I would just say "oh.well!" and not move!! This happens all over as others have said---not just "here" but where we all came from too. People bring their behaviours with them. As for saving seats---see it in church ALL the time, with Bibles and or bulletins. I see folks counting down their rows too to make sure there's enough room for their pals. In our church you can't bring coffee etc. in the auditorium but have to stay in the commons. I sort of "get it"---as folks want to socialize a bit but being rude doesn't factor into the equation in my view. Either plant you behind OR take your chances later just like regular people do.
