So, the people where you live have some sort of problem with manners?
I mean seriously, over here, this is how things are done. You are in a pub, you have nowhere to sit. You see a free stool. You don't just run over and grab it if people are sitting around it. You ask the group if anyone is sitting there. They say yes or no. I have done this many times, and I have been asked many times. NEVER have I seen someone just snatch a seat from a group of people (and over the years I've been to various pubs, many times). Honestly, Saturday was the first time I've seen it. I think there might have been the occasional misunderstanding, where I would have said to someone, or someone would say to me, sorry there was someone sitting there. In which case, you immediately say "oh, sorry 'bout that!" and get off the seat.
The bouncer agreed with me. Most people on this thread agree with me. You have the right to mind a seat for a friend.
Thats all fine and dandy, but you left your friend's seat and your seat to sit on the couch, therefore, you werent sitting there, leaving two seats open, again YOU LEFT. You had no right to do anything at that point, sorry its not about manners, its about common sense.
