Yep, I think D and F guys might have been more willing if she had sat in her assigned E seat and then asked them if they wanted to switch once they got there. Having already situated herself in the F seat, it kind of sets a bad perception from the start that she presumed others would accommodate her request of switching seats. It does not feel great to be stuck in a middle seat, but I have yet to meet anyone who genuinely prefers it over a window or aisle seat.
