Reply #205: That is wrong. She bought the seat, it was hers. What gives them the right to seat someone there?

For that matter, what about the poor person that they sat next to them? Another double standard, I am a big man, not overly tall, but I naturally heavily muscled and then years of powerlifting left me with a huge frame, and I tip the scales at 275 lbs. I never have to buy two seats though because my waist is not large and I do not have a large belly, so the belt always buckles easily with plenty of room. My shoulders however, spill onto the seat next to me, or about 1/3 out into the isle if I am on a the end. I have never been asked to buy another seat, but I do feel sorry for the folks who sit next to me and would do it if asked.
