"window shade etiquette" has been cussed and discussed in numerous threads over the years; as is typical for pretty much any subject, people tend to get very vocal about their very strong opinions regarding one's "right" or "entitlement" to take action or to request someone else to take action

I'll close the shade PART WAY if someone asks nicely, but I booked the window seat because I like to be able to look out the window when I'm awake ... and yes, that even includes looking at the stars over open water at night
