and if I'm in the middle of the aisle, I try to press as close to the back of the seat as I can to avoid said ass or crotch.

I was at an Ace store and a guy in an electronic wheelchair was coming down the aisle. I was looking at something that I had just pulled on the shelf and tried to lean into the shelf. The space wasn't that tight, but as he drove his aisle by me, this decrepit looking guy which I think was on oxygen, grabbed my ass!

I left indignantly and told the clerk at the register.
