Battling for the arm rest

The age old battle for the armrest hasn't gotten any easier. At the movies, on a plane, or in the car, the battle ensues and only one person can be named the victor.

Getting your elbow onto the armrest is the best way to lay claim. While the image above shows all parties involved in the armrest enjoyment, the true owner of the rest is the one with the elbows in place. Eventually those with only the forearm will remove themselves from the competition by their own free will or because the elbower will slyly push them out of his territory. 

While some people might enjoy sitting in a chair with their hands in theirs laps, let's be honest, if the armrest exists, then it's the place to be. Don't be afraid to take control of the situation early. In the battle for the armrest, all is fair -- so get in some good elbow jabs and forceful nudges. If not, you'll be lookin' like a fool sitting there with restless arms. 

And nobody likes a fool...
