While not the same thing, this reminds me of the time my wife (no pics) and I were upgraded on a MEX-AUS flight. But, we were in like 3B and 3C which on that plane happened to be two aisle seats rather than right next to each other. When we got settled in, a woman asked my wife if she would switch seats so she could sit next to her husband, which would have moved my wife to a completely different row. We declined and indicated we'd prefer to stay sitting by each other, and the woman got all huffy. After they got seated, my wife, being gracious, and tried to clear the air with the husband, and he just rolled his eyes, threw his hands up in desperation, and gave the look of a typical defeated husband who knew his wife was being unreasonable but he had to take her side anyway. I'm guessing there is a reasonable chance this encounter was with a fellow surly poster, haha. But, was it wrong to not agree to their switcheroo request just because my wife and I wanted to sit "next" to each other, even while divided by an aisle?
