Perspective: “Your grandma’s on the flight with you and you want to sit next to her? Granny should’ve taught you to plan ahead.”

I am an assertive driver. Not aggressive, because that word is too aggressive. But I am decisive with speed. Still, if I’m attempting to merge and someone lets me in, I will roll down my window and wave to them. If it’s raining, I will just have a wet hand.I tip generously, regardless of the service. If I am eating a meal with you, I will make every effort to sit with my back to the wall, to ward off potential danger with … my eyes, I guess? A soup spoon? I don’t know.

I also perform all of the boilerplate chivalry: the opening of doors, the holding of umbrellas and even the walking closest to the curb. So, if you’re with me, and a car jumps the curb, we’ll both probably die, but at least I’ll die first. But there is one thing I haven’t done. Will not do. Will never do. Will grow angry enough at you to throw spitballs at you if you ask me to do. And that’s move my seat on a plane to accommodate you so that you can sit with your friends or family or concubines or whoever else you’re flying with.

Your grandma’s on the flight with you and you want to sit next to her? Granny should’ve taught you to plan ahead.
