Yes this happened to me *eeps* (I was the skinny one FYI) Another pet peeve!! : "Carry-On" does NOT mean "Carry-ALL your personal belongings and taking up the whole godammed aisle while you muck about shifting it around trying to fit your 500 lbs of crap above my head trying to pack it in the overhead" thx lulz at the obese traveler who purchases 1 tix, BUT the fat guy’s shoulder/body flab makes a great “travel pillow” to “accidentally” lean against on short haul flights.

And seriously, try putting the rolling bag into the overhead wheels or handle instead of just tossing it in willy-nilly and taking up half the space. 2- I traveled 50%+ of my work time for about 5 years, and it never failed that some jackhole in a suit would sit down next to me and s-p-r-e-a-d his legs and arms out like he was in first class. Hello. We are both flying Southwest Airlines here, buddy, and just because I'm female and fit into my respective seat does NOT give you the right to put your overinflated male ego in my personal space. I have been known to "accidentally" bash a guy in the shins and elbows with my bag ("oh, so sorry." "oopsie!" all said in a soft girlie voice) until he finally figured out he better move himself before I got really violent and brained him with my blackberry. 2 more! 2 more!
