    At this point, he starts to tell me every bad thing that has happened in his LIFE because clearly he wasn't that sad of a person but wanted to seem like one. And then he starts crying...

    Swampy_63 • 40m ago I'm so sick of these stories. WHY IN THE H L do people think taking someone else's seat is OK? Whenever I fly I choose my seat and often pay extra for it.

    PSA: Hey! Do NOT take a seat that you did not book. Do not expect anyone to be an unwitting participant in your drama. If you want a specific seat or want to sit with someone, BOOK IT.
