After triumphantly getting an aisle seat for my flight to DC last Sunday I didn't actually get to sit in that seat. By the time I got on the plane there was someone already in it who had been displaced there by someone else who had sat in the wrong seat. This person who was in the wrong seat apparently didn't think anything of it. She looked at me like I was crazy when I told her I didn't want the window seat she was supposed to be occupying (which she "graciously" offered to me) because I preferred aisle seats, like the one listed on my boarding pass. After a few seconds of her not moving and me staring at her in disbelief I took her "window" seat (it was actually between windows so there was no view), but not without some loud complaining about how people should sit in their assigned seats. I probably sounded like a gread school teacher. It was silly, really, but I had gone through a lot of trouble to get that aisle seat in the first place and I didn't get to enjoy it. Not that flying is ever really enjoyable, but aisle seats make it much more tolerable. Unfortunately I have another window seat for my flight back to LA tomorrow. At least I'll be expecting it this time.
