I had to go to MA via United airlines, I'm not a big proponent of flying....   So I got on the plane and to start with I was sandwiched in between 2 guys whose combined weight was around 575 lbs.   The 18" seats were not wide enough to accommodate their 24" wide butts so they spilled over onto my seat like a bag of pudding, just oozing fat onto my shoulders and arms.  To top that off there was a lady a couple seats back who had this nasally chainsaw voice which pierced through my Bose noise cancelling headphones even with my music playing loudly.  I even tried Guns N Roses and she still made it through Axle's voice.  I was waiting for someone on the plane to snap at her but nobody did.  I did get a smile from a guy to my right saying that he thought it was as outrageous as I did that this lady could talk so much, it was comical.   And the icing on the cake was the barking dog.  I had no idea that you could bring a dog on the plane like that, I thought they had to put them down below in the cargo area, the dog barked the whole time.  It was a surreal experience that I just wanted to share with everyone.  We've come a long way in air travel.
