If I get stuck in a middle seat, the armrests are mine. Period. On a Southworst flight from PDX to SLC last week, some a-hole on the aisle seat was using both armrests. I knocked his elbow off and just stared at him. Armrests were mine for the duration. I am NOT someone you want to be sitting next to on a commercial flight. Me being intoxicated usually has something to do with it. WooHoo for Heineken!
