Agree with Yardman on this. I certainly don't model my behaviour on what the cabin crew deem to be polite or not. Check the legality, send the guy a txt asking for his kind consideration, and not send a ridiculous request (your PEK in winter for his MRU). Do it vary rarely, but works most of the time.
