Reminds me of a time I SDC'd to stand-by on an earlier flight. I was first on the stand-by list, and just before boarding started, they paged me up to the gate. The conversation:
Agent (nervously): So we have 1 seat left, but it's in the middle, last row
Me: Great, I'll take it!
Agent (much more jovial): Ah, some people aren't interested at all
Me: I'll get home 2 hours earlier. Works for me.
After boarding and settling in for 90 minutes of compression, they came back and handed me a re-assignment to 17A exit row window.

PDXPremier -- thanks for leaving these seats available for me.
