      no arm rests what so ever.. that would suck!

      That part I love, I hate airline armrests.

      Why, because they are narrow and only one passenger can use them?

      That and they take up seat space and I don't want my arms resting on them.

        So the chair at your desk, arms or no?

        I guess I like the forced separation between people that an armrest brings. Even if I can't use it. The worst would be for no armrests and a very large person to be, leaning on me the whole time...

          Nope, I really dislike armed chairs. I have no idea what those arms are for, they are never in a place where you would want your arms to go and when I am at my desk my arms are engaged at the computer.

            The armrests actually make it harder for them to get away. Not the armrest on your side by the one on the other.

              That's only true on the isle side. The window is preventing it there, and well the middle person is just hosed. lol

                The window has more room than the others because it doesn't have an arm rest.

                  Not true. Every plane I have ever been on has an armrest on the window side. Including the two I flew to and from Japan.

                    Maybe I have gotten "lucky" or have missed it.

                      Oh, maybe it goes up and I always push it out of the way and forget that it was there?

                        I am not saying every airline has them, just the ones I have been on recently do.

                            Seems to be never ending traffic issues here.

                              This pretty much sums up Connecticut on I95...

                              Interstate 95 in Connecticut: Naked Man Sitting on Top of Car Causes Traffic Delays

                              The man was spotted sitting naked on the roof of a car during rush hour Tuesday morning. Police apprehended the man and took him to the hospital, officials said.

                                  NBC 12 says: "WE ALL HATE I-95 TRAFFIC....but this morning, when this man found himself in a traffic jam on I-95 near Westhaven Connecticut, he decided to shed all of his clothing and sit on the roof of his car. Police were called and transported him to a facility for a mental evaluation. Coincidentally, or maybe not, today is National Nude Day."

                                      He's obviously disturbed. Driving a Ford Focus? Really?

                                          Hey, now. I'm driving a Ford these days... I prefer First on Race Day. 8-) ... Unfortunately, I tend to drive Flipper's close cousin -- an Escape. (The Ford Explorer was dubbed Flipper by my family because of the issue they had blowing out front tires and causing the vehicles to flip).

                                          But I previously drove Chevrolet's (did anybody ever come up with an acronym for that one? LOL)
