I was reminded of Rona's blog of a few weeks ago about armrests when I went to an off-Broadway last week. (Rona's armrest incident was on an airplane.) As I found my seat in the small theatre, I could have been mistaken for taking the seat already occupied by the woman in the next seat. When she re-arranged herself, her coat and her pocketbook, I was able to sit -- only to encounter the challenge of the armrest between our seats. As I tried to get comfortable, my arm settled on the armrest only to be bumped by hers. And then came the unexpected. "We can share the armrest." A nice offer but the thought of her arm resting against mine didn't work for me. I laughed politely without making any commitment. I slid closer to Flo who was in the other seat next to me, shared her armrest, and enjoyed the show.
