When you get on a plane, sit down, fasten your safety belt, pay attention to the flight attendant's directions, do whatever you do. Then once airborne, when you decide it is time to recline, take a look over your shoulder. If the person sitting behind you appears to be 6'5" or over, please refrain from reclining. If you are unsure whether or not the passenger behind you is 6'5" or over, look at his or her knees. If the knees are in contact with your seat before reclining, please refrain from reclining further, because if you do, you will be selfishly gaining a few inches of comfort for yourself while crushing the patellas of the lengthy traveler to your rear. One flight will be made just mildly more comfortable, while one flight will be turned into a painful game of "how long should I wait to ask this rude space hoarder to move forward?"
