[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I still don’t get how the woman in the middle seat is the bad guy[/b]. No she shouldn’t have said pig but that was after being called b***ch and having random people attach her plus being outed publicly. I feel these airline videos are very unfair to airline passengers. You have a problem on a flight and suddenly you are an internet sensation?

Having been in the same situation (I am small and could fit).The people were kind and the stewardess moved us but geez it was impossible for that lady. The people I sat next to were half the size of those 2 and it was still a squish. [/quote]

Because she acted like a bitch. She could have nicely asked the flight attendant for another seat. Or asked the couple nicely. But she didn't. She chose to act like a nasty bitch.

Asked the couple nicely what? To stop being so obese and actually fit into the seats they chose to buy rather than taking someone else’s? I don’t get what you’re suggesting. Ask them to actually even pretend to care how obnoxious they were being by stealing something that someone else paid for? What?[/quote]

Uhhh...she could have asked them if they could switch a seat with her so she'd have the window or aisle. She wouldn't have been kicked off the plane if she had acted kindly. Instead, she acted like a trashy bitch.

+1. Possible less heinous alternatives:

1) Excuse me, would you mind switching seats with me? You guys seem to be together and I am a bit uncomfortable.

2) Excuse me, could you let me out of the aisle? I am not sure I can comfortably sit here and am going to go ask a flight attendant if there are other seats available.

Either of those things, said discreetly, would have been fine and appropriate if somewhat awkward and would not have been the equivalent of screaming about how you should not be expected to be asked to sit between a couple of <insert disgusting insult towards fat people>. [/quote]

Agree.  DP here.  But, as you see from certain PPs, they have no intention of switching seats, or accommodating in any way.  There was on PP upthread who thought they were gracing the middle seat occupant with their unwashed presence!  LOL.

We don't know that. Random people on DCUM do not speak for the couple on the plane. I'm sure the outcome would have been much more pleasant for everyone if she hadn't acted like a bitch. She was the only one at fault here.
