Maybe. But I tend to get walked all over in other parts of my life, so I must be doing something wrong because I'm always asked on an airplane as well. Heck, someone tried to switch with me last month because he didn't like the middle business class seat on a 12 hour flight. Didn't want to sit next to anyone, just wanted my aisle seat.
