This wouldn't be a point I'd raise at all if I haven't seen several people board early and put the armrest up immediately since it can't go down.
Not really trying to start a flame war, just trying to show I am comfortable joking about it. I can't tell you how many threads I see here about the horror of being stuck next to a fat, disgusting person. (Which you did not convey at all.
)
What I find quite offensive is the terms "person of size" or "heavy-set"... Just call me fat or obese already!
I guess my point is that how do you really know until the plane takes off. Any self-respecting gastropod can force that armrest down until takeoff. (And the obnoxious guy gives fat people a bad name... We are jolly, darnit!)
