She moos and lows to him, going on and on about working at a Christian church along with her husband.
The majority of the flight we are in the clouds and there is nothing but haze, so I mostly left the window closed.
I just don't get this. If she wants all of her brats to have a window view or sit together then purchase early and choose the seats. Why the grossly inflated sense of entitlement. And to act like that and brag about working for a Christian church?

The minute someone like this starts in on being "christian" put one hand on your wallet and the other on your naughty bits because they are going to try and screw you one way or the other.

They expect parent perks and "christian perks."

I find a lot of religious people do this. They have an attitude of " I go to church and read the bible, therefore I am one of the good guys. God knows this so he will have me randomly sit with someone who will give me and my kids what I want." Then they seem shocked when it doesn't work. When the other person doesn't give them what they want then the other person is just an unethical non Christian. They want empathy for them, but they will not give it back. I think Studio54 said something about this empathy thing recently.

Playing the religion card would never work with me. I'm an atheist, and a flying-spaghetti-monster-damned good one LOL!

My mom was Catholic, and she told me more than once that she was always suspicious of anyone who needed to tell you what a good Christian they are (including other Catholics). She figured if you really were a good one, people would know (that whole "know us by our love" thing, I guess), and that if you needed to tell people, you were hiding something.

Empathy is the new indicator of "emotional intelligence" among the talking heads. But it isn't virtuous. It leads to individual prejudices for and against certain ideas/groups for irrational reasons. Being rational and charitable are a far better practice.
Worse yet, you've got people playing the empathy card in order to bully others into getting what they want.
This scenario is yet another example of that circumstance. "Give me your seat! Can't you see that I'm a parent? Can't you empathize with my situation???" The implication, of course, is that those who can't/don't empathize are sociopathic assholes--which is wholly untrue.
"Empathy," so-called, is just another tool that loudmouth bullies will use as part of their daily behavior. Don't fall for this trick--call it out when you see it. I refuse to be held hostage by this kind of obnoxious, entitled nonsense.

She then very loudly announces to her husband that she will make sure to straighten out the window situation in a very combative tone.
Window shade would've stayed the fuck down the entire flight if this bitch said this around me.

This is exactly what she did. Completely ignored my response and attempted to escalate the situation through loud mouthing and causing a scene. Until the shining knight in the next row over volunteered his seat. I was about 5 seconds away from playing my headset the rest of the flight and tuning her out before this happened. Not going to be bullied by her or anyone else. Luckily the seat switch with him stopped the bad behavior.

And it's why that behavior seems to get reinforced. Because she knows that if you don't do it, somebody else will, thus giving this gmoo the incentive to swing those big brassy balls around.Quote

The only thing worse than narcissistic bullies are the White Knights who coddle their every whim.
