That would have been awesome if they could just pull out the CC scanner right then and there and charge her for the seat.
No "kindness" on the part of the OP, just a rational determination that any delay here would potentially cause him to miss his connection. Lady had him by the cojones, whether she realized it or not. You have to pick your battles, and this was apparently not worth it to the OP. I probably would have done the same.
