"You do realize that you could purchase that extra seat or upgrade to first class if this bothers you?
Essentially what you're saying is that you have an issue with other people - and you want those people to pay for your peccadillos."

That's totally ridiculous. I started to write out why but then decided it's not worth it. If you're not a troll and that was a serious argument, I pity your family and coworkers and anyone else who has to deal with you on a daily basis. I can't even imagine the type of bullshit you put them through.
