Tom Reynolds boarded his flight to Chicago and made his way to the aisle seat he had reserved. To his surprise, a blonde woman was already sitting there.<\/p>\n
\u201cExcuse me,\u201d Tom said, trying to stay polite. \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 Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tom frowned and checked her ticket. Sure enough, it clearly showed she was assigned the middle seat.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour ticket says you\u2019re in the middle,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cI booked this aisle seat because I\u2019m six-foot-five, and I need the legroom. You\u2019re, what, five-foot-one? You\u2019ll be just fine in the middle seat.\u201d<\/p>\n
The blonde, completely unfazed, repeated, \u201cI\u2019m blonde, I\u2019m smart, and I\u2019m sitting in this aisle seat until the plane lands in Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman in the window seat chimed in, \u201cYou should probably move. My ex was only six-foot-one, and 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 Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frustrated, Tom finally called over a flight attendant. After listening to the situation, the attendant nodded, leaned down, and whispered something in the blonde\u2019s ear.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, the blonde\u2019s expression changed. Without a word, she grabbed her things and moved to the middle seat.<\/p>\n
Relieved, Tom settled into his aisle seat.<\/p>\n
After landing in Chicago, curiosity got the better of him. He approached the flight attendant and asked, \u201cWhat did you say to her?\u201d<\/p>\n
The attendant grinned. \u201cI told her the aisle seat wasn\u2019t going to Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
