Lady next to me on 6 hour flight from LAX to LIH asked to switch my 8A window with her husband's 9B middle. I said 'No' and she goes 'You have no heart'. I replied 'It's not my problem you can't plan'

Why do these people always expect to trade bad seats for goods ones? Maybe she should offer her aisle or window seat for the middle seat. We'll say yes then.

like

Only offer a trade if your seat is equal or better... Common courtesy

Or if there's a young child involved... I traded down once when a mom and her 5 year old had two middle seats. What good is a window if there's a little girl crying right next to you the whole flight, when instead you can sit in the middle knowing you saved the other passengers from said crying

Yeah. I switched my window with middle once when a little girl said 'I want to sit next to daddy'

Unless a child is involved, aspiring seat changers can go f themselves. We spend too much time stuck in the air to be subjected to a middle seat. call me a bitch but #sorryimnotsorry

One half of a lesbian couple gave me $20 dollars once because I very begrudgingly let her trade seats so she could sit next to (and PDA the shit out of) her girlfriend. Was peeved but the crisp bill felt damn good.

Hi everyone I am relocating to Hyderabad next month. Even though I look forward to meeting new people I can’t seem to ignore the fact that I will move away from family. My family situation is already complicated, my mom and dad are not on good terms so we don’t live together and when I move it’ll get worse. I am financially independent but I feel guilty for not being there for them. Is there any possibility of getting transferred to Gurgaon office(a lot closer to my home)if I talk to my manager?

Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
