Lets keep pushing it. No little old ladies either. No way they can open the door.

Of course we wouldn't want any teenagers either. Can't be relied upon.

The sad truth is, most of the people that make complaints like this have an underlying bias or just want the extra legroom for themselves.
I'd rather have the 400 pound football player in an exit row than the 80 year old grandmother who weighs 90 pounds soaking wet and who can't lift a 20 pound bag without help.
