I think I might have said in 2B and was supposed to sit in 1B, although I can't remember exactly, but the guy I think just thought I was dumb and sat in my seat. So it isn't always being strategic even if you fly a lot. You might just be too tired to pay that much attention.
lol. I've done this 2x in the past year. Both times I have gotten up in an attempt to move to the *correct* seat. The displaced pax were more than kind and just sat in my original seat (first was 2F vs 1F where me the big dummy was sitting, second was the isle seat vs the window they should have been in -same row). I'm trying to be better about checking my ticket these days.
