You just keep arguing you want your old seat. I've had them push back before. They pretend they're doing you a big favor to upgrade to those awful regional J seats.. it's such a no brainier to stay in coach if you're sitting next to a friend and he/she can't be upgraded, especially given how ho hum the regional J hard product is, and genuinely bad the soft product is. Occasionally you have to drive that point home, to the point of being abrupt and rude and gets awkward. But they will put you back in your original seat eventually. My logic is, I paid for coach for me and my friend to sit together. Splitting us up violates a big reason I bought the ticket to begin with.
I was traveling along for my anniversary upgrades. So there are no problems.

For op-ups, there was only once I asked to seat with my travel companion in my original seat, but they upgraded my travel companion to sit with me instead.
