The gamers are making it difficult for the people with genuine disabilities.
There was a post on the WN board about someone (Business select with an A1 boarding card) who was unhappy because a pre-boarder and his wife were sitting in both exit rows and saving the 4 seats for someone else. If one is pre-boarding they can't sit in the exit row (WN rules) but the FA ignored it all. Fair? No. But if many behave badly then bad behavior will become the norm.

Most people don't like schemers and if no one calls them on it they will continue to take advantage of everyone else - especially those who are genuinely disabled.And if one says nothing then they are giving the schemer tacit approval for their bad behavior.

Some believe that no one should say something to another. But I'll be very vocal and even become agressive if I see a large male abusing (physicially) a smaller female or anyone abusing a child. It is wrong and I won't pretend it isn't happening. Bad behavior is just a lesser form of this.
