Spent three hours of a four hour flight in the bitch seat asserting my dominance over both armrests. Manspreading motherfucker in the aisle seat just wouldn’t learn.

Yes aisle gets the legroom, window gets a place to rest their head, middle gets two armrests

BA1: The callow youth next to me had strong elbows but I had scotch strength from the prior first class leg. I was not going to be moved. My approach was not at all non-confrontational—he found a mountain of furious armflesh that did not at all get uncomfortable when he tried to sneak into that armrest.

ACN1: I admit I’ve been on aisle and gone for the armrest if the middle seater did not take it or was a little person. However when they go for it I don’t fight them over it for three motherfuckin’ hours. Also note that both window and aisle get an armrest all of their own they can dominate. This cocksucker was literally off of his armrest to fight me over the middle—so his jimmies had to be rustled

Sounds like there was a lot of questionable arm-rubbing in your non-confrontational approach

This flight will be over soon - breathe in, breathe out :) ...

Does the middle seat really get both armrests ?

All that aggression, OP. OUTLAW COUNTRY WOOOO!

I’m glad that flight has landed OP
