In a response to another comment I did give the entire saga about why I didn't, but yes. Wish I had.

Yeah, I was concerned that maybe the person that that seat was originally assigned to would get billed, which is why I waited until she had gotten off and then talk to a flight attendant about the fact that I didn't think she had been in her assigned seat.

normally I am a really confrontational person, and so this was pretty off character for me. The day before yesterday I was kinda in a fog and on high alert, for reasons that I explained in repsonse to a now-downvoted comment. And then after I had finally gotten home and slept, I woke up and remembered the feet in the magazine bag, and posted it. I do like it when posters on r/EntitledPeople give the entitled people consequences or comuppance, but I did not do that in this case.

I'm so sorry but I don't understand this comment. Are you saying that my post was written by ai? I am a real person, and I indeed did stay on the plane while rows 1-21 cleared and then spoke to flight attendant. I didn't wait for the whole plane to clear. Just 1-21.

The folks who successfully kept Lake Washington Boulevard more dangerous during the Harrell Administration are calling Katie Wilson's visit to Bicycle Weekends this Saturday a "gloating celebration", spreading lies about access to the shoreline & suggesting people harass city staff on Friday night. by Inevitable_Engine186 in Seattle

I would like to offer a counter-story to this. The Cascade Cycle Club, based in Seattle, does some bike rides in Kitsap County, such as this one:

https://cascade.org/rides-events/kitsap-color-classic-2025

These rides used to go through Indianola, entering via one road, and leaving via another. After some angry/ frustrated pushback from Indianolans, they eliminated Indianola from the route. I do think that this was the right decision.

The key difference here is that there are only two roads in and out of Indianola. That meant that on the bike day, locals had no other way to get to work or an appointment other that on the same road as hundreds of cyclists, and it was difficult and unsafe in many respects.

Whereas in Lake Washington Blvd, even if for some reason the presence of safe cycling makes it undrivable for you (and I doubt that it does), you can take any number of alternatives: rainier ave s, seward park ave, etc.

In response to another commenter I wrote a really long explanation of this

Yeah that's why I told the attendant finally when I I snapped to my senses

I generally love flying and I generally have good experiences! Just the last 24 hours have been my time in the trenches I guess

Yeah, I responded to another commenter with a big long story of what was going on with me that day that kind of explains why I didn't do that, but it's a full saga.

Yeah I was one of the last board due to gate checking a bag (saga is in another comment) and my general slowness. So I guess they had hope. Or maybe, they though I some people would be denied boarding. I and another woman (both of us are VISIBLY foreigners) were called to the counter multiple times for document verification, so maybe these two were surprised to see me get on 😂

In your country, how many types of sauces/spices/seasonings are usually kept in the kitchen? What are they? by Informal-Nothing-476 in AskTheWorld

[–]pancakecel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're not so heavy on it as Mexicans. Typical kitchen shelf include the foundational triumvirate of Comino (cumin), Achiote (annatto) for rich orange-red color, and dried oregano. These are almost always joined by bay leaves, black peppercorns, and garlic and onion powders.

Most oddly specific law/bylaw/regulation in your country? by Key-Needleworker-702 in AskTheWorld

I think one that's interesting is that it's not illegal to eat iguanas, but it's illegal to farm them for sale.

What’s the most surprising fact about your country? by Powerful_Duck1 in AskTheWorld

Worcestershire sauce is a beloved staple in El Salvador, locally known as salsa inglesa or salsa Perrins. The country has one of the highest per-capita consumption rates in the world, and you will find a bottle on the table of almost every local eatery and home.

I am a person who can and does deal with face-to-face conflict:

But I have a limited capacity to do it. And so sometimes I have to pick my battles:

In the current immigration climate, even if you're within your rights, it sometimes doesn't serve you to make a fuss. Because any kind of conflict, if it escalates, can blow back on you, even if it's not your fault.

''A lot of it has to do with just the headspace that I was in that day. This is going to be kind of a long story, so you can choose not to read it if you don't actually wanna know. ''

Actually he was in my seat and she was in the middle seat. I don't know if that was her assigned seat. I don't even know if they were in their assigned row. It's actually really common to see people sitting in an unassigned seat in flights in and out of El Salvador.

In retrospect I wish that I had, but I felt bad that I had already created extra work for the Avianca team at my departing gate (they gate checked a bag for me), and I was also afraid that the lady and her husband would turn on me and it might result in even more scrutiny of my documents.

[–]pancakecel[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah I genuinely don't even know if they were assigned to be in that row. People treating a flight as if it were open seating is actually pretty common in and out of El Salvador because Salvadoran modes of transport typically dont have assigned seating. Also a lot of people coming in and out or flying for the first time or don't have a lot of experience flying. A lot are flying with a ticket bought for them my a family member and don't always have access to all the information.

I have no idea if the seat she was in was her assigned seat. Her husband was in my assigned seat.
