Never, ever, volunteer

A family with a small child were late on board a recent flight.
In fact, they were the last to board. However, they wanted to sit together.
(Ever thought of listening to the call for people travelling with children? You then get to choose your seats, you muppets).
One woman, sitting in an aisle seat, with the centre and window seat empty, volunteered to move but said she wanted  to sit two rows further forward where there was only one other person, in a window seat.
The crew thanked her and then asked that she go forward there and then, even though it was easier for everyone for her to wait in the aisle BEHIND the now empty row because of the congested aisle.
Common sense said get the family seated first.
She said she'd  wait. But the crew insisted that she squeeze through, past said family and two trolley dollies.
So she did - and, behind her back,  one crew member made a big show of raising her eyes to the heavens.
So much for volunteering. Moral of the story? Act like a regular low-coster, bury your head in a * book/ magazine/ Kindle (* delete as applicable) and ignore everyone else.
