AIRPLANE ETIQUETTE QUESTION Dilemma. I HAVE NO IDEA IF I HANDLED THIS CORRECTLY. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD DO. I WAS ON A FLIGHT, UNITED. I WAS IN A WINDOW SEAT. A WOMAN SITS DOWN NEXT TO ME. I THINK AROUND ROUGHLY 60 YEARS OLD, BASED ON HER HANDS. SHE HAD ON A VISOR AND A FULL PINK GOLFING COLLARED SHIRT. OUTFIT, BIG GOLD EARRINGS. SHE SITS IN THE MIDDLE. I'M WINDOW. I SAY, "WOW, IF NO ONE SITS IN THE AISLE SEAT, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THIS WHOLE THING TO OURSELVES." AND SHE GOES, "I THINK SOMEONE'S COMING." NO ONE COMES. THE PLANE TAKES OFF. I KEEP LOOKING AT THE AISLE SEAT. KEEP LOOKING AT THE AISLE SEAT, PASSIVE AGGRESSIVELY SAYING TO MYSELF, CERTAINLY SHE'LL MOVE OVER ONCE THE SEATBELT SIGN GOES OFF. CLICK, CLICK, SLIDE, SLIDE, CLICK, CLICK AGAIN. NONE OF THAT HAPPENS. INSTEAD, SHE JUST SITS THERE AND GOES, "OH, I GUESS NO ONE'S COMING." AND THEN STAYS IN THE MIDDLE SEAT. AND THEN SHE FALLS ASLEEP. AND THEN I JUST SIT THERE ANGRY THE WHOLE TIME. DO I WAKE HER UP? DO I LIVE WITH IT? IT'S HER SEAT. IT'S HER CHOICE. BUT TO SIT IN THE MIDDLE FEELS GASTLY. WHAT DO YOU DO?
