Airplane Seating Dispute Leads to Unpleasant Encounter

A passenger had a negative experience after declining to change seats with a mother and her son on a flight. The situation escalated when the mother took the passenger's seat while she was in the bathroom. The flight attendant intervened, and the issue was eventually resolved. Online commenters sympathized with the passenger and questioned the preference for a middle seat. Travel expert Nicole Campoy Jackson emphasized that it is not the passenger's responsibility to accommodate seat changes for families.
