Happened to me several times, got the middle seat and the other 2 are companions who didn’t want to sit together yet they talk across me. Sometimes have to reach across me too and just pretend I’m not there.

This prolly makes me want to upgrade my seat more than the middle seat itself. I offered to switch but they didn’t want to. Curious if there was anything else yall have done.

I have never encountered that (I don't book middle seats). However, I would have been very low-key obnoxious, like turning my head and obviously listening back and forth to each side of the conversation. They couldn't ask you not to listen or even complain, really, because chose not to switch seats.

Or I would have "needed" to exit and make a walk to restroom with astonishing frequency.
