Worst seat on a Delta aircraft you have ever sat in

Missed my connecting flight out of ATL and had to settle for this one...

767 middle seat
in the back
next to a huge man

He wasn't all that fat; he was just huge, like a football player. I would guess 6' 6" 300 pounds 20% body fat. Luckily the other passenger was a petite woman. I didn't have to lean over much, but I had no elbow room on my right.

A middle seat on a 737 or 757 isn't too bad because I can still see out the window. But on a 767, I can see very little from that distance during take-off and nothing in flight.

Most people would consider back of the plane worse, but I actually prefer to sit back there, so this flight wasn't the absolute worst. When there are people in front of me, I don't feel as cramped (claustrophia light?).
