Norma Rodgers and her travel companion were just about to take off on United flight from Las Vegas to New Jersey when a lady they did not know, sitting in the middle seat between them started commenting on their size.

Norma, an oncology nurse, sat in the window seat. Her travel partner was in the aisle seat. But before the plane began taxing to the runway, the woman in the middle seat started complaining. She started throwing out insults about Norma and her male companion.

“I can’t sit here because they’re both so big,” she said loudly while using her phone. “Left and right. I can’t even sit here.”

Her comments continued: “I can’t breathe. I’m so squished.”

“I’m stuck, but at least they’ll keep me warm.”

Norma recorded the meltdown on her phone. She asked a flight attendant to try and find the woman a different seat, saying she refused to take any more abuse.

“I eat salad,” the woman rudely remarked as she got up.

The other passengers were appalled by the behavior and defended Norma and her partner. The video went viral with over two million views.
