> Not once in 500+ flights has anyone ever complained or asked me to sit up - and it wouldn't even cross my mind to ask anyone to do the same!

Exactly! I'm surprised by some of the comments here considering that's it's essentially expected to do it. I wonder if they fly at all.

I'm a frequent flier too, and only one time it happened to me that someone complained (and he was some type of thug).

Also I'm not sure how this affects tall people in particular. Considering the seat angle, I don't think the seat will make contact with the other person knees. It's only an issue when food is served, but at that time it's forbidden to recline.
