hmmm. Just did. And yes, a little surprised. I think people need to understand that not everyone is spreading into your space to claim it. They are just trying to get comfortable.
I just got back from a flight yesterday. The man sitting next to me was HUGE. Like Bigfoot huge. He accidentally elbowed me a few times. I joked with him that I would forgive him for taking out a rib if he didn't complain about getting up to let me go to the bathroom 10 times.
But in defense of Gillian's take on this one - there are people who are not huge and just rude. Every situation is unique.
And airlines are crap. Seriously, stop cramming us in like half-dead sardines. There's a reason why people prefer to take Amtrak to shorter destinations.
