When I boarded my flight two days, ago, someone was in my seat. He and his g/f wanted to sit together and told me I could sit in her seat, which was a cramped middle seat. I have a bad knee and when possible avoid those seats. I politely told them that I had paid for that seat including because of my knee. They said they couldnt' sit in their assigned seats because someone else was in there, but refused to tell me which seats those were. I said if there was a family with kids trying to sit togehter, I would make sure they can do that. They continued to argue with me until the flight attendant had to get involved.

Why do people do this? it puts the other person in an awkward position where you feel like you are somehow the bad guy in the whole thing.

Again, if there is a young child needing to sit with a parent, I'm 100% fine with accomodating that. But I'm not going to take a worse seat so you and your partner can sit together.

And then on the second flight dude next to me had taken something and was out of it. He spent most of the flight full on sleeping on my chest and shoulder. I'll be honest, I was intimidated by him. He was very large, grumpy, and just seemed off. I didn't want to have a real problem with him while hurtling through the sky.

Long day of travel.

What a bunch of selfish #######s. I hope you farted the entire time both ways.
