Fat guy in a little seat... Options

[Hartmann]

I have had a rollercoaster last couple of months but last month topped the list.

I needed to be in South Africa for work and the client did not want to pay the business fare due to the struggling economy down there. That's fine, I flew Virgin Atlantic in their "premium" economy section and the 24 hour trip went well. I get down there, start working for a few days and get an e-mail saying I have to be in Norway in two days. I let the client know, which pisses them off and I start hunting for tickets to Stavanger. Nothing. I finally found a seat on a KLM flight in the worst part of the plane, and I had a customer of size next to me, no, not some slightly overweight fella, this guy took up just about a whole two seats.

But that is not the end of the story my friends. As I am attempting to sleep, the overweight gentleman decides this would be the perfect time to pass gas. It was loud, really loud and it smelled awful. I turned my head, looked at him, and just shook my head.

It was the longest flight of my life. How do people think it is ok to fart right next to someone?
