What you describe (people wanting the shades closed) is not "me, me, me" it's "we, we, we". That's why the FAs will always take the "close the shade" side.
So what entitles them to anything more than those who want the windows open? If you don't like the windows open, choose a window seat. Or as pointed out bring eye shades.
It seems we have grown to a generation of being entitled to watch TV and Movies. Where someones inconvenience overrides someone else's health and comfort. Lives in a dark tube so we don't have to see anybody else and don't have to acknowledge anyone else.
Why are people so obsessed with sleeping and sitting in the dark during the day anyways?
