Do as I say, not as I do
Hi - I have donations given to Team Everest for Nov 2021 with receipt. But IBM AskHR says no support for donations tax exemption on Form 16. Thus, the donation isn't deducted on my Form 16. Can I now update the donation directly on E-filing.gov u/s 80G for exemption or will that cause an issue ? IBM

I said no to a guy who was sitting in my seat, and when I arrived to my seat he looked up asked me to switch my aisle seat for his middle seat in the next row because his wife and baby had the aisle and middle seat in the same row as me but on the other side of the plane. I told him I don't sit in middle seats. I may have said yes, but was a bit peeved that he was sitting in my seat before asking me if he could switch with me. Still most likely would've said no, because I really do not like sitting in the middle.
It depends on where the requester is sitting. The last time I was asked, I had no problem agreeing since she was offering me her first class seat to sit in coach next to a friend she hadn't seen in a couple of years.
You absolutely have the right to keep your seat, which you carefully planned and paid for. The folks asking for seat swaps are obnoxious entitled asswipes that can’t get their shit together to book the seat they need, so they dump the burden of their personal wants on others. Ridiculous!!! Unless like D1, you were being something better or something you wanted, it’s a straight out no complimented with a stink eye!!!
I said yes once, ended up in front of couple children who screamed and kicked my seat for 8 hours non stop. My head hurt so much that it was sensitive to touch. Never switching again
With the cost of air travel, all the add ons, and limited accommodation and amenities provided by the airline these days, NO WAY will I give up the seat that I used points for or paid for to specifically book ( in advance!!). Don’t wait until the last minute to manage your booking or cheap out if you actually want to sit next to the person you are traveling with. If it was a mistake by the airline then have them fix it, but if you want my seat you are going to have to pay me the $30-50 I paid the reserve it + interest to get me to move. Sorry not sorry.
I have said yes to swapping seats because a lady did not want the window or a couple wanted to sit next to one another. Since it t did not interfere with sitting next to my kid, it was not an issue.
With that said, I have been in the predicament when I chose not to pay for seats and my daughter was seated in a different row. This happened twice, and I was too embarrassed to ask someone to switch since both our seats were in the back of the plane. I did ask someone when we had one seat in the front of the plane and the other in the back.
