Does it bother anyone else when friends / family think that just because you have points for a hotel that it’s “free”? My girlfriends want to go on a trip and just expect me to use points for our hotel room without them pitching in at all or in other ways. Just venting. Makes me not want to go.

Seating etiquette question:
I boarded a flight and when I got to my seat someone was in it and had fully unpacked into the seat. He wanted to sit next to the person adjacent to me.
He asked me to swap to a bulkhead seat and I declined.

I feel if he had waited until I got there, I would have been amenable. I was more stunned by the aggressive expectation that I would just move.

Was I wrong?

One day she left the grill on. Etc. There was another manager there training to run another store and she said I basically do a lot of the work while she doesn't do much. So she stood up for me.
