Jake faced this dilemma when his choice to recline upset the pregnant woman sitting behind him. Here\u2019s what happened. On a nine-hour flight, Jake leaned his seat all the way back. Soon after, the pregnant woman behind him started pushing his seat and complaining that she didn\u2019t have enough space. Frustrated, he told her,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you want more comfort, pay for business class!\u201d She didn\u2019t respond, and later, he noticed she was no longer in her seat. I was curious, so I asked a flight attendant where she went. The stewardess told me they moved her to,an empty seat in business class to prevent any more issues. As the flight was ending, a flight attendant came up to me with a surprising message: \u201cSir, you might want to check your bag.\u201d Confused, I opened it and found a business class amenity kit inside. It had earplugs, an eye mask, toiletries, and a note. The note said: \u201cKindness is free and makes the,<\/p>\n<p>journey better for everyone. Thank you for inspiring the generosity of strangers, which made my flight much more comfortable. Safe travels.\u201d Even after this unexpected twist, I don\u2019t regret what I did. I paid for my seat, and if reclining wasn\u2019t allowed, the seats wouldn\u2019t be made that way. What do you think, was I wrong?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People often argue about whether it\u2019s okay to fully recline your airplane seat, should your comfort make someone else uncomfortable?
