I agree with the mental anguish shit.

I got stuck next to a fattie on a flight to Hawaii once. The flight was full, I was in the window seat, he in the isle. I kept the arm rest between us down which kept the stomach rolls at bay, but the ass rolls bulged underneath it. And when he put his arms on the rest, the arm rolls would rub against me. I'm 6'1" and 175 or so, so there ain't much maneuver room in a coach seat for me to begin with.

I ended up standing outside the fuckin' bathrooms for a couple of hours until a sympathetic stewardess who had noticed my plight let me sit in a jump seat next to the emergency door.

The airline has a responsibility to make reasonably sure you are comfortable and getting what you paid for, which is a whole seat on the airplane. Not half a seat because they didn't want to risk offending some fat slob by charging him for both his ass cheeks.
