I get annoyed, get up and try to sit in the now empty middle seat next to his wife, The Cougar. He gets bent out of shape and asks me "Why are you sitting next to my wife?"

I go, "Well, the seat's empty. What's the problem? You yourself just sat down in an empty seat, right?

Triumphantly, he gets out. I reclaim the armrest.
