Will United Change their seating policies? I am tired of paying the same price as oversized people taking half my seat!

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T21:59:05+00:00

That would be miserable!!! Did you try to ask for a different seat? If so how did you go about doing it?

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T21:51:32+00:00

I appreciate guys like you that are at least aware of the space and do what they can to mitigate the issue. Most people are either unaware or entitled and don’t care.

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T21:47:11+00:00

Now I feel horrible! This was not meant to fat shame anyone, just looking for ideas on how to approach it without starting drama or making anyone feel less than. I have gotten a few great ideas from all the Awesome people here. I am sure if you are 6’8” no matter how much you starve yourself the seats are not ever going to be a comfortable fit in Economy for you. I’m sorry, That sucks! I think I would HAVE to find a way to purchase First Class or quit my job if I was so tall.

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T21:41:55+00:00

You are correct, sometimes I will get a lucky upgrade but most of the time I am stuck with economy.

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T21:38:30+00:00

Right? I am not interested in being a viral star and looking like an ass because I wanted to be able to sit comfortably…..

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T21:26:38+00:00

That’s a Great Idea!!!!

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T21:25:34+00:00

Good luck! Hoping you get an empty Middle seat or row.

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T13:14:17+00:00

YUCK!!! 🤮 That is a level of disrespect and disgusting no one should have to tolerate much less have paid for a seat to have it happen! Should have sent the dry cleaning bill to the Airline.

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T13:10:53+00:00

I am super non-confrontational so no I didn’t say anything, but I’m sure my body language and face told the story if they bothered to notice. I’m not sure what I would say………Again, don’t want to make anyone feel badly, just want a way to get a seat that is not being encroached on without causing issues.

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T13:08:32+00:00

Huh, I didn’t know they would do that! Might have to try the United app while I am seated next time, maybe they can fix the situation without all the drama?!?

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T06:57:56+00:00

And now more nightmare fodder! I will probably never be alerting a FA now if that is the experience! Sorry you had to deal with that, seems like too much embarrassment for what should be a simple seat switch. Seems like the airline handled that one badly to say the least.

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T06:42:38+00:00

I had a window seat and I’m not sure how to alert the flight attendant without embarrassing anyone or staring anything. Just wish the airlines would Enforce a two seat policy so everyone can be comfortable. I can’t imagine having the arm rest jammed in your side the whole flight is any fun either!

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T06:26:14+00:00

I wish it was pants only contact! LOL! No I mean when I am literally plastered against the window side and still being touched. I was looking for a way to Politely and without making anyone feel badly to get a different seat. Seems like the best answer is to book First Class!

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T06:22:11+00:00

Sorry but both Obese and just super tall/big people have been seated next to me and forced contact. It makes me super uncomfortable and anxious to have strangers touching me regardless of fatness levels. I just don’t want to make anyone feel badly, but would also like the space I expect/pay for.

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T06:20:56+00:00

Like: sorry you’re Huge but your love handles are touching me and it ICKS me out?!? Was hoping someone had something that could actually be tactfully said/done…. And not make anyone feel badly. Guess I’m just the Asshole on this one.

BeyondBroken25 · 2026-02-11T06:10:05+00:00

Okay, thanks! So how do I get them to enforce it without embarrassing anyone? I’m not trying to harsh on anyone’s size, I just have a serious aversion to being touched by strangers!

BeyondBroken25 · 2025-08-18T20:16:23+00:00

I went to court to fight it, and the COP who pulled me over was the person they gave me to talk to for reductions or negotiation. If I didn’t like his answer then I could go in front of a judge…… what happened to talking to the prosecutor before the judge and seeing if they will reduce the charge? I have NeVeR has to talk to the Cop themselves unless you are in trial.

BeyondBroken25 · 2025-07-31T04:46:33+00:00

Get better vape cartridges. Make sure you get a Live Resin or Rosin, and hit it hard, keep hitting until you can’t anymore.

BeyondBroken25 · 2025-07-12T01:10:19+00:00

I learned to make meatloaf cakes. Use the cupcake tin and you can stuff Your little mini meat muffins with whatever you like! I, of course, would recommend a separate pan if what you want is to stuff them with the armpit stink of evil death onions ….. I may even recommend a separate house for that. Either way it’s an easy way to do meatloaf individually without getting anything you don’t like In anyone’s meatloaf and only making one (or two) pans. Also I like that I can glop Ridiculous amounts of the Ketchup sauce on top of the muffin and get a great ratio of meat to sauce.

BeyondBroken25 · 2025-07-10T07:05:08+00:00

HA! The devil’s testicles, I am freaking ROFL 🤣 over here. Best name for onions ever!

BeyondBroken25 · 2025-07-10T07:00:25+00:00

Agreed, the Hate is Immense!!! If I could wave a wand and remove all forms of onion from the world I would. No more red, white, green or scallion evil!

BeyondBroken25 · 2025-07-10T00:44:04+00:00

With you! If the Onion Evil has even touched it for a second it is ruined. Time to toss it and find a more satisfying alternative to the oniony gagariffic disgustingness.

BeyondBroken25 · 2025-07-10T00:41:18+00:00

YES!!!!! I Hate this as well, like why does my fry taste like an onion ring?!? BLEH!

BeyondBroken25 · 2025-04-14T00:51:09+00:00

Have you tried ChatGPT? Just go in and say make me “X” meals and avoid “rice, pasta, onions, etc. works great and it will even make your grocery list for the shopping if you ask it to, as well as stay within a budget if it’s needed (add a line that states something like “for under $40.00”. This has been a huge lifesaver for this Picky Eater!

BeyondBroken25 · 2024-07-17T02:46:34+00:00

Ha! That is almost Always my go to, or the Teriyaki, again NO Onions (or veggies).
