why are we all of the assumption that a "normal sized" person does not infringe on a neighbor's seat? i've had people fall asleep and bob their head toward my shoulder, i've had men sitting with their legs spread wide enough to play footsie with me.
what the hell does "normal sized person" mean anyway. wake up and look around. this is the most overweight country in the world, and kevin smith is not the only one.

Perhaps Southwest should adjust their 25 year old policy. Take an example from Six Flags. They place duplicate seats at the entrances of certain rides, so people can make sure they fit before waiting an hour in line. But how dare you call out someone who obviously fits into a seat in front of an entire waiting aircraft.
Ignorance in this country appalls me, but I'm still not surprised to hear people yelling "if you're fat, then buy two seats." I don't necessarily disagree with that, if the passenger does not fit into one seat. However, Kevin Smith has made it quite clear that he sat comfortably in one seat, with the armrests down, and does not require a seatbelt extension. Yet he prefers to purchase a second seat so he doesn't have to sit next to jerks and creeps and make BS smalltalk. I've got social anxiety issues myself, and I wish I could afford to do the same.
You should all really listen to Kevin's SModcast, and find out exactly how tactless these employees were. www.smodcast.com
I've never personally experienced nasty employees like this with Southwest, but blatant disrespect like that is enough to make me favor ANY other airline, bag fees or no.
