I haven't seen three seats in a row in C-Class in donkeys' years . . .

No, but I've been assigned to a middle seat and then both people conveniently fell asleep! Sometimes, I'd have a compromise where the other guy would put his elbow nearer to the back while I use the length of my arms so my elbows will be towards the front.

This means people trust you and feel comfortable when you are close to them. That's generally good.

South East Asians generally have little to no sense of personal space.

Yeah, and that tends to play havoc with westerners in social settings where the average comfort zone is arms length compared to the Asian's elbow length.

Personal space in economy is for limited time only in the place called lavatory.
Besides, Westerners are often bigger, fatter and do with the armrests exactly the same.

old man sustains fractured eye socket in brawl over parking.

i personally think there is no direct connection between good manners and population but there it is being pointed out as the main reason for peoples' need for anger management in this country. i just think when you are a nice person you are nice no matter how many people you get in contact with.
