> I was somewhat disgusted with the people - why would nearly everyone prefer their windows closed? as a person who usually gets a window seat, and often closes it, hopefully my response will help you be less disgusted with people: the window seat gives me a wall to lean up against, which stops me from trying to take the arm rest from the center seat, and gives me something to fall asleep against without bothering others. sometimes it's nice to be able to relax without having to get up for others or inconvenience other people.
