followed by a cabin-wide applause for your efforts

Is it really the end of the world if you need to wake them up?

This wouldn't have been an issue on a 767.

Is that the same as Mr Spock's Vulcan Death Grip?

Next time use your plastic drink cup

Leave a little beer in the bottom and wake her up and ask her to hold it because you can't

Sounds like your attempts to wake her up failed.

That's not the same as 'wouldn't let me pass'

From what I can tell you never touched her, which if you need to wake someone, usually a tap on the shoulder would do the trick.

So....you did everything you could passive-aggressively to indicate your displeasure at not being able to get out, but you didn't actually wake her? How rude of her to keep sleeping!

That is also what I do, I’d rather be moving than asking someone else to move.

That's a whole other can of worms.

I pop the oxygen mask drop downs open with a paper clip so mine and the offending pax are dangling before us. I put mine on then violently shake the pax awake while screaming “WE’RE GOING DOWN!!!”

Worka every time.

Thanks
Also, I had chosen an aisle seat. Due to an act of God, Delta rerouted and the new flight (by a partner airline to India) put me in a middle seatr, stating that the flight was full!

Many times! First time, she was fully awake and talking to her friends. Late teen/early 20s she just ignored me. You all would have seen movies with invisible characters. I was one of them standing up, talking, and asking to be "let out"!
One thing I definitely didn't do is to touch the person. I always even keep a pillow as a buffer zone!
