I know--bad motivation. You highlight an interesting perspective--truly loving someone means loving them even if they don't know they're being loved. When I choose a middle seat prior to a full flight (not sure I've ever done that actually), I'm giving someone else a better spot--and they'll never know about it. But I suppose God will. And our hearts will be changed in the process. Short answer: I request the middle seat, rather than giving it up, when I don't care about getting the credit for giving up my aisle or window seat =).

No one wants to stand by the doors. We'd much rather sit or at least stand where people are not breathing down your neck. Here's the question: Chris, do you request the aisle seat to be able to give it up or request a middle seat? Or in my metro example, do you quickly grab a seat to offer it to an old lady when boards the train or not take the seat at all. I always thought I should quickly grab a seat so I can have the chance to give it away but I would be interested in your thoughts. Does it even matter? So, I experience the same problem on the metro.
