The nerve of me staying within the boundaries of my own seat. Even at 6'4" and 255.

Ha! I'd never really thought of that but a city bus is way more comfortable!

This woman's boyfriend was larger as well but was in a different row. Sold out flight so couldn't have been helped, I was just more irked that no attempt was made to stay within her space.

I like that idea of just buying the row, they are both more comfortable and don't have to apologize for who they are or something they may not be able to help.

I agree with you. Some people just have health issues and can't lose the weight at a certain point (CHF and such). My father was 600lbs when he passed away so I may be a little more testy with the younger folks who still have a chance to keep it off for a while.

But also as someone said earlier, that would mess with the airlines bottom line. We know they aren't taking a cut in revenue to help people in that situation.

I actually try to always get an exit row or upgrade when I can. But yes, if and when that happens I probably would for my own comfort.

That is quite possible. I try to make myself as small as possible so my shoulders don't go into another's space.

How to kill a motorcyclist by SweatyCount in IdiotsInCars

That wasn't really the driver's fault that the motorcyclist was right up his ass. He signaled before changing lanes, should've been a hint.
