I had a woman who was so large she couldn’t fit in the seat with the center arm rest down sit next to me. I spent three hours squished against the side of the plane.

My worst passenger experiences have involved vomiting... On one flight there was a guy sitting a few rows in back of me who was obviously drunk. I remember thinking that if and when he got up to go to the bathroom it was going to be interesting. Well, he got up, stumbled down the aisle, looking green, and then fell into my row. Thankfully, he didn't vomit at that point, but waited until he got to the bathroom a few rows further ahead. He vomited all over the bathroom and it had to be closed for the rest of the flight.

On another flight there was a guy sitting across from me (I was in the aisle seat on the left, he was in the aisle seat on the right). The flight had been delayed for several hours, and I suspect he had been drinking in the airport. As we were taxiing he started asking for a vomit bag, and then lurched into the aisle (right next to me) and started the first of several episodes of vomiting into successful vomit bags.

We taxied for quite awhile, while the flight crew assessed whether he was going to be all right, and then the pilot made an announcement that he and the co-pliot had ‘timed-out’ (too many consecutive working hours) because of the delay, and so we had to go back to the gate and wait for a replacement crew. Finally got to our intended location, but the car rental place was closed.. Everything ended up great, but what a beginning to that trip....
