On my flight today, it was full. 100% full.
I needed to use the restroom so while people were boarding I left my things in my seat and went to the back of the plane.
What this means is that I have to wait for everyone to find a seat before I can get back to my seat - since I sit around 6-7 rows from the front.
There were two women in the row with me. I thought ok - this is going to be an ok flight, a 3 hour flight.
Before we even took off, the woman next to me said "Excuse me, but can we share the armrest". That doesn't sound rude but trust me it was. So I thought ok - let me just not even touch the armrest and let her have it.
I could tell she was odd - you know how you can just tell. Like she was either nervous or frustrated or irritated.
When the ding happened, and we can legally get out our electronics. I brought my laptop out and connected to the wireless (for free). The girl that was in the aisle seat brought out her iPad. She was trying to connect. I asked her if she would like my password so that she could connect.
The woman in the middle flipped out. She stated "I bought a ticket and this is my space. Why don't you two just sit together?" I explained that we didn't know each other and I was just trying to help her. She kind of lost it. So the girl on the aisle said it wasn't that big of a deal and we are all sitting and minding our own spaces.
Seriously. I haven't had that abrupt of a reaction in a long time. Crazy!
