I have company in town and want to go to the squares to enjoy some music and show how great the Villages are. We took our own chairs and settled-in to an area near the dancing. People just decided to stand and have conversations with friends DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF US. We waited for 10 minutes and figured they would say their hello's and move on.
No-o. They were having fun watching the dancers. I wondered if I was invisable? After about 20 minutes of this, I got up, moved my chair directly in front of them. They thought I was a _itch but I didn't care. I came to the square to enjoy myself and I was in an appropriate area. These people were just "clueless" that they were obstructing anyone because they were so self absorbed in what they were enjoying.
People are thoughtless, clueless and sometimes just selfish. I would not hesitate to take a chair that is being saved and the music is going. I have more right to that seat than the person who is not there.
