Ryanair Seating Oddity

Alicante to Leeds Bradford the other week & had a very strange seating experience.
Sat in seat 14F Middle seat as per the boarding card.
Lady said you are sat in my seat.
I showed her my boarding card & it then dawned on me that seat 14F was a window seat not a middle seat.
No big problem but it was all very odd.

Was that an emergency exit row perhaps, I'm pretty sure I've sat in one before where it was described as a middle seat but wasn't really when there were only two seats in the block instead of three?0

Does the middle there not indicate middle of plane, for boarding purposes? People in middle can use front or rear doors?
Edit - no ignore that, seen it says Front on there also.0 -

Normally says under the seat number Window / Middle / Aisle0 -
Just a typo on the card then I guess.0

Would have assumed seats ABC to have been one side, DEF on the other so F wouldn’t have been a middle seat0

Even in rows like that the seats are BCD and E, with A and F missing.eskbanker said:Was that an emergency exit row perhaps, I'm pretty sure I've sat in one before where it was described as a middle seat but wasn't really when there were only two seats in the block instead of three?0 -
I know that but the boarding pass clearly says 14F MIDDLEbaser999 said:Would have assumed seats ABC to have been one side, DEF on the other so F wouldn’t have been a middle seat0 -
Row 14 is in the centre of the aircraft, so they can board rear, middle, front if required.
Jet2 use groups A, B and C for front, middle and rear loading.

Where is this "middle" boarding taking place on a Boeing 737?0
