Spider- that was brilliant!
Ok, now I understand the 5'6" vs 6'6" thing, but I don't really agree. FWIW, I'm a window guy (mostly because I am sooo big and need the window to sleep against, also because I get bumped by the FA's if I sit on the aisle) and I do try to plan my activities on long flights so that I don't disturb my seat partner (one of the reasons I've switched from beer to vodka) but if I gotta get up….then you gotta get up. If you're asleep, I'm sorry, but as my great-grandmother said " There's more room out then in!" Now of course you can think "that's easy for you to say, you're 6'6"" but really do you think that if the situation was reversed that I would kick your butt on the plane because you woke me up? Really... I think the real solution to these issues is communication. I almost always introduce myself to my seat partner and develop a little rapport with them. It makes these issues (potty break, snoring) a little easier to deal with. So to wrap it all up.... Wake me if I'm snoring, Little guy.

At 6'6" -'coach' is a dirty word!
