Today, I was on a plane in the aisle seat; the guy in the middle was encroaching on my space, and the window seat was not taken. The stewardess noticed my discomfort and suggested the guy move so we both had space. He had bought both seats and "liked sitting in the middle." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to a movie with this guy. He was late so the only seats available were the ones in the very front which he refused to sit in. As we were looking for two seats, he spotted one near the back and sat down, leaving me to sit by myself in the front. FML
Today, I was on an airplane and had to go to the bathroom. The guy next to me was asleep and blocking the aisle. I tapped him on the shoulder, and he responded by punching me in the stomach. FML
Today, I was sitting next to this cute guy on an airplane who I had started talking to. There was still an empty seat between us and it seemed like there weren't any more passengers boarding the plane. I then asked out loud, "I wonder if anyone will sit between us?" He replied "I hope so." FML
Today, I was on a plane and a cute girl was getting ready to sit down beside me, but upon making eye contact, she asked to switch seats. FML
Today, I was sitting on a plane waiting for everyone to get on. A cute guy around my age had the option of sitting next to me or an old guy. He gave me a horrified look and immediately sat next to the old man. I got to sit next to his mother. She evil eyed me the whole time. FML
Today, I was at the airport walking around, killing time. There was a man about twenty years older than me who kept on eyeballing me, and it really wasn't flattering. I get on the plane and guess who I get to sit next to. FML
Today, I paid $140 extra to get more comfort during a flight. The man behind me was so tall that his legs didn't let me recline the seat, and complained every time I tried to during the night. FML
Today, I'd booked the cheapest seat on a long flight and ended up between a couple who spent the entire trip arguing through me instead of talking to each other, even after I offered to switch seats. By the end of the flight I probably knew more about their marriage than some of their relatives do. FML
Today, I'm in the middle seat on a flight to Dallas. The guy on the aisle is sleeping with his mouth open and I can smell his breath. I feel nauseous. FML
Today, I booked the cheapest seat on a six-hour flight to save money. The person next to me spent the entire trip asleep on my shoulder, and I felt too awkward to wake them up. By the time we landed, my neck hurt so much that I had to explain to guards and baggage claim staff why I couldn't turn my head. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Seems like douches reach their final forms on airplanes

Wouldn't buying a better seat such as first class be cheaper then buying 2 seats? Probably be more comfortable too.

This isn't even his final form.

45 - Flying first class often costs 3-4 times as much as flying coach. When my fiancé and I were looking at options last time we flew, coach was $350 each; first class was $1300 each!

Sorry op maybe he wants to share the middle seat experience with you

Ah yes, I remember my first middle seat experience. It was a lovely flight to Dallas, and she was a tall Mistress that I will dream of for the rest of my life. She made me do things there on the plane, that would make the mile high club blush. I do have to admit, the old lady next to the window was very upset.

I've ******* had it with fat people demanding special treatment for being fat. How about we treat them to a 250-mile hike in Siberia? :)

There already is, in a way -- past a certain point, you need to buy a second ticket. (IIRC that's an a per-airline thing) This person bought both, and chose to sit in the middle.
\ 28
...well, unless their obesity is entirely out of their control... THEN that's excusable. Otherwise we'd be right to charge them higher healthcare premiums and miscellaneous "fat" taxes.

When did op say the guy was overweight. He had the choice of sitting in either seat but decided to sit in the middle like a douche.
Axipiter 24
It's already happening, American Samoa is going to be basing ticket prices on a per-kilogram rate. It's about ******* time, too.

41 - I read "encroaching on my space" as "his fat was spilling over the sides". Otherwise the stewardess could have simply asked him to scoot/lean over in the other direction as opposed to full-on moving.

You are all soooo stupid. If u really think there should be a fat tax on planes you have clearly never struggled from weight issues. Being fat is NOT a personal choice it's just a mistake that some people have mad and have trouble overcoming. Maybe if the world had more accepting people than you assholes it would be a better place. F*** off. :-)

No I think overweight people wouldn't get as much shit and they would think its okay because nobody says anything. So there will be more fat people. It is their fault, it's a lifestyle choice. You can change it. So if you don't like being overweight, start exercising and change food habits.

"…not a personal choice, but a mistake…" Choice=choice Choice + bad=mistake So technically, a "personal choice" and a "mistake" are indeed both choices. Learn2debate

Who the **** asked for special treatment?
jenn1808 16
It is okay, because its not your ******* body to police. None of your business

I thought fat people were suppose to be jolly.

#63: Debate Rule #1: Do not call your opponent stupid. It makes your argument invalid. "You're all stupid so **** off," is not a great strategy. Debate Rule #2: Have common sense. For the over-consuming obese/overweight individual, it is a choice to stuff themselves with food. It's also a choice to overcome that addiction.

I saw on the news that a small airline (I forget what it's called) is charging people on how heavy they and there luggage is, I think that ridiculous!
DubstepCrazyXD 11
Tell me exactly what this has to with being overweight? @68
DH22 14
When you make mistakes are you not expected to pay for those mistakes? Weight issues include difficulty gaining weight as well. But just like losing weight you can do it if you got off your lazy ass and put in the effort.

That is when I would start coughing, picking and scratching then touch his arm. Give him the full male treatment. He'd move...

It could have been worse, he could have been a screaming toddler with an ignorant mother...
skyeyez9 25
I would personally prefer a screaming toddler vs a creep.
bamagrl410 31
After working in retail for years, I can say I'd rather have the creep. Listening to children scream for hours is awful.
tacojauns 45
I have no idea what you mean

I hate it when people are inconsiderate, especially on airplanes!
HowieDoIt 21
This is the same guy who goes to the urinal right next to you when there's 3 other open ones.
perdix 31
#12, no, that guy's trying to pull a Larry Craig pickup on you. On an unrelated topic, because of the font FML uses, I always thought your name was HowieDOLT. I used to like Howie Mandel, but now I think he's a dolt.
melons 44
Oh, I thought it WAS Howie DoLt! You will always be HowieDoLt to me. You can think of me as Meions instead.
XDsmileyDX_fml 24
But he's still in the middle and would encroach on OP's space yet again.

It's "isle." I really don't want to be reduced to being the guy who busts people for incorrect usage of homophones (what we inexplicably used to call homonyms), but if I must, I must. These things drive me literally crazy and YOLO! I've only got one life, so I shouldn't have to accept bad usage during my time on Earth!
HowieDoIt 21
He was on Gilligan's Isle?
perdix 31
No, someone's ******* with me! The original story had "isle" and I corrected it to "aisle." Looks like one of the pranksters in charge did the old switcheroo!
grtfuldeadlovr 27
#14 I completely agree I had to go back and read it. I got yelled at for saying your instead of you're.....get a life people.
FightMyLiger 19
...YOLO, #14? Are you standing by that, or blaming it on this mysterious prankster?
perdix 31
#49, no, I'm sticking with it. It goes with the horrible usage of "literally." I was aiming to score a hat trick of language crimes and I think I succeeded.
FightMyLiger 19
I guess isle have to accept that.
