I hardly ever fly anymore and when I do I splurge for first class.
lol...I’ve had the same experience - except it was also the very last row on the airplane that didn’t have reclining seats.
I call it “scum class” ;p
I flew in the middle seat two weeks ago. Was blessed that the window seat passenger was a young Marine who was going home for 10 days after graduating from Boot Camp. We chatted for the entire flight.
The last time I flew coach I got stuck in a middle seat with a 400 lb. ghettopotamus in the aisle seat. Being buried for 2 hours under all those rolls of blubber was one of the most traumatic experiences of my entire life.

Poor you! My wife was seat mates with Dan Rather from Oklahoma City to Chicago.
