nlp, this is a tough question. On the one hand, sometimes being nice and helping out people is the right thing to do, yet when people take advantage of you, it is a major annoyance.
What people who ask you to give up your seat must realize is that they are putting you on the spot. If they want to trade seats, I agree that they should be offering the "better" seats to consolidate their seating around the person with the "worst" seat. If seating is that important, why didn't they plan in advance????
Yet on the other hand, being hit with a conscience attack is tough too after you refuse someone's request.
Confused,
