These FAs and their personal rules drive me nuts.
Have also heard the announcement on stop-overs multiple times "For those passengers flying on to XX city, please remain in your seats and allow our boarding Business Class passengers to be seated. Once that's complete you can change seats"

When flying with the wife, I board first (A-List) and take 11-B in the LUV seats if available. I hope/urge the exit row FA to stand in 11-C on the aisle (she/he has to stand in 1 of the 3 exit row aisle seats). If someone takes 11-C, no big deal. If someone asks if 11-C is available I tell them my wife is right behind them, but feel free to take the seat if they'd like. I check in the wife at T-24 and 95% of the time she ends up in 11-C without seat saving.
