I was exhausted from a grueling swimming competition. The middle seat wasn’t ideal for my height, but I was too tired to care.
The first sign of trouble came when the plane took off. The woman in the aisle seat beside me (let’s call her Karen) pressed the call button three times in a row, like she was setting off an alarm.“This seat is unacceptable!” Karen snapped when the flight attendant arrived. “I’m cramped, and look at these two… people! They’re practically spilling over into my space.”
“I’m sorry, but we’re fully booked today,” the flight attendant replied. “There’s nowhere else for you to move.”“You mean that there’s not one seat available on this flight? What about business class? Nothing?” she demanded.“Then I want them moved,” Karen declared, louder this time. “I paid for this seat just like everyone else here, and it’s not fair that I have to be squished next to them. I can’t even open a packet of chips without bumping into this guy.”
I glanced over at the woman in the window seat, who looked on the verge of tears. My patience was wearing thin, too.“Ma’am,” I said, “we’re all just trying to get through this flight and reach our destinations. There’s really nothing wrong with the seating arrangements here.”
