This is a very noble perspective. I myself would hesitate, and then go ahead and ask politely if they'd switch. You never know, sometimes boldness pays, or they have a different set of concerns, or [insert other rationale].
Asking politely for a possible inconvenience isn't itself rude. In my book.
But yeah, if they refused I'd probably beat them about the head with my willfulness. Cause I'm civilized like that.
