I've almost had my laptop crushed a few times by people reclining.

I don't hate it if they're actually sleeping, but otherwise it's just frustrating to be behind someone reclining.

This is the fault of the airline for making such a crappy design. Or in other words, don’t hate the player.. hate the game
You can hate the game and also be careful about the consequences of your actions in the badly designed game.
I don’t know you have a laptop behind me. I bought a flight ticket. My seat can recline. I don’t need to ask for permission. Consequently, it’s your property and you know the trays are not designed for laptops. Ergo, the onus is on you to protect your equipment. I would suggest looking at the faulty design and then adapting your approach accordingly.

The player is playing by the rules, you gotta hate the game (the airlines) for pitting the two of you against each other instead of against the hilariously bad design
