I'm just curious how your seatmate (3F) was during the 3hour flight with you right beside him !
In general I agree. But of all the exceptions where I wouldn’t be irritated, this is up towards the top of the list. A mobility issue is different than pure presumptuousness, and I could understand why someone on crutches didn’t go all the way into the window seat until it was confirmed other arrangements couldn’t be made.
