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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

This is why there is going to be a fat tax on planes...

It's not as funny if its explained but I will anyways. An asshole is in between butt cheeks, therefore an asshole is in the middle.

First person to actually like the middle seat.

I don't like the middle seat, but I would prefer it over the aisle seat.

and you purchased your seat. he has no right to be all up in your personal space when he bought 2 seats. that's incredibly rude and I would make his flight as miserable as I possibly can.

I concur. I would start by putting headphones in and singing just loudly enough to be mildly annoying. And then laughing hysterically as if the greatest comedian ever was on the radio. Completed with fake sleep, and ridiculously loud fake snoring.

This is when you start acting creepy as hell.

That sucks, though if he actually bought two tickets just to fly, then maybe he has some problems and it wasn't just because he preferred to sit in the middle?

Wow, wouldn't the stewardess ask him to move anyway though? If you were visibly uncomfortable, normally they can insist someone moves or stops doing whatever it is that's bothering the other passengers. FYL all the way. :( Inconsiderate airplane people. Boo.

Don't be a wuss, fight him off and take your space back. That fat F can encroach on his other seat if he feels it necessary.
