Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So, boarding to fly from San Francisco to Europe for an 11 hour flight. Pretty happy that I booked a window seat and fully prepared to do my pass-out-until-landing act.

Arriving at my seat, I see an elderly couple occupying my seat and the aisle seat next to it. I point out the older woman is in my seat.
Her husband mumbles something about her ankle being broken and that I can have their seat in the center section. 

Upon seeing that seat I guess the disgust was quite visible upon my face, because they quickly switched back to their own seats.
I felt a bit like an asshole.

I'm usually a pretty easy going guy and pretty pleasing to other people, however the idea of trading my paid window seat for a middle row seat on an 11-hour flight is asking a bit much...

Also, I don't really understand why a window seat would be better with a broken ankle? And if that's so important to you, why don't you just shell out the few extra bucks to book a window seat? A lack of planning on your part does not make an emergency on my part...
Or talk to the stewardesses to arrange something? 

I also don't really appreciate being confronted with a done deal instead of asking first...

So I feel like I'm the right here. Wdyt?
