Do you think I'm getting up every hour because I want your aisle seat? I don't want your freaking aisle seat. I want to avoid getting a pulmonary embolism and dying. (You want that too; that event would disturb your peaceful flight much more than getting up a few times to let me into the aisle, which I know is a terrible hardship for you.) Since you apparently need to be told, no, I didn't deliberately decide to give myself the Factor V Leiden genetic mutation that causes my blood to clot more readily than most people's. But I guess in your world only bathroom breaks count as "nature" calling.

I remain confused as to why you choose to sit on the aisle if your top priority is never leaving your seat?
