"Anyway, I had the aisle seat (which I always book) and the guy in the middle seat, who was there before me, refused to move his leg and kept his arm on the armrest. I get in my seat, but he’s really pushing back hard. If feels like he’s basically trying to take over the entire row. I’m pushing back too, but refused to continue to this the entire flight even though it’s barely a 75 minute flight."
i think the middle guy was sourrounded by two karens...
an unwritten law is not "the law", i'm a big guy who's been in the middle seat on airplanes and i grin and bear it for the ride never trying to take up too much space, after years of doing this i solved the problem by upgrading to first class every time now and it's worth the extra expense, another plus is i get seated first and depart first and free beer
Unwritten laws may not be "the law", but it is simple courtesy. Middle seat gets both armrests. This is known. So just save your 1st class money. As Jim Jefferies tells us, Window gets one armrest and the window, middle seat gets 2 armrests, aisle gets 1 armrest and a little extra leg room. We're not animals, we live in a society

If everyone just started acting with a little common decency and respect for others our world would be a much better place (especially in the USA).
under our current government it shall be called the U.S.S.A(united socialist states of american)
