Tennis Player Touched by Stalker Hotel Maid
Jesse Tabit October 06, 2016
In a recent interview, professional tennis player Andy Murray claimed he was stalked around Europe by a maid who woke him up in a hotel room he was staying at for a tournament.
“She came in and sat on my bed and started stroking my arm at about seven in the morning when I was still sleeping,” Murray said.
From then on, the woman reportedly began to appear at other tournaments the 29-year-old was in.
“I don’t know if that’s a fan thing? That’s a bit extreme, but that happened.”

Another example of why latching your door is a good idea.
Definitely not the one I was replying to! This should have been in response to the passenger suing Emirates.
Um...think you've the wrong article here!
Unfortunately, there is no objective way to determine whether a passenger is too large for the seat before he or she actually sits in it. Shape may suggest weight, but the reverse is not true -- someone can be 280 pounds and still fit comfortably. In my own case, my thighs hold most of my weight and will definitely push the armrest up a little IF I don't empty my pockets (which I always do -- makes it more comfortable for me, too). I also have broad shoulders, and even if I lost 100 pounds they would still be wider than the seat. I'm on the tall side, as well, but have never felt the need for extra legroom -- at least on my usual carrier, which hasn't yet scrunched normal seating to the "knees in your chin" stage. Of course, I don't travel on business so don't need to open a computer on my tray table; that would make a difference. I'd rather have the option of a wider seat. It is correct, though, that the world's individuals are growing larger, yet airlines seem stuck in 1950s measurements of average size. I'd be happy to see a re-introduction of "standard class," the version United in the 60s and early 70s. Seating was 3x2 in a plane that was normally 3x3 in coach; this was the "White" in their Red, White, & Blue service. (Note that "standard" was also the term used for coach service in DC-9s; seating was 3x2, but no wider than regular coach seating in Boeing planes and DC-8s.)
