Okay everyone, ignore the pretty lady for a second and listen up good.
If you are in the middle seat on an airplane, jetiquette dictates that it is you who is entitled to both arm rests. Your seat neighbors each have one guaranteed. Don’t let anyone crowd you out of what’s yours.
I fucked up my back defending my armrests on a 12 hour flight. Person in the isle seat (who had lots of room I’m skinny) tried to elbow me out in the first five minutes so I grabbed the armrest and held on. They “accidentally” hit me with their carry on, threw elbows repeatedly, tried to push me when they sat down after using the restroom. I didn’t fucking move. My armrest. Worth it to hear the entitled person bitch loudly to their friends how they were crowded the whole flight. Fuck em.
For situations such as this, the British have invented the exasperated sigh, which can be escalated to a “tut” and then adjusted in intensity as needed.
The Germans have mastered the art of telepathically emanating an aura which lets the person next to you feel what they did wrong, without any sound or even eye contact.
Very efficient!Americans are unfortunately left without options here.
The natural response of shooting your neighbor in justified self defense is not ideal on a plane. And neither is it possible to mount your horse and displace some Native people further west when you feel crowded.Obviously, speaking up is never an option.
I would argue the person at the window seat should get both, they’re squished against a wall so their armrest hardly counts. Middle seat and aisle seat should get their left armrest.
Interesting perspective. I think the prevailing idea is that in addition to each having their own arm rest (we will get to your qualm with the arm rest in a moment), both the window and the aisle have their own advantages, while the middle seat has no advantages. Simply put, no one wants the middle seat, so the only compensation is that you get first refusal on the shared arm rest, since both of yours are shared.
Pros/cons in review:
Aisle seat pros: guaranteed arm rest, and easy access for to the bathroom.
Aisle seat cons: the guaranteed arm rest is sticking out in traffic, so to speak, and your elbows (and knees) are at constant risk of bumping by passengers, or worse, beverage carts in the aisle. Plus you may be disrupted by people in either middle or window seat needing to use the bathroom.
Middle seat pros: no risk to elbows/knees from aisle?
Middle seat cons: no dedicated arm rest, minimal elbow room, need go climb over someone to use the bathroom, but may also be disturbed by the person in the window seat needing to use the rest room
Window seat pros: dedicated arm rest (I have never heard a complaint like yours, or had reason to complain myself since the walls are slightly concave), no risk to elbows/knees, no one will disturb you to use the rest room, access to a window and control of the shade
Window seat cons: need to disturb 2 people to use the rest room
Model for Venus de Milo, if someone wants to make another.

Thanks for sharing.
I like how Lemmy is small enough that I recognize you from the surge protector thread
The thread sounds intriguing, mind linking it?
Oh man it was a week or two ago and was not that interesting so I’ll have to paraphrase lll
Someone posted a photoshopped power strip with like 100 outlets. Someone else said “they’re almost real” and linked a 30-outley (?) one from a company called SUPERDANNY. I said I’d be too scared to plug anything into a brand I had never heard of and DannyBoy commented that he’s heard of them. I said I wasn’t surprised
Hello fellow house fire enthusiast :)
That gameshow where they have to go through the moving cutouts.
Showerthought: If she had only one arm she would be great at being the big spoon (without struggling with where to put the other arm)

Has been battling cancer from what I see posted online (I don’t have Instagram so can’t really see how she’s doing)
Cancer on top of everything she is facing? I hope she wins that fight for her life!

I mean, insert sexist joke of choice here. There’s so many options to go with.
There are a couple of problems with that though, from what I can see, she can still run.
Bobbing for apples?
Engineering, I would think. Unless she dropped out or flunked.
Rolling down hills?
Doing the worm
Probably not boxing
Kickboxing! Also before anybody corrects me, no, I have no clue what the sport looks like xD
I’d assume it also includes Boxing?
reverse engineering
Oh bravo.
she is so pretty with her no arms
Flender ass response
