I want to recline my seat on the airplane. Is this not what everyone else does too?
Oh my God, you can't. You mustn't. This won't go over well. Please be joking. Why do you want to recline your seat?
I want to annoy the person sitting behind me.
I know you want to recline your seat, but you shouldn't do it to purposely annoy the person behind you. You should show kindness to others and not annoy someone else.
Who cares if there's a grumpy old man behind me?
Even so, it's better to not try and cause a scene on your trip. You should just be nice and not try to annoy others.
