Its rude, you take two seats next to each other. No one wants to sit in the middle of your conversation, you handing things back and forth, etc. I have no issue with a middle seat but I don't want you touching me nor do I want to hear your conversations or stuff being passed back and forth.

the fat ones could've at least gotten the window and the middle seat but no they knew if they sat next to each other they couldn't move. They didn't care about giving no room to the middle seat person long as they didn't have to pay. Can't believe the fat one is a nurse too.

[quote]No way. You all are ridiculous. Fat or skinny, if I book my flight with enough advance notice and have the option, my DH and I will always book window/aisle. Traveling is awful and you make the best of it - window and aisle seats are the better choice. why should I take the less optimal choice just because I'm traveling with someone? You don't want to be in the middle of my conversation? you don't want to be in the middle of us handing stuff back and forth? Then book your trip early enough and PICK YOUR OWN AISLE OR WINDOW SEAT. Don't expect me to suffer just to make your life better.

I would tell you to switch if you were having conversations around me and passing stuff. Sometimes you do book early enough. If I'm alone I don't care where I sit so I'm not spending extra money to avoid nasty people like you. If you want to be next to your spouse, book tickets accordingly and not annoy the middle passenger. If you cannot sit in a middle seat, maybe you should learn something from this thread... try some salad. [/quote]

Clearly, you're having some trouble reading. 
1. I don't want to sit next to my spouse. I want us to be one seat apart (see? aisle.....window) 
2. I never said I "can't" sit in the middle - I said it's less optimal and I'd rather not - so I book early and pick my seats. 
3. I said "fat or skinny" I happen to be able to fit very comfortably in an airline seat. I just hate it when strangers are telling me my DH and I HAVE to move because your fragile personality can't handle sitting between 2 people that know each other.

You can "tell me" to switch all you want. I have my seat, which I specifically selected, and don't plan on moving.

And BTW, I'm a huge introvert. During flights, DH and I rarely talk, or hand things back and forth - I always read on flights. But it really pisses me off that you have the gall to think that I should sit in a middle seat just because I'm part of a couple.[/quote]

Get a divorce.  Simple.  You should sit with your spouse.  Or, he can sit in the middle.[/quote]

NP but now you're just being dumb. There is NO RULE ANYWHERE, real or etiquette wise, that says you have to choose a seat you don't like because your spouse is next to it. Maybe it would be better for PP to book aisle/aisle, but she is under no obligation to sit next to her spouse in a seat she hates. [/quote]

NP here and she’s under the obligation of normal social etiquette. It’s F’in rude! I was stuck between a couple once on SW, where it was announced that all seats would be taken. These jerks passed stuff across me and spoke over me. It was unbelievably obtuse, given they didn’t book those seats since it’s SW and clearly knew someone would be between them. Like, just don’t interact then if you insist on sitting apart. I was in my twenties and didn’t speak up but should have. [/quote]
