'Not much sleep was had': Husband defends wife from passenger over airplane etiquette

No one ever agrees about this debate. Depending on where you're sitting on the plane, your point of view changes on this too!

The evergreen debate being had on r/AmItheA**hole is from a frustrated husband who recently flew with his wife. It seems like the trouble started right from the beginning of their flight. The dude behind the OP's wife was playing a game on the in-flight TV, meaning that he was jabbing at the back of her head! If that wasn't annoying enough, the OP's wife was really sleepy, and wanted to get some rest during the flight. So when she leaned her seat back, the game-playing guy behind her didn't take kindly to it. 

The OP shared his story, and no one can agree who's right and wrong in this situation. It seems like the plane seat reclining is always an issue. If you're the one reclining, you're confident in your right to relax and be comfortable as you snooze, and the person behind you will just have to deal. But the second the person in front of you reclines, you're annoyed that you have someone's scalp three inches from your head. It's a no-win situation, truly.
