Rude Seat Swapping Stories from '10

I realize this thread has been run a million different ways, but I really enjoy reading the outrageous stories of rudeness by other passengers assuming the seat swap or getting angry because the favor was refused. It's where I get my drama now that Grey's Anatomy has become annoying to me.

One of my favorites is from a David Sedaris book where he points out that he'd rather not be bullied into doing someone a favor.

I wonder if there are any other good stories in the past year?

Cheers,

PS I hope to hear stories rather then get into do you swap seats or not. If this thread be too incendiary then just close it, but I thought it would make for good reading. The only similar thread I found was in AC (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-c...-swappers.html) and there have been no updates since January. Figured I'd see how the UA crowd fared in 2010 as I have not been hit with a seat swap request in many years.

I see my thread has been moved, so I guess I'll see how everyone (not just UA) fared in 2010! Looking forward to some good stories! UA of course makes you pay for E+ and also has the UDU (Unlimited Domestic Upgrade) so seat swaps may be quite quiet on UA.
