And all this drama for an approximately 42-minute flight. Goodness.

I'm quite willing to swap to accommodate couples or families as long as I'm asked first and the result doesn't land me in a middle seat. I grow completely unwilling when a swap is performed pre-emptively (e.g., I find someone in my seat) or the other party assumes I'll be willing to compromise my comfort to enhance theirs.
