Just pray you don’t end up in the seat next to them.

I was next to some guy about that size (needed a seat belt extender), and he asked if he could put up the arm rest. I told him no that was the only thing keeping him from spilling into my seat. He really was PO’d at me, but the armrest stayed down.

I've wound up in the seat next to them.

Numerous times.

It’s not fair to the person who sits next to them and has to end up sharing *their* seat with them. I’m sorry that it’s difficult (and I’ve fought with my weight, I’m not unsympathetic, it’s hard, and sometimes it’s embarrassing and sometimes people aren’t very nice). But it’s not the rest of the world’s problem.
I wonder how she would feel if when she orders her next meal, the man at the next table is hungrier than she is and gets 1/3 of her dinner, even tho he pays the same price? Will she think that’s fair?

I was stuck between a couple 350+ lb unbathed German men on a flight from Covington (Cincinnati) to Frankfurt (am Main) Germany. Gross.
Smelly. Uncomfortable. Nine stinking hours. It was my first flight on a
747. Not a good memory.

I was on a flight one night in a window seat. Along comes the Widette Couple (big, big asses and extra weight to boot). The lady who was apparently in the center seat automatically (automatically, I said) reached for my armrest and attempted to flip it up so her fat ass could spill over into my seat about 6-8 inches.

Thank the Lord! Thank the NTSB! Thank whomever requires that exit row seat armrests are solidly fixed and cannot be raised! She complained bitterly to the flight attendant to no avail. She had to shoehorn her ass in there, but the bottom of her enormous butt never touched the seat!....a very long 2 hour flight for her and her husband.....
