Okay, so, yesterday me, Drew and Kami boarded a Southwest flight to St. Louis. Being a prebord, we picked out where we wanted to sit (Southwest does not assign seats) and got settled in. A few minutes later, a kid about 17 or 18 years old entered the row across from us. A few minutes later, I look over and notice he's sitting in the middle seat with his lunch on one side of him, his bag on the other and he's got his cell phone to his ear. I though it looked a little "suspect", so I continued to watch him to see if he was doing what I though he was doing. As people boarded the plane looking for a place to sit, I kept watching him and noticed that at no time that he had the phone to his ear was he talking on the phone. I pointed him out to Drew. And secretly hoped that he wouldn't get away with playing coy just to get an entire row to himself. But, I though he had it, and aparently so did he, as I noticed he intently watched the last person struggle to find a seat and waited until they sat down. Immediatly after the last person sat down, I intently watch him, as he cooly fliped his phone shut, mouthed the words "yes!", and began rearranging himself, putting his carry on under the seat and moved over to the window. "Humph" I thought to myself. That was tricky! I soon became ingrossed with entertaining Kami and apparently he became engrossed with a magazine or something himself. Because neither of us noticed the mass group of late boarders that made their way to the back of the plane. "You probably won't find any seats together" pointed out the stweard. I wanted to jump up and down, point to the two by the punk kid and say "Here's some! Here's some! Ha!ha!ha!". Alas, I didn't have to, because just then the steward noticed the two seats and pointed them out to the boys. The punk teenage boy looked defeated! "Sucker!" I though to myself! Hmmm, sometimes stinkers do get what they deserve! Just thought I'd share my funny experience!
