I looked at my boarding pass and said something to the effect of "OOPS, I'm sorry, I thought I was on this side" and immediately got up, grabbed my tote and purse and got out of the seat. He said "Don't you look at your boarding pass before you sit down?" rather snottily and I replied, "sorry, guess I'm dyslexic or something." He just wouldn't let it go, said "try to sit in your own seat next time". I apologized again and sat down on my side and I could hear him talking to the window seat passenger about how "some people" need to pay more attention to what they're doing. I considered offering to bang my head against the overhead or cut my wrists or something but just figured he was having a bad day.
