Some others seem to think they're entitled to move me to the middle seat. They give me stares when I get up to give them the seat.
What is the polite behavior in this circumstance (for both parties)?

PS, because I am a natural-born-asshole, I specifically look for the person most-likely-to-be-annoyed to sit next to. I love that the person with his briefcase on the inside of a seat of a two-seater on the train that thinks I am going to be intimidated.
