Look before you rudely throw that seat back...

Why is it that, as soon as some people get on a bus or airline seat, they sit down, push the button, and throw that seat back as hard as they can? Do these people exist in such a bubble that they don't think anyone is sitting behind them?
Before I got wary of these oafs, I got smacked in the head. Flight attendance tell of laptops broken because the idiot in front of them didn't bother checking.
Guess what, you don't own the whole plane! I guess you think you are owed as much area in front and behind you as you can claim, but guess what.. you aren't!
Think before you throw that seat back. For all you know the person behind you might be holding a child... but then again, that is assuming you care.

Some people are just thoughtless, especially those who have not flown much (or those who have just been abused by TSA agents).
Others, though, have no respect for other people and do actually think it is their right to do what ever they want.
Even when most people are reasonable and nice, there will always be a few difficult ones.

I've seen someone throw their seat back and demand that the person in front of them put their seat upright before now. In some cases I'm sure it's just pure selfishness - no one else matters except them.
I was next to a lovely (not) man on my recent trip to the US who spent the entire flight with his seat back, being beligerent and demanding people all around him, even on the other side of the plane, close the blinds on the window because it was too bright. He was drunk before he even got on it, and continued drinking through the flight.
The throwing the seat back before the plane even starts annoys me so much. What is the point? You have to put it in the up right position for take off so why not just leave it upright? those precious twenty minutes of your seat being reclined must be so vital to you, grrr.
I'm sorry people are so inconsiderate.

Some People just don't care how others feel. They just try to satisfy their selves and care less of others. Maybe the airlines can make the space larger so this kind of stuff won't happen. People should be more polite that will be make a better world.
