The Seat Surprise on Flight C458

The plane was ready for takeoff, and the flight attendant smiled, "Flight C458 is ready for takeoff! Please fasten your seatbelts and sit up straight!" A passenger called out, "Excuse me?" The attendant walked over, ready to help. "Yes? Can I get something for you?" the attendant asked, full of kindness. The passenger said, "I see an empty row near the front. Can I change seats? I want to sleep better!"

The attendant shook her head gently, saying, "I’m sorry, but that’s against our policy. We can’t let anyone leave their seats to keep it fair for everyone." The passenger frowned, "That’s a crummy policy! Why can’t I have a little room?" The attendant replied, "I understand, but everyone has a ticket for their seat. May I see yours?" The passenger handed over the ticket, feeling puzzled. "Why?" The attendant smiled and said, "Sir, the empty seat is your seat! You’re in row 3, not row 33!" The passenger's face lit up, "Oh! Awesome!"
