On one of my recent flights there was a 70-ish couple in the exit row. The FA asked for confirmation that they were willing and able and the man said to his companion, " don't worry honey, we will help you". The FA took this as "yes" and walked away.
I saw the same thing on a PS flight but the f/a moved them and the man went crazy.

The FA told him fine, take another flight. Either sit down this second or deplane. He sat down
