"Your travel problems are not my problem": passenger doesn't give way to family

On Low Cost you know, they make you pay even the air you breathe, but sometimes it happens to some traditional airlines. With the times, virtually anything is now extra, from carry-on luggage to the seat.
In this article:
It is precisely about the latter that we want to talk to you today with a little story that has been causing discussion on Reddit. In fact, one user told his adventure aboard a flight, where a family of four approached them and asked if they could swap places To be all together.
"I booked my ticket specifically to be closer to the front of the plane and the gate when it's time to leave. I personally hate traveling, so I spent a little more money to choose my seat.
Normally I would have agreed, but changing seats would have meant going back 20 rows to the back of the plane, so I would have thrown my money away. So I refused and said I would like to keep my seat."
At that point the mother indisposed insulting him and saying that he should change seats because doing so would divide his family during the flight.
"With all due respect ma'am, your travel problems are not my problem. I am keeping the place I paid for."
The lady continued to rail, only to be interrupted by her husband, who then excused Of the incident.
Is it worth paying to choose a seat on the plane?
A little thought, I have often been traveling only and a few times another passenger asked me the change place, I have always been available as long as the seat was side window (my favorite side) and that I didn't have paid For that seat. If these conditions are met, then I have no problem changing seats.
Sometimes I happened to pay a little bit more just to have my beloved window side, I never happened to give up a seat that I had paid for, but I think I would have behaved at the same way. I change a place I paid for only if the one I have to go to is near to where they are and window side, in short to the same conditions Of my ticket, not 20 rows further back....
Wondering whether it is worth it or not pay To choose the place basically depends by many factors: whether you are traveling alone or in company, whether the ticket was cheap and then you can pay some extra etc., depending on the situations.
I often happened to travel with my girlfriend and obviously in the process of booking we paid for the choice of seat just to be close together on the plane. If you have a family whole to be accommodated in the plane, it is good that you arrange earlier And you pay that little bit extra that makes you avoid such scenes....
