Woman rages after being seated next to ‘big’ passengers on United Airlines plane: ‘I eat salad, okay?’
A woman was reportedly thrown off a flight after raging against “big” passengers she claimed she was wedged between in a middle seat. The unnamed flyer was caught ranting on camera earlier this month on a flight between Las Vegas and Newark airport in New Jersey. The outburst was filmed and later shared online by Norma Rodgers, one of the passengers on the receiving end of the woman’s insults, and has since been viewed more than one million times.

Simple solution is to book early or pay for a better seat (or walk!).

One thing I like about flying regional's is that there are very few with a Middle Seat! Maybe a small advantage, but at least you are not squeezed in!
it has been noted,complained about and legislation pushed to get airlines to put in larger seats,as the seat size has been shrinking these past few years..unfortunately,its not a quick process,and also unfortunately,when flights are booked full,a person may get whatever seat is available, and that is often a middle seat..
I have been seated in many different uncomfortable locations and situations... One on a 737 towards the back of the plane were 2 guys already seated and I got the last seat... Or at least part of one. The other 2 guys had both armrests up and plopped guts 1/2 in to my seat... I was sitting sideways and "God Bless" the Flight Attendant who recognized me.... She called me by name and said: "I Talked to the Captain and asked if you would join him in the Cockpit"... I jumped on that one... UGH!... When I got to the Cockpit (knowing both crew members) said that the FA told them I was in quite a "Pinch"!
She wasn’t the slimmest person herself. As pitch and width of cattle carrier seats continue to shrink and passenger girth continues to increase, expect plenty more of this.
