The difference is that the village chair belongs to everyone. Your chair belongs to only you. I don't understand the logic that people have the "right" to take ownership of a community chair from early in the day until they decide it can be returned to general use. If that is allowed, it won't be long before chairs and locations are reserved permanently and no one but the "privileged" will be allowed to the use of community property.
