So the chair at your desk, arms or no?
Nope, I really dislike armed chairs. I have no idea what those arms are for, they are never in a place where you would want your arms to go and when I am at my desk my arms are engaged at the computer.

I guess I like the forced separation between people that an armrest brings. Even if I can't use it. The worst would be for no armrests and a very large person to be, leaning on me the whole time...
The armrests actually make it harder for them to get away. Not the armrest on your side by the one on the other.

That's only true on the isle side. The window is preventing it there, and well the middle person is just hosed. lol

The window has more room than the others because it doesn't have an arm rest.

Not true. Every plane I have ever been on has an armrest on the window side. Including the two I flew to and from Japan.

Maybe I have gotten "lucky" or have missed it.

Oh, maybe it goes up and I always push it out of the way and forget that it was there?

I am not saying every airline has them, just the ones I have been on recently do.

NBC 12 says: "WE ALL HATE I-95 TRAFFIC....but this morning, when this man found himself in a traffic jam on I-95 near Westhaven Connecticut, he decided to shed all of his clothing and sit on the roof of his car. Police were called and transported him to a facility for a mental evaluation. Coincidentally, or maybe not, today is National Nude Day."

FORD:
Found On Road Depressed? -
Hey, now. I'm driving a Ford these days... I prefer First on Race Day. 8-) ... Unfortunately, I tend to drive Flipper's close cousin -- an Escape. (The Ford Explorer was dubbed Flipper by my family because of the issue they had blowing out front tires and causing the vehicles to flip).
But I previously drove Chevrolet's (did anybody ever come up with an acronym for that one? LOL)

Also commonly referred to as the "Exploder"
