How have you acted in a utilitarian fashion as laid out by John Stuart Mill's 'Utilitarianism' and subsequent philosophers today?

> be tall and hearing impaired
> on a flight
> have 3 seats to choose from, other 2 go to relatives
> maximize utility by taking the seat closest to a crying baby, knowing the pain I suffer is less than potential pain non-impaired persons would suffer
> next flight
> the Utility gods bestow my tall form with an emergency exit aisle seat, maximizing utility by providing me with pleasure that would be of a lesser extent if bestowed on the short
> karma is real
> utility is real

everyone but hedonists are free to share their utilitarian feels and musings
