Many years ago i was on an AirUK Shorts 360 from AMS to HUY and a very drunk Brit was due to sit next to me. He was so drunk he couldn't talk, wouldn't sit down and kept yelling out. I refused to sit next to him but was told that the plane was full and i had to, i then said i would get off but wouldn't sit next to him. The Captain then turned up to tell me I had to let him sit next to me because the plane was full so I again said i would get off. At this time the drunks mate( they were going on leave from an oil rig) offered to sit next to me and the drunk could sit in his seat. The new neighbour said he didn't want the drunk but was told their wasn't any alternative and relented. About halfway through the flight their was a commotion up front when the drunk stood up and threw up all over the head of the passenger in front of him.
I am sure this was a very isolated incident but i was at a loss to understand why the Captain was looking after the interests of the drunk and not me..
