Well. The plane was full and there were people standing around hoping for no-shows. This was not comforting. A few days before the middle seat next to me was still unsold. And what did I find when I got to my seat? You guessed it. It was a big burly guy who thought he was entitled to both armrests. Was I going to let that happen? Like hell! I spent quite a bit of time getting settled and generally acting like a helpless old lady. Before he knew it, he was reaching for something. When he tried to lean back, there was my shoulder and arm relaxing on the armrest and I was busy with my knitting. They stayed there the rest of the flight. He tried to lean on me a few times, but I ignored him. He never made eye contact or said one word to me. He just grumbled and shifted in his seat a lot. I hate it when someone acts like they are entitled and pretend that you are not even there. It is so unnecessary.
