Where do you stand? (Or sit)?

True story. I was on a flight when a gigantic larda$$ flopped into the seat next to me (isle side) He asked if he could raise the armrest. I said "No, that's the only thing keeping more of you out of my seat." He was really pissed, but he didn't raise the armrest.

buying two tickets does not guarentee a seat big enough to accomodate larger people....a seat is a seat....you sit in one seat and you have one seat belt...the extra money for the extra seat is wasted because the other person in your row will just have extra arm room....

what needs to happen is that we need to ALL demand larger seats, more room for our legs....if they want to build big single seats for bigger people, and charge a little more, they should do it....

air travel is insanely inhumane as it is today...even for the skinnys....but instead of blaming themselves, the airlines go after an easy target ..big people...

I had a huge guy sit next to me. He immediately pulled up the arm rest. I put it back down and he began to pull it back up. I SLAMMED it down and told him “Don’t even think about putting that back up.” A little harsh but that was the only language he’d understand.

LOL! I had a seat beside a VERY fluffy woman and she wanted the same thing. “We will both be more comfortable if I lift this chair arm.”

I said “NO we won't!” She was pissed.

I sat beside a huge fat guy who was putting off so much body heat it was like sitting next to a heater.

No thanks I'll drive.
