8. Unspoken Rules
Ah, the whole armrest debacle. Per Dude with a Sign, the middle seat should always get the armrest. Think about it. We all have our favorite seats – some people prefer window and others prefer aisle – but I think we can all agree that when you’re on a plane and stuck in the middle seat, you’re definitely in the worst seat in the house.
The person by the window gets to look out the window with no problem, as well as their own armrest on the side by the plane wall. The person seated by the aisle doesn’t have to be squeezed between two people and gets another armrest and easy access to the bathroom. Therefore, it’s only fair that the middle seat should get the armrest!
