Yesterday I was flying home for my grandma’s funeral. I place my bag in the overhead compartment and sit in my seat.
Lady (In the middle seat): Hey, would you like to switch me seats?
Me: NOPE. I do not like the middle seat. Me: And that is why I paid extra to make sure I got this aisle seat.
Lady: What?! You didn’t pay extra! My husband has an aisle seat and he didn’t pay extra.
Me: Lucky him.
Lady: But I’m going to need to get up to go to the bathroom a lot.
Me: As someone in the aisle seat, I understand that is a possibility. Just let me know when you need to get up.
Lady: 😠
She had two opportunities to select a seat, one when she bought a ticket, and another while checking in. And the airlines explain this concept multiple times. It’s not my fault you can’t read.
