Can't tell if you're joking. In case you're not...
What if someone is a nervous passenger and the only thing that calms them down is chewing ice or gum? Should I also avoid working on my laptop since the keys make a quiet clicking noise? Or turning pages in the book I'm reading?

I hate that so maybe it is a legitimate gripe.
And ding goes the call button while I block the aisle waiting for an FA to sort it out. If I get to my seat and the person next to me asks if I'm willing to switch with their companion, there's about a 90% chance I'll do it if it's reasonable (same cabin of service, aisle for aisle, etc. - I'll even do FC aisle for FC window on a short flight). If I get to my seat and they've already made the switch without asking, they'd better be giving me something that's clearly better (F/J for my coach, aisle for middle, etc.), otherwise I will be reclaiming my pre-selected seat.
