waste o time place

I went to Florida for several days in August.
I was lecturing at FetishCon and also manning the complaint booth.

2010 august 02 - SJC to LAS to TPA

Flew out of San Jose airport which was nice since I got to take more time to look at the changes there.







Spent the first night in clearwater and the rest of the days in Tampa at the swimming pool when i didn't have to work. when i wasn't there, i was probably eating.

early night for me at the pool. i had to wake up early...
 

2010 august 08 - Tarpon Springs
So Mike lent me his car so I could drive up north an hour to Tarpon Springs. I hooked up with Narcosis Scuba to go out with their boat on a dive trip. the water was like 80+ degrees!
unfortunately, the boat had issues so instead of diving, we had to turn back and the trip was canceled. I really wanted to go the next day but that night was also the final fetishcon party. And also, other things ended up making me miss the following day - and no, it wasn't anything related to alcohol or hangovers!

They were really nice though, and if i get back to Tampa, I'll ring them up again (Narcosis)

hmm. ok. how do to this in a PC manner...

ok. say you're boarding a flight.
you get to your seat and then the person seated next to you shows up (or could already be there).
that person also happens to take up about 1/3 of your own seat.

changing seats is not an option, the flight is full.
upgrades are also not an option.
(in this particular case, business class was also full. my flight was paid for by someone else. and i don't feel that i should be required to purchase an upgrade if i did not want to).

is there a legal complaint here?
i'm thinking about writing the airline (Frontier SJC-DEN) even though the flight is now over.
i didn't want to say anything during the flight because, well. i didn't want to embarrass the passanger next to me, and honestly, there wasn't any room on this particular flight to do it in a quiet space.
the plane was one of those 2x2 rowed things with a single WC in the back. the flight attendant had to get up from her single seat in the center aisle each time someone entered/exited the WC.

edited to add:
oh, and no the armrest could not be put down unless really pushed on (and allowed to cut into the other passenger's side).

and screw it, i wrote the airline:
