Mr. Johnson boarded his flight to New York City and approached the aisle seat he had booked.
\nTo his surprise, a blonde woman was already sitting there.<\/p>\n
\u201cExcuse me,\u201d Mr. Johnson said, trying to stay calm. \u201cThat\u2019s my seat. I specifically booked it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman looked up and said confidently, \u201cI\u2019m blonde, I\u2019m smart, and I\u2019m sitting in this aisle seat until the plane lands in New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frustrated, Mr. Johnson checked her ticket. It clearly showed she was assigned to the middle seat.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour ticket says you\u2019re supposed to sit in the middle,\u201d he said, pointing to her ticket. \u201cI booked this aisle seat because I\u2019m six-foot-five, and I need the extra space. You\u2019re, what, five-foot-one? You\u2019ll be fine in the middle seat.\u201d<\/p>\n
The blonde, unfazed, repeated, \u201cI\u2019m blonde, I\u2019m smart, and I\u2019m sitting in this aisle seat until the plane lands in New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman in the window seat chimed in, \u201cYou should listen to him. My ex was tall\u2014only six-foot-one\u2014and he always needed the aisle seat to avoid feeling cramped.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still, the blonde replied, \u201cI\u2019m blonde, I\u2019m smart, and I\u2019m sitting in this aisle seat until the plane lands in New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n
At his wit\u2019s end, Mr. Johnson called over a flight attendant. He explained the situation, and the attendant nodded before leaning down to whisper something in the blonde\u2019s ear.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, the blonde\u2019s expression changed. Without a word, she moved to the middle seat.<\/p>\n
Relieved, Mr. Johnson sat down in the aisle seat.<\/p>\n
After the plane landed in New York, his curiosity got the better of him. He approached the flight attendant and asked, \u201cWhat did you say to her?\u201d<\/p>\n
The attendant smiled. \u201cI told her the aisle seat wasn\u2019t going to New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
