I would have been happy too.

I'm not a saint. I'm not claiming that it wouldn't bother me to have somebody else pressed up against me for hours.

I'm one of those people who really don't like being casually touched.

I am hug-averse, unless you're related to me by blood.

But kicking up a fuss seems unduly mean-spirited and petty to me.

I know a few people who are obese and from what theyve told me however uncomfortable this situation makes you, it is far worse for them.
