Should I have Moved ?
Ok, So I'm back from Philly. Something happened on my third flight of the day coming home. I travel on planes somewhat frequently; And one of the things I have discovered is that I really don't like being on them. The flying part is ok, it's just the cramped up; stuck feeling I get while on board. So, When the plane lands , I want off quickly ! So, when I book my flight I try to get a seat as close to the front of the plane as possible. Anyway, to get to the point I was on my 3rd flight of the day( a long day to say the least) and I was in row 5 aisle seat. And when I got to my seat there was a guy sitting there. I told him he was in my seat. He said he wanted to sit next to his wife who was in the window seat, and would I please go sit in his seat back in row 20 ? Huh ? What ? I don't think so ...... It was an hour an fifteen minute flight; He could not be away from his wife for that short amount of time? I said NO I'm sorry, I really want this seat . He gave me a dirty look and got up to move to his seat in the back. I sat down next to his wife and I could feel the tension. It was allfull. People are always saying that I don't know how to say NO, So why is it that when I do say NO I feel guilty has heck. If I had it to over again I would still say NO. Tell me what you think ????????

allfull = aweful
I love you mommy and it is good to say no! you picked that seat cause you wanted to sit there and you paid for it! If he wanted to sit next to his wife why didnt he just ask the person next to him in his seat to move??
I would agree with Kristin. He should have had the person in the back of the plane swap seats with his wife, and they could have both sat together back in the back.
But, if it made you really uncomfortable, and comfort is the reason you wanted the seat up front, then you could have changed your mind after the situation. Think of yourself, yes, and think of what would have made you feel best. Who cares about how they felt? They were asking you for a favor, so you shouldn't feel guilty.
