I watched this happen for several weeks and it made me so.........upset. That was a couple of years ago, I don't know if it is still going on.

I began going to another art class in another rec center.
My sister lives in another retirement area. She was invited to attend a meeting, walked in with the friend who had invited her, went to lower her rear end into a seat when she felt something odd - looked around and an elderly lady using a cane with a crooked handle had put her cane through the chair and pulled it out from under my sister saying "I always sit there". So it's not just here, it's universal I'm afraid.
