Although the last time I flew somewhere, I got stuck with a middle seat. I had to sit hunched in on myself because I didn't want my shoulders smushing the people on either side of me. Always helps in those situations to try and strike up a conversation and that way you're not awkwardly jockeying for position with the person next to you for the whole damn flight. Luckily the people on either side of me were relatively small women so I wasn't really taking up any space that they were using.
I've got the same problem. And, if I get stuck in regular economy, my feet are so big I can't point them straight ahead either. But the last two times I flew with someone next to me, one of them was with my now ex, who used the shoulder to sleep on, and the other time, I was sitting next to a really tiny woman.
The woman was nice and tried to offer me part of her dinner though
Their "One size fits all" meals don't really work when you're 210 lbs
