Some people should NOT sit on the aisle.
I was sitting in 36D, which was second in from the aisle.
A nice young woman who works for Burnes of Boston (very likely you've some of their frames in your house!) sat next to me, in the aisle seat.
She belonged in the E seats, not the C seats. Darned woman could sit for HOURS without budging, iPod buds in her ears, covered with her blanket, eyes closed, mouth slightly open, either deep in sleep or just zoned out. Hour. After. Hour. While I needed desperately to get UP. To visit the lavatory. Just to stretch my uncomfortable legs. Whatever. A few times I apologetically requested to be allowed to exit, which she civilly did.
People who can fly indefinitely for hours without moving a muscle shouldn't be taking up an aisle seat, that's what I say.
Aisle seats should be inhabited by those who like to get up regularly, thus providing plenty of opportunities for those in the inner seats to do the same.

Glad to see you've made it. Have a wonderful time, Anne!
How're you feeling? Man, do I hate center seats.
She does sound like a prime candidate for a window seat.
Glad you arrived safely and I hope the surgery goes well.
No, she's a prime candidate for a CENTER seat. Some people like to watch The Earth passing by underneath, and are very frustartated when they see that a window seat has been occupied by an avowed snoozer.
