In my younger days, I was a flight attendant and I saw soooooooo much of this BS.

And, of course, the person wanting a different seat always put pressure on the flight attendants to “persuade” the other passengers to give up their seats.

Unless there were absolutely special circumstances, nope, nada, not going to happen.

And now as a 6’1” man with long legs who loathes being in the window or middle seat — as in I truly can’t handle it for very long — I either plan carefully or pay for my aisle seat.

So don’t try ask or try to shame or bully me into giving up my seat.

Not. Gonna. Happen.
