College classrooms don't usually have assigned seats but that small technicality doesn't stop most people from claiming a specific spot. In my case, most of my courses end up in the same room on different days so I tend to sit in the same seat each time (the one right in front of the door, despite the fact that opening and closing it is quite the hassle). The seating arrangements are established the very first day and are practically written in stone afterward. You can imagine the frustration caused by people who insist on messing up the flow of everything by stealing someone else's spot...
Usually, I don't have this problem, probably because I sit in the chairs right by the completely annoying door. But for some reason, I haven't been so lucky this year. One day, I could be sitting in the middle of a row of empty chairs...The next day, I can barely fit my notebook in front of me because everyone and their mother/grandmother has decided to sit next to me for reasons unknown. But nothing tops the fact that in one of my classes someone keeps stealing my seat every other day, forcing me to keep bouncing to a fro like a bad game of musical chairs.
Next time, I'm buying a name plate and showing up early. Let's see how they like that one.
