Thanks for your advice. I would love to be able to use some of them. I'm not very confrontational and probably wouldn't. This same person wanted to know if I lived in the neighborhood and wanted to know if I was a snowbird. She said that they like keeping the class small. I got the feeling that they all knew each other like it was a little neighborhood clique. I did keep my place but I said to her afterwards that I think she must have been bothered by me being in her place and asked if she would like for me to go to the next row next time. She smiled and looked relieved. This incident bothered me and she should not have said that. Yet, I guess it was more important to her. Hopefully, some of the "that's my spot" people will read your responses and think twice before being rude. I am off to a 7:30 class. I'm leaving early so I can get my spot! Thanks again.
