When traveling, whether it's for business purposes between states or a long-distance trip to the chilly alpine slopes of Switzerland, it's necessary to adhere to airline etiquette.

The story below is an account of a frustrated traveler. The original poster (OP) had just returned home to Seattle from Florida. In the story that follows, OP describes his interaction with an entitled couple who attempted to steal his designated seat. They tried to claim the seats as their own at first, but when that proved unsuccessful, they shifted their strategy in the hopes of gradually wearing OP down.

So, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning the specifics of what happened and whether or not OP gave up on his assigned seats to avoid problems! Additionally, when you're done and have a minute to spare between your afternoon meetings, don't forget to read the account of the partygoers who raid the event, leaving the hosts high and dry with nothing to entertain the remaining attendees!
