Sat my azz in a HS auditorium seat !!

I went to an award ceremony at the high school auditorium and sat in the seat as if I were a normal person. I didn't have to squeeze between the arm rests, my side fat did not overhang on the person next to me, and my knees didn't touch the row in front of me. I could walk through the the crowd and not have to squeeze sideways between people. People actually sat down next to me - without fear of fat cooties - this hasn't happened in years. It was truly remarkable, and I really enjoyed the event. Joe Bear

I had that happen to me too. I sat in a theater seat during a staff meeting and a first year female teacher sat down right beside me. Only because to her I  looked like just another friendly face, not the fat ass that needed the seat in the middle and one on either side to use as arm rests less than a year ago. Amazing, I keep waiting for the bubble to burst. Hope it never does.

Awesome guys! You just gave me a new goal! To be able to go to a new theater to watch a movie, without sending the kids in to make sure they have seats with arms that will fold up! A baseball game,  or a plane trip in economy would be nice too.. LOL.. ok.. maybe business... Dale

That's a great feeling isn't it.  My son's sophomore year in choir.  It was Godawful uncomfortable.  This year it's sweet.  Plop my ass down and don't even hit the arms on the way in.   Later, Dave
