Puritanical roots and all I presume. Again I'd like to point out this isn't me. I've been in locker rooms with gay men, slept in beds with gay men, maybe kissed a guy once I can't remember, but my point is that I can UNDERSTAND why straight men would feel uncomfortable in that sort of situation - which has kind of led…

Please point me to to all the co-ed locker rooms at various Gyms and athletic complexes.
But my point is don't women generally feel the same way regarding straight men who can likely control themselves, too? Isn't kind of a backwards double standard then?
Thank you for your constructive feedback. I don't think I said anything particularly offensive, it's just something I would imagine folks may have a problem with?
How does the Army do it with? Co-ed barracks and showers and everything like Starship Troopers?
Yes it does. If you are stowing your bags in an overhead compartment that is directly above someone who is sitting in an aisle seat, yes you are in their space, especially if you are fat. That would be a good time to say excuse me. However, if I was in that man's position I would never give a stranger etiquette advise…
Honestly I think people treat anyone like that if they take up a lot of room, whether it be because of body weight or a huge book bag, or a lack of self-awareness when orienting yourself. Bulky things are inconveniencing.
I always feel uncomfortable when people are putting their bags in the overhead bin if I'm in the aisle seat. They're very close and very likely to smash me with their bag at any given moment.
Also, is it possible that he was upset because she wasn't punctual? I sure would be, no matter what she looked like.
Yes. It is a violation of someone's space/invasion of their personal bubble/breach into the invisible box around a person when I lean against an airline seat to reach up and put my luggage in the overhead. That isn't to say the guy had a good reaction to the situation, but neither did Lindy. I am also unsure whether…
No, I totally get that, and that's what I was trying to get this person to admit they're really saying, but they'd rather pretend I'm dense and this is an argument about politeness.
Since Lindy didn't do a great job describing the situation, here's how I pictured it...
Yeah, she basically went from ruining her seatmate's day to everyone around her in earshot.
"aaw, that's great honey. Can you put that list on the pile of shit I ain't doing? I've got Netflix to watch."
" she has seen how sick you are and obviously thinks you're not sick enough to not be able to do some light housework."
Please stay home when you have been puking or have a fever. Your getting to work is not more important than everyone else's health.
As a migraine sufferer, the thing that makes me suspicious is people who claim Excedrin Migraine cured their migraines. Real migraines are not cured by Excedrin Migraine alone which, by the way, has the exact same ingredients as regular Excedrin. It might be a bad headache. But it is not a migraine.
Patriarchy!
Stop there, everyone. I vacuum and clean every day. She only makes it an additional chore on the days I'm sick. That's what I mean.
The wife comes up with chores for me to do when I'm home sick. I've never taken a fake sick day in my life - I'm known for it, in fact, at my job, but when I say I'm sick, I'm effing sick. I'm not doing your vacuuming or cleaning that day, honey.
When I was a kid my mother never believed me when I was sick or hurt. The flu, strep throat, even three broken bones. She always thought I was faking it, and she always assumed my younger brother was telling the truth. It's the one thing I've truly never forgiven her for.
