I was on ORD-RDU flight last week, when pushy passenger starting negotiating with all of us in exit rows, with request that one of us give up our seat so her boyfriend could sit with her. Boyfriend's original seating assignment was somewhere near back. My husband and I wouldn't budge. Nice man across aisle graciously volunteered. Here's where it gets good: Women and boyfriend get settled and are so happy. Another women, with 3 children takes row right in front of them. Three children (ages 4, twins ages 2) cry almost entire trip, most often hanging over back of seats crying right in faces of women & partner. Children (twins) climbed over, completely over, seatbacks at one time. Child spills one of those little cups on woman who negotiated these seats. Mother seemed to think it was funny. I was so sorry that the man, who so kindly relinquished his seat, could not have seen this all unfold. I endured it all from across the aisle and I just hope he was sitting quietly, with good seatmates, someplace in the back.
