My middle seat story happened a few years ago when me and my family were going from Honolulu to Minneapolis/St. Paul, an 8 hour flight. The airline broke out the DC-10 to make the journey and when we got on board I saw the seats went 2-5-2. I looked at my ticket and found I was the lucky middle seat passenger in the row of 5. Of course the other 4 people in my row showed up so I prepared for the worst. Before we even took off people on either side of me already claimed the armrests so for 8 hours, even while eating, I couldn't use the armrests. A few hours after that I had to get up to use the restroom and wouldn't you know, everyone in my row is asleep. I went through the "should I wake them" dillemma. I had to so when I got back to sit down I got the look. The rest of the flight was rather uneventful, just more of my personal space invasion. So there is my middle seat story.
