Would you accept a bribe from a fellow passenger?

Last month, Jason Goldberg, the CEO and founder of Fab.com offered his fellow passengers $100 to swap seats in the first class cabin of a flight from Stockholm to Newark so that he and a colleague could collaborate on a work project. When they declined the offer, he vented his frustration to his 37,000 Facebook followers.
“The dude next to Bradford (his colleague) was just a jerk,” he wrote. “Said he was too comfortable to move.”
Reaction to the startup millionaire’s rant in the blogosphere was swift and harsh. “Why should anyone move from their seat at any cost? Perhaps the person didn't think it was worth a lousy 100 bucks to give up their seat and were comfortable,” posted one Facebook user on Goldberg’s timeline. Others called the CEO, “entitled,” and the move “revolting.”

It depends on a lot of factors.... is that person a "good-looking" female? is that colleague an ugly person? why she would want to move. and then I have consider other bargaining chips and evaluate the offer in totality.

if not...they can take a hike even for a million$. How often do we get a chance to say "get lost" to a millionaire and billionaire?

It is condescending to offer a bribe of a mere $100 to first class passengers. Either make a humble request without the bribe or offer a hefty bribe. If you want to be haughty, be generous. If you want to be thrifty, be humble. You can't be haughty and thrifty at the same time. Such a cheapso jerk!
