Our plane was delayed from the beginning. We were in C zone 24. We were some of the last passengers to board. Of course due to the no assigned seating there were only a few middle seats left. The flight was so crowded there was nowhere to put our carry on. The no assigned seating policy SUCKS!!

Lol...boo hoo hoo. Someone else took your bin because you forgot to use free checked bags. And everyone else deserves a middle seat except you. Well, at least 33% of the passengers.
That's a hoot! Thanks for making my Friday morning more enjoyable with your comedy stylings. Much appreciated for the jocular trollery.
Enjoy your weekend!

Not sure what a delayed plane has to do with your seating assignment, it sounds to me like you waited too long to check in and that's why you got a C position. C boards last and often there are only middle seats left because 2/3 of the plane boarded before you - but I've gotten lucky and have gotten an aisle/window seat before. Typically the earlier you check in, the better your boarding position will be - to better your odds even further, some people pay for Early Bird or strive to get A-List status, which automatically checks you in 36 hours ahead of departure instead of 24 hours which is the standard check in time.
Now you know for next time.

I have never been in boarding group C. I'm sure it can be less than ideal. Prior to the increase I bought early bird for almost every flight. Now that the cost has gone up I don't buy it as often. I just set a reminder and make sure I check in 24 hours in advance. I carry the SW Priority card which gives me 4 seat upgrades a year. When I've had high B numbers I've used those seat upgrades. You have options to stay out of C boarding. Spend some money, upgrade your CC or be ready to checkin 24 hours before the flight.
