Man, 72, Flying With Disabled Brother Not Prepared for What 'Entitled' Passenger Does
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A man was left bewildered when a plane passenger sat in his seat on a flight and refused to accept they were in the wrong. Bill Rosenberg, 72 and from Texas, has been flying American Airlines for "decades," but on a recent trip experienced something he never had before. While stories of attempted seat stealing are rampant online, with the internet loving tales of rude passengers getting their comeuppance, Rosenberg said he had been through something "new to me." Read more Should airlines ban reclining seats? Here's what Americans think Should airlines ban reclining seats? Here's what Americans think In his case, there was no sob story about why the passenger needed his seat, or a mother asking for a swap to be closer to her kids—instead, the seat "squatter" simply denied he was in the wrong seat. Rosenberg told Newsweek he thought it was a "pretty novel and unusual way to take a seat," and so he shared the story to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople sub on May 26 via his account u/anclar52, where it racked up more than 9,000 upvotes. He explained he was traveling with his brother, 80, who uses a wheelchair and needs "a bit of looking after during a flight," so ensured to book two aisle seats across from each other on the fully booked plane. But when they boarded, Rosenberg found a man sitting in his aisle seat—and when Rosenberg told him, the man said he had it wrong, and that Rosenberg was supposed to be sitting in the window seat. "I've been flying on [American Airlines] for decades, and on a plane with 3x3 seating, C&D are the aisles, A&F are windows," Rosenberg wrote. "I attempted to explain this, nicely, to him. He insisted that I was wrong and he was right." Rosenberg decided not to argue, and instead flagged down a flight attendant "to explain the seating letter system to him"—but he then "tried to argue with her that the airline booked him with the wrong seat."

He added: "The only way to deal with these entitled folks is to be polite, but firm, and involve the flight attendant if you can't make any headway." He told Newsweek: "When I encounter a difficult situation in general, my usual way to handle it is to initially not assume bad intent. For all I knew, the gentleman may have been genuinely confused. "It was only after I had explained his apparent misunderstanding of the seat ID system that it became clear he was either being deliberately obtuse or else trying to game me out of my seat." Reddit users shared their own stories in the comments, one recalling: "I had an old lady try to pull that one on me, and after I explained it, she pretended she didn't speak English. I then explained it in Spanish, and she huffed at me and moved. She had no trouble speaking English to the flight attendants when she wanted something from them." Another wrote: "I had a woman try to make me take her aisle seat so she could have my window seat with the same argument. When I tried to explain the letter seating she refused to believe me. Luckily she gave up and pouted her way through the flight but I was both surprised and amused. The thing is I would have happily switched with her if she asked but you can't just demand someone's seat." A 2023 survey of 1,000 plane passengers in the United States and Canada, on behalf of travel booking website Kaya, saw respondents say it was okay "to ask to switch seats if you ask politely", as 54 per cent appreciated common courtesy. Rosenberg told Newsweek the flight attendant "handled the situation perfectly and resolved it"—and thankfully, a second passenger sat between Rosenberg and the man, "so I didn't have to sit next to him. We had no further interaction during or after the flight." As for the big response to his post, Rosenberg admitted he "never expected" it. "I guess many folks are frustrated with the proliferation of seat pirates in the air these days." Newsweek reached out to American Airlines for comment.

Research Investigates Walnuts' Role in Reducing Inflammation and Colon Cancer Risk
New Delhi [India], May 23: New findings published in Cancer Prevention Research show daily walnut consumption may improve markers of systemic inflammation and reduce colon cancer risk. Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and accounts for around 10% of total cancer diagnoses.1 Urolithin A (UA), a metabolic byproduct of the plant-derived polyphenols, ellagitannins, found in walnuts, are thought to contribute to these findings. Researchers at the University of Connecticut analyzed the impact of 56g of daily walnut consumption among 39 healthy adult participants, age 50-65, on urinary urolithins and markers of inflammation, immunity and other indicators of colonic health for three weeks prior to undergoing a routine colonoscopy. 2 This clinical trial followed a preclinical study by Dr. Masako Nakanishi, an investigator in the Rosenberg lab, who first reported on these effects of walnut consumption on colon cancer. 3 In the present study, researchers found that consuming a walnut-containing diet resulted in increased urinary UA levels which were linked to lower levels of several inflammatory markers present in the blood. In addition, the study found changes in colon polyps that could ultimately prove to be beneficial for preventing the development of some cancers. Urolithins have been studied for their anti-inflammatory properties and may play a role in cancer prevention. 4,5 It is thought that higher levels of urinary UA could be responsible for these changes that were observed in polyp tissues, even after a short exposure interval to walnuts. Dr. Daniel W. Rosenberg, the HealthNet Chair in Cancer Biology and an investigator at the Center for Molecular Oncology at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, has been studying the properties of walnuts and their anti-inflammatory benefits for more than a decade. 'Walnuts are an exceptional source of health-promoting nutrients called ellagitannins. These nutrients, when broken down by the gut microbiome to form urolithin A, are thought to reduce inflammation and may be responsible for reducing risk of colon cancer,' notes Rosenberg. Beyond their ellagitannin content, walnuts are known for their nutrient composition. Walnuts are the only nut to provide an excellent source of omega-3 ALA (2.5g/28g), which has been researched to support brain health, heart health and more.6 Walnuts also provide 4 grams of plant-based protein along with a variety of other nutrients in just one handful.7 'This study adds to the growing body of evidence supporting walnuts as a functional food with benefits that go beyond basic nutrition. The ability of walnuts to produce urolithin A — a compound linked to reduced inflammation and potential protection against colon cancer — makes them especially relevant today, as more Indians face digestive health challenges linked to modern diets and lifestyles. Including a handful of walnuts daily is a simple, effective habit that can support gut health and contribute to overall wellness,' states Naaznin Husein, Member of the Indian Dietetic Association. Reaping the health benefits of walnuts is as easy as incorporating a handful into your meals and snacks. Try some of these recipes to add California walnuts: * At breakfast, try this tropical mango smoothie bowl * Snack on these California walnut ladoos or smoked spiced California walnuts * Make a batch of these California walnut kebabs for dinner More research is needed as this was a relatively small and short-term study and it is unclear whether the observed effects of consuming walnuts would persist over a longer period of time or in a larger population. Additionally, the study was not a randomized control trial.

California walnuts, known for their excellent nutritional value and quality, are shipped around the world all year long, with more than 99% of the walnuts grown in the United States being from California. The CWC, established in 1987, promotes usage of walnuts through domestic and export market development activities as well as supports health research with consuming walnuts. References: 1.
