[OC]Uncle pushes back on Reclining seat

Air India flight from coimbatore to Delhi. 3 hour flight. Decided to recline in premium economy. Uncle behind me immediately starts banging on my seat. I had never experienced this before and asked him if he did not have space. Instead of requesting me, his question is, do you not have enough space.

I just let it go. In his defense he was fat. So maybe it’s uncomfortable. But I wish there was some politeness as opposed to this entitlement. I did not want to get into an argument, but what a disappointment
