Yep...That whole row of people! So...while people were being forced to stand, that whole row of chairs was left empty by this selfish group preventing folks from being able to sit and enjoy the entertainment...so I say...Good for the Villages for starting to address this problem.....None of us is "entitled" and it would be a good thing in my opinion if folks stopped being selfish and started thinking beyond themselves....
Why do you think it is "selfish" and "entitled" to save seats? You can bring your own chairs or go early and save chairs also. Just because you don't think ahead to do so, you look down on those who do? So who is feeling "entitled" here? Seems that you are because you are feeling "entitled" to the seats that someone else has saved!
