“Do you mind if I sit in the aisle, cause I’m going to be pissing like a racehorse all night? I just finished a bottle of vitamin water.”
Well, I guess that’s one way to try and get out of a middle seat. The question is, is it the best or worst reason ever? Sadly (and shockingly) enough, it worked.

Emma Stone used this exact excuse on Cactus CLT > LGA the other day. She also rang the FA to ask if the "smoke" coming out of the vents was normal.
@ lucky - Well that blows my genius theory right out the window!
If you ever want to try to nab someone's aisle seat (ethically dubious), use a "beacuse" statement. One of my favorite psych studies showed that asking to cut in a line gets a favorable response more often when you use the word because then when no reason is offered. The reason following because does not need to be good. Participants were allowed to cut at the same rate for a copy machine when they gave a compelling reason as when they said "Can I cut because I have to make a copy?" which hardly adds any information since everyone in line has to make a copy.
@ Murphy -- Neither were especially attractive, and all passengers involved were female.
We're all missing one important detail...how hot was the girl in the window seat?
