite, considerate and the right thing to do not to recline. To shove a seat in someone's face is not right. It's very wrong. If there were an ashtray in the seat handle, it wouldn't be right to smoke, would it? Smoking next to someone would be a massive imposition and inconsiderate. Shoving your seat in someone's face is also a massive imposition and inconsiderate. i suggest you turn to wearing a mask, it may help your anger issues.

In any event, my wife (generally) seems to breeze through without any issue, and considering you don't have to have to go through immigration to exit the country, how bad is it really? Where do you go where it's better? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San diego was fine. in more than 20 years of coming and going to thailand i've never had any problem, or had any reason to complain about, thai immigration or any immigration officer. i have always found IOs to be efficient and polite. the longest i've ever had to queue is about 40 minutes, usually much less. in my experience the people who i have seen having issues are those who dont have their documentation prepared and/or in order, or have an 'attitude'.

The first time I came to LOS the female immigration officer was a bit off but I put it down to her not expecting to lay eyes on me that day. Call it shock and awe, if you will.

This was when THAI were actually servicing the route and the Tom Bradley building that was host to all the airline lounges was going through a 14-month refurbishment and was totally closed. A nightmare from Immigration and Customs all the way through to getting your onward flight outta that hole regardless of class of ticket. Meanwhile, about seven months ago... LAX figured out how to make itself an even worse airport https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2019-10-08/lax-bans-curbside-uber-lyft-taxi-pickups LAX was and still is a dog.

Where do you get this notion from that no one should recline ? You are a catalyst of these instances in flights not the recliner Indeed. As another has said it's the airlines who make the problem squeezing more and more seats in. But it's also customer choice to fly economy rather than pay for premium economy or business. As long as seats are built to recline people are going to recline. Why not make longhaul cattle class even worse ( for me anyway) and fit seats that don't recline? Shorthaul European budget operator Ryanair do just that. Bearable when the average flight time is under 1 HR. 30 mins and the price is so cheap. Covid may well change all this anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
