Maybe the young men are afraid that if they get up to assist then their seats will be stolen:-) Personally I have no problem of saving a couple of seats if the person for whom the seat was saved arrives on time when the music starts. But an hour later? NO! We have a group who loves to dance in the square so we bring our own chairs. And if someone tried to take MY chair the police would need to be called. Rude people bring their rudeness with them to the friendliest hometown. "Wherever I go, there I am". Just another sign of the times. Parents, please raise your children to be responsible adults!
