A few months ago, I was on a red-eye flight trying to catch some sleep, and just as I started to doze off, the person in front of me suddenly reclined their seat with full force, nearly knocking my laptop into my lap. Moments later, someone a few rows over had their shoes off and feet resting on the bulkhead. It was a crash course in why flight etiquette matters.
