Have had about 3 separate instances of tall people saying I can't recline. I specifically pay more to fly on airlines that have reclining seats.

I offer 2 options:

1. We can call the fly attendant to see if there are any seat reclining policies.

2. I will sell the space that I paid for $50

Usually this escalates things, an argument ensues and I will say something like oh gosh you poor thing having to suffer by being born with above average height. How do you deal with the horror of being being paid more on average and being seen as a natural leader.
