I very much appreciated that when I found my seat next to you, all 400 pounds of you had basically taken over my seat. including my armrest that you generously put up because you couldn't contain yourself in your own seat. how very kind of you. I also really appreciated that your knee was blocking my tray table so that I had to hold my cup of water instead of putting it on the tray. you are lucky I didn't say anything, people (I'm talking to you, kevin smith) get kicked off of planes for this sort of thing.
oh, and when you have the option of "upgrading" to the emergency exit row for a measly extra $25? I suggest you take it, at least your knee won't be blocking your neighbor's tray table. or, better yet, buy two seats.

My husband insists on putting the arm rest down in these cases. He puts a lot of weight on it and it doesn't go all the way down but he figures if he has to be uncomfortable because the person next to him doesn't fit in his/her seat so should that person.
I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
seriously, I couldn't even do that! his entire right arm was over my armrest when it was up.
thank goodness it was only a 50 minute flight, I would have raised hell had it been over an hour. but I didn't want to be too much of a b!tch since the flight was oversold.
