The middle seat sux galore. It&#39;s the pits. Even worse, is the window seat with two others you have to negotiate with to get through to use the lav. Doing many hours on these flights is murder. Worst case I had was getting pounded by a Chinese old man as he kept kicking the hell out of my seat. I had to turn around a few times and stare him down like I was going to knock him on his butt. .....[/b]

Palms, you edited your post!

Your story reminds me of an incident that happened to me at 38,000ft. I was in first, (back in day when AA served a caviar entree and a curtain separated the classes) all of a sudden we heard a commotion in the back. It seems a woman had suffered a panic attack and was trying to open the door. There was a lot of yelling, then the sound of a loud slap followed by stunned silence. Next, something happened that today would be considered extraordinary, the pax apologized; she apologized to the FA&#39;s, the people she climbed over, everybody on the plane. Later the captain went back and she apologized to him too. Today I think she would have screamed bloody murder, threaten a lawsuit and we would have heard the captain announcing we were diverting to the nearest airport; times have changed, I miss my caviar.

Edited post: Because while I knew what I wanted to say, nobody else would&#39;ve had a clue.
