Serious question but an odd one, I know... NSV? Kind of?
HA! Never seen it. I didn't fit too well into movie seats so I've never really liked movies.

Just learned the definition of "crop dust." Can't wait to use that. Thanks. ;)
Re "fat" and variations thereof, I'm a fan of the simple, descriptive, accurate words we can use to claim our histories, experiences, and identities.
I remember when nice people used to whisper (or even silently mouth) words like: homosexual, black, Mexican, and feminist. They also used to whisper words like cancer, bipolar, alcoholism, and rape.
The meaning and power of specific words may change over time, sometimes dramatically. After all, fans were once called "fanatics."

I find it easier to say "excuse me" face to face than ass to face. Plus, if I lose my balance, I can catch myself instead of landing in some poor persons lap. No that's never happened, but if obesity has taught me anything, it's how to logistically plan out all my moves so I'm prepared for any event that might embarrass me. So looking forward to living my life on the fly!

I tend to put my butt towards them. Something about putting my junk in their face seems even worse.
But, on another note - do you still have anxiety about the booths? I'm now a 5'8" man weighing 145lbs and I can not hep but immediately eyeball the booths when walking in a restaurant (old habits die hard). And when a restaurants has small booths I can still feel the old anxiety creeping back in, and I still feel a sense of relief when I fit. Like there is ANYWAY I can't fit in a booth now?? It's not a logic thing, it's an emotional thing. I'm 11 months out from surgery and have been able to fit in almost all booths for probably at least the last 8-9 months.
Eventually it would be nice to not even think about it!
You will totally get there. I was about a year before it started feeling natural not to worry about fitting.
