If someone asks me nicely, I'll switch for an equivalent or better seat according to my criteria.

If I find that someone has already taken over my seat without asking, I start with "excuse me, but this seems to be my seat...." I call the FA if the person doesn't move. I don't explain or negotiate, I just politely insist on getting my seat.
