Corryn, I won't flame you, but I will say that I am one of those people who stakes out my spot in the A line as early as possible. Anyone who wants to call me a name is welcome to...I may be an idiot, but I'd rather be an idiot with my choice of the exit row or any other seat that I want. What's the difference between sitting in a chair and sitting in the line? At Midway, the A line is conveniently against the wall, so I'm just as nice and comfy as I'd be anywhere else. Don't stress about what other people do; either take a place in the A line or accept that others are going to do so and you have made the choice not to.
