Yeti Watch

Although its nice to get on the flight with the Sky Priority zone to get the bag up top and get settled, one of the worst parts is what I call "Yeti watch"  Basically, you have to sit there in your aisle seat watching every NFL size person walking your way hoping they don't make eye contact and ask to take that center seat.

I'm not a small guy, but I do fit within the confines of my seat.  Some people are so large they can't fit.  I feel for those that have a weight problem or that are naturally big, but why should we have to give up seat space and lean into the aisle for someone else.  Some are nice about it an try to pull their shoulders in (like I do), but others just spread out, splaying their legs into your area and assuming ownership of both armrests.  What assholes.

I think Southwest has the best idea with charging people for two seats if they are too large.

One flight I was on there were two rather large guys.  They ended up sitting in the same row, right next to each other.   What was so interesting is that they kept glaring at each other.  Welcome to our would, big guy!
