1. Had to hide the fact I was too chubby to snap the seatbelt, thusly I was unbuckled the whole way to Savannah and pride kept me from telling the steward.
2. That five minutes after take-off which is the most dangerous but the most exciting.
3. Lights turned off during turbulence over Dallas.

Seats that are too small (width and especially seat pitch) to be even reasonably comfortable for even a regular sized person, and that could literally cause circulation problems on a long flight. With the abundance of regulations on so many aspects of air travel, why can't there be a more reasonable standard on overcrowding on planes? That is definitely a public health/safety issue.

Also, until the seating is more reasonable, the oaf in front of me should not be able to recline their set back so it bangs into my knees. That may give my knees some uncontrollable "spasms", though where my knees start involuntarily banging into the seat in front of me.

I also dislike the bait and switch on airline seats. I've had several occasions where I've selected aisle or window seats well in advance of the flight, but end up getting an uncomfortable middle seat? I wonder who has ended up with the seats I reserved with my tickets?

Other humans hence the reason I only fly in the evening or overnight.
There were times it was me and 2 or 3 other passengers on that great big airplane.

Someone with bad BO sitting next to me. Someone with stank breath sitting next to me. Someone who takes their shoes off sitting next to me whose feet smell like a bag of rotten curry juice. Kids sitting in the seat in front of me who turn around and just stare at me for the entire flight. People with no "inside voice" who talk the entire flight.

If you cannot handle your own luggage by yourself, don't take it.

You should switch to a carryon that fits under your seat.

I don't know why you expect men or anyone to help you.
