When I was in high school, two years in a row we took trips where when my parents were selecting seats while booking, I pulled up Seatguru and tried to warn them one of the rows they were selecting was one of the rows "Missing a Window". Don't know why they wouldn't listen (I even recall trying to show them on Seatguru) but they refused to listen so two years in a row, they put some of us in a row without a window (both times were on 767s and we were selecting two sets of two for the four of us). At least both times they admitted they erred and at least they did learn after the second time and began to listen more and ask me more about seat selection going forward.
