The reclining seat thing is spot on, honestly can't belive more people don't think about it. Had a similar incident on a red-eye last month where the person ahead just slammed back without warning right when I had my laptop out, came within inches of disaster. The whole heads-up approach would solve so many issues yet it's such a simple thing poeple just skip. That baby story though is next level ridiculous, really shows how some folks forget basic decency whenthey're in shared spaces.
I must admit, I am guilty of liking the window shade down during takeoff and landing or if there are really pretty mountains or islands to look at. But, I try to be respectful other than that. Haha
As the mother of a young woman who cried through an ENTIRE four hour flight at 7 months old, I feel for the parents of the baby that was screamed at. Believe me, parents KNOW that everyone on the flight will hate their screaming baby, and they are doing everything they can to calm their baby down. Other etiquette I appreciate: 1. when people who are traveling while sick wear a mask. 2. When a flight is late, letting people with tight connections get off first. 3. When passengers walking down the aisle make an effort to keep their bag/backpack from bumping people who are already seated.

I keep my laptop so close to the edge of the tray table now just in case it happens again!
Opening the window shade while everyone else is trying to sleep. Straight to jail.

Agree on all counts!
