Those people usually ask for exit rows, as the row ahead doesn't

sufficiently fit to open the door and/or help their fellow
passengers out?

everytime I have had been given one of these seat by checkin,
the crew always switched me to some place else (I use crutches,
but I am in a lot better shape than most passengers, and I
guarantee you that I won't be the last out in case of emergency);

the funny thing is indeed to see the same crew place there
morbidly obese or drunk passengers...

never understood the logic of it.
