If you want it, buy it.
- Passenger: Can I take this seat? (points to the first seat on the aircraft)
- Me: Well, sir, it seems that you're assigned to seat 11A, so I'm going to have to ask you to take your assigned seat for now. I was told this is a full flight.
- Passenger: Well, let me know if this seat is empty. I want to sit there.
- Me: I will let you know.
- Passenger: (10min later) Is that seat available?
- Me: No, someone is there. In fact, there are no open seats on the aircraft.
- Passenger: Well, I wanted that seat.
- Me: Someone paid for that seat.
- Passenger: I wanted to be there. I wanted to feel like I was in first class.
- Me: Sir, we don't have first class. Also, in the future, if you would like to be guaranteed that seat, you should either choose it online or speak with a gate agent in order to reserve it for you.
- Passenger: (rolls his eyes)
- Seriously, dude? Seriously?
