    I flew easyjet last week, I had the window seat, I had a stranger sat next to me and the aisle seat was free. I really thought he'd take advantage and sit in the free seat, but he never. 

    On the plus side  perhaps I'm not as fat as I think I am 😆
    Shocking behaviour!  It should be illegal to sit next to someone if there is the abilty to leave a seat free between you.
    As a species we are screwed if someone cant pluck up the courage to suggest to someone to move down one seat so they both get more space.
    I did think he'd move, but probably more as a societal norm and people liking space, but he wasn't infringing on my personal space so it would have probably been quite rude. Had they have been much larger and touching me or smelly then I would have certainly suggested it.

    Being stuck next to a big smelly person would be the pits! 

    I gave in and forked out to choose my seats. I've picked near the front so it won't hopefully take too long to get my cuppa. It peeves me when my row is the last to be served.

    First world problems, eh?
