The point is...to each-his-own. If you want to keep your seat...then simply say so and move on. That 2 second interaction from your super busy life caused you no harm...and you could have ended up with something you more preferred.
The ignorant attitude of wanting to sit in the seat you picked? Guilty as charged.

And it is usually not as innocent as you state; it is people who do not plan ahead who arrive onboard and think they will trick you into moving in. After all, it's just a seat and we all get there the same time. Not a chance bud.
