Is this common practice on LH? Does this sound acceptable, or is it even allowed?

I would appreciate any comments on how to address this with LH.

Many thanks!
In my memory there is a decent amount of space between the exit row and the jumpseat and while it may be irritating to have somebody staring at you, on a nightflight I wouldn't mind too much.

Think of it that way: This seat certainly still was preferable to about 300 others on the same flight ^

(And to put things into perspective: As a *G on UA I got adapted to expect nothing, considering myself happy if not being squeezed into a middle seat)
