OR... go to one of the 24 hour Walmarts at around 2am tonight, find a chair, move it 1' into the isle, sit in it. Try to sleep or entertain yourself. Tonight, the IFS is OTS. Just your luck.

Then 3 more hours of MSFS in the dark room.
That reminds me. Find something to wedge your foot under as you sit in that chair at walmart. That's what it's like when you're feet are being crushed by the guy in front of you.
As to the "wide load" issue, there is a simple solution a Captain once showed me. Take the tray table and pull it straight up but don't put it down. Now put the cover in the chair arm back down so the try is now stuck in the vertical position. It is surprisingly strong. You shall be granted freedom from the "you're just a pilot brush".
Best situation possible, 3 man crew and getting a 767 with the condo. You can fart all you want during your short break and nobody will know. You will sleep like... well like my wife would if the 10 week old and 2 year old would sleep 12 straight hours tonight and if it was a foggy dark morning and we had no where to go.
That's until one of the service carts gets flipped over next to the condo. Experienced that once.
