Here's one for the Dr. Laura crowd -

I was flying PIT to DFW, seat 10F. Just before boarding, I checked to see that 10E was open (if not, then I would burn the upgrades). Yes, 10E was open, so I got on the plane and headed for 10F.

After settling in, a young man (12-14 years old) sits down in 10E. Turns out that he was travelling with his two sisters, who were quite obese. The three of them had bulkhead - 7D, 7E and 7F. The sisters took 7D and 7F and sent little brother back to find an open seat (10E).

What would you do in this situation?

(1) send the boy packing back to 7E where he belongs?

(2) welcome him to the wonderful world of row 10?

At first I was a little ticked off (at the sisters, not at the boy) but he slept the whole trip, and I watched "Almost Famous".
