Yes, but I feel the exact converse - I'm sure you're a perfectly nice person, but I don't understand your thinking at all.

If I arrive at 31A and there's someone sitting there, and they say "Do you mind moving to 29F so I can sit with my kid?" my response is "Sure, no problem." 30 seconds later I'm in 29F flipping through Hemispheres.

I simply don't understand why this is such a big deal. Life is too short, karma, blah blah blah etc.

Maybe it's a cultural thing - I'm Canadian, after all

That being said, no one has ever been rude to me about it, mostly they're pleading and hopeful, and as I've said many times before, it's no skin off my nose.
