I agree, but where does the line get drawn. If we go there with another couple and they say "go get seats while we go get a drink" so we sit in two seats and tell people that the two next to us are being saved. Now I believe that you and most other people would find that reasonable, but again I have to ask, where do we draw the line?
What if I have a party of eight on the way and I sit and try to save eight seats. Is that still OK? Obviously tying a rope around 20 seats is not OK, but where exactly is the line. when is it OK and when is it not OK?
