Currently somewhere over Chicago on my way JFK-SFO. In the aisle seat on a packed flight.

Guy in middle seat has his elbow over the arm rest and into my seat area, right at the seat back. So while I'm typing I really have nowhere to put my elbows without slamming into him. If I need to move my arms and center myself in the seat, for instance to avoid getting rammed by the cart, I get his elbow in my side.

Do I -

A) Continue the passive aggressive elbow war and be okay ramming my elbow into his
B) Politely ask him to move his elbow, explaining that while I appreciate he is in the middle seat, he needs to respect the bounds of my seat.
C) Give up. Decide it's not worth it, put the computer away, watch the Oscars.
D) Up the ante from passive aggressive to aggressive aggressive and go on the offensive. Current ideas include i) ordering some red wine and then spilling it on his lap, ii) coughing to get his attention, and then start Googing 'coronavirus symptoms', iii) waiting at the end of the flight for everyone to deplane before exiting, trapping him, and iv) releasing a massive amount of flatulence.

Our time to destination is 4:20. Let me know what you think.

PS - This is all in good fun. Settle down.
