Too big for the airplane seat

[Just Plain Ruff]

Epic fail on the airplane seat.

Well again, the picture fails to load. Here's the link. If someone can put it on here that would be great.

Probably 'photo chopped' as in 'porked chopped' into oblivion. Hope they had extra air in the tires on that side.

Actually the Airlines would not allow this guy to sit that way.

Unfortunately if he has to sit like this then he'd probably not be able to fly unless he purchased a 2nd seat.

I have been in the position of the guy in the middle seat and it was messy.

I made a complaint to the flight attendants and said that I objected to this one woman sitting by me. Had a good long discussion with the woman and told her it was nothing personal and she actually didn't get mad. She did apologize to me for the predicament. But I refused to sit next to her based on the fact that there was no way she could sit in our row comfortably and that either I received a refund or they moved me to a open first class seat.

The airline was not about to refund my money and they had 1 open first class seat. I pushed the issue and after a delay of 20 minutes for the plane to leave the gate I was moved to first class and the woman got two seats. I even had the young 10 year old next to me flying by herselft tell me "you can have part of my seat" which was very nice of her but I did not take her up on that offer.

The woman was relieved and I was pampered in First class luxury for a flight from jacksonville Florida to Seattle Washington. 5 hours.

I know I made some people angry that I delayed the flight but I'm not going to be forced to sit next to someone that size when I know good and well that my ticket cost me way more than hers did because I had to book it one day in advance and it cost my client 1150.00

I was fed, given a blanket, got all the soda and beer I wanted (I didn't drink a lot of beer) and I was happy.

I am not against people that size flying but when it comes to my comfort and sanity I'm going to argue the point. If you need more than one seat to get to your destination on a airplane then you should have to purchase 2 seats. Sorry if this makes any one mad but I have spent the last 9 years travelling on planes twice a week and it's a supreme hassle to begin with and to add someone who takes up 2 seats and try to fit them in one seat that barely seats me, I'm gonna speak up.

The downside to this whole situation was that when I got off the plane I was approached by two uniformed police officers and a guy in a suit who asked me why I delayed the flight. I explained it to them and that was that.

Me neither...as long as they ride in cargo.
