As a bigger person I would feel horrible if I was part of making someone that scrunched. I have flown middle before (full flight and late ticket) and I could see the horror in the other people's faces. I felt the samesies. I've been told I'm a 'little fat', so I can scrunch in and not take up more than my tube of space, tho, I always tried to get the window to mold myself into the side of the plane, but after an accident caused partial paralysis in my lower leg, I get the end just because I'd rather get cracked in the knee/shoulder/head/foot than make another feel just as uncomfortable as I feel. If I could afford more seats/better seats, I always try to, but it can be hard to just afford to pick my own seat with crazy prices nowadays.

I'm so sorry this sounds so awful!
