Flew home from a work trip today. Dude in the middle seat really wanted to spread out. Wouldn't have been so perturbed except that he vibrated for 4 hours.

Like, anxious arm and leg vibration the whole flight, smooshed up against me. Don't even know what I could do about that, like "Sir, can you please compact your body slightly and stop vibrating?" Slightly sympathetic if he's afraid to fly - but also I don't want to be vibrated upon.

Like, "Sir, I am a happily married man, only my wife gets to vibrate upon me these days."
