Taking Up Space: How Much is Too Much?

Do you allow yourself a seat at the table?

I was recently stuck on an plane for longer than is comfortable on an airline who will not be named. My sources later revealed this airline is notorious for discounting not only their prices but also their customer experience and notably, customer legroom. Now, I’m a bit of a shorty so this is how I “give back” on airplanes — I don’t need all the leg space so preciously allocated to me. The gentleman, who inevitably sits in the middle seat next to me (I prefer the window), is usually forced to squeeze his long limbs into my extra space. I’m a giver. Needless to say, I vowed never to fly this airline again. Unless they are the only ones offering convenient flight times. Dang it.
