My statement was in jest. No slight intended on my part, and I know that written words do a lousy job of conveying tone.
I am glad OP posted this topic. It makes for a fun read. And also, I notice the attitude is not universal on this one. Without getting into details, there are people with either small or active bladders. And not everyone plans ahead and book a window seat in advance. So when you show up on the day of flight, you just get whatever seats are still available.
In the past, I had looped my whole being across a sleeping passenger. It was not a very ladylike maneuvre and it is not meant for everyone. Cabin was dimly lit and nobody's visual was harmed in the process. I am on the smaller side. Probably more nimble? When it was all said and done, I was happily (since nobody was disturbed) resettled in my own seat and the passenger next to me continues with his / her zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
. It was a judgment call.
