But 8A and 9A are identical seats on the 738 so it would be nice if someone would swap, is all I'm saying.
So someone who declines your request is "the worst version of themselves"? Seats are theirs to retain and not yours to demand because you think you cannot be apart from your spouse for a few hours. Newsflash...that's nobody's problem but yours.
YOU are the presumptuous one here. YOU are the one who thinks your wants..and they are just that wants, not needs...are to be granted or the person is somehow terrible.
Common courtesy is not imposing yourself upon others for selfish reasons...not granting each and every selfish request.
