The seat pad was only half the thickness of the rest of the seats on the plane and there was no arm rest on the bulkhead side of the seat. Most uncomfortable coach seat I've ever had to sit in.
She gave you the exit seat because she thought you had a better than even chance of opening the exit without chipping a nail. I get 'em all the time, even though I have my two service dogs with me.
