It was only an hour flight so I wasn't too distraught about it. I had a single backpack as carry on so after making my way to the last few rows on a packed flight with a line boarding behind me I spied an isle seat and told the fellow at the window i'd be joining him leaving the middle seat open for the moment.

    Font - imamakebaddecisions I travel with a guy who likes to drink and spills his drinks constantly. He took the window and I took the aisle in a front-ish row, on a pretty empty flight to Vegas and a guy decided he wanted to sit between us.

Half an hour in and my buddy has already spilled 2 drinks on him and is loudly drunk talking over
