re: PSA: Don't recline your seat back on flights

I hate fat people on airplanes. I was flying recently and had a huge woman come sit next to me. She took 5 minutes to fit herself into the seat, huffing and puffing the whole way through. Finally she was squished into the seat and spilling out over and under the armrest. Not 2 minutes later she asked me if she could pull up the armrest, and she exploded out from behind it. Next thing you know I'm pressed up against a cooked ham and a beef tenderloin. Luckily I was flying with my wife and I pulled up the armrest we shared and scooted over. But damn if that wasnt the fattest woman ive ever seen on an airplane

I'm only 5'10" but I get claustrophobic on flights pretty quick. You know what I do? Spend the extra $20-$60 and get either an exit row or the first row of economy. On really long flights I spring for economy plus.

Last month I was on a 777 from DFW to London and no one around me reclined their seat, thank God because those recline waaaay back.

I sure don't miss flying commercial.

At least bum up to first class if you're gonna be a batch about the seat

I'm glad I'm smart enough to book bulkhead and exit rows.

they're lazy, trashy, & entitled. Flying for her means she's somebody. Her Facebook page is full of details about her flight.

Do you find it odd that you just described the OP as well?

I wouldn't put much into that quote considering the guy that posted it said in the same post he can't afford first class

You'd be very surprised how many people pay for 1st class these days. Not all upgrades - not even close.

There should absolutely be a weight limit.

Perhaps you could start a handicapped group, whose handicap is excessive height. Then you could demand accommodations from the airlines, like exit row seating at no extra charge.
