Some jackoff tried to move my laptop bag and occupy my seat at Starbucks.
Despite the presence of a: said laptop bag in the seat itself and b: a good guy sitting in the next seat over, telling the jackoff that the seat had just been taken.

Had to get out of line and yell at the dickhead before he got up.

God DAMN, some people are rude little fuckers. I'll bet $5 that asshole was a Republican.

P.S. My laptop, its bag, and associated equipment are practically an extension of me. You do not touch them without my express permission. I'm just grateful the little shit didn't try to walk off with anything.

1. hmm
My laptop, its bag, and associated equipment are practically an extension of me.

This is why I leave my dick in the chair, this method drops the 'practically' part out of the equation, and is much more effective.

16. Much better way to handle it.
That way you're not holding the seat. The seat is holding you.

5. Don't have one.
Besides, there was a chair handy. I wouldn't have used it on him unless he'd tried to make off with my laptop bag, though.

Someone taking your seat? Call them on it, but it's not even NEAR important enough to use physical violence on.

Someone taking your stuff? Chair, meet head.

8. If I left my stuff unattended I wouldn't even expect it to be there
when I got back, but I'm cynical that way.

15. I keep an eye on my stuff. I look over at it every 30 seconds when I'm not right there.
That's how I spotted this mook in the first place.

10. You can "reserve" a seat like that
and people take that seriously? *shaking head* It's a great big world....

12. Sorry, I think you were in the wrong -- first paying customer should get
the seat. He already had waited in line. You were cheating.

14. No, he hadn't waited in line.
The guy had no coffee, no tea, no food, nothing. Zero, zip, zilch, nada.

18. Some jackoff threw jackets and purses over about 8 chairs at the last
concert my son was in that my husband and I went to see. You see, he was attempting to save them for others who would arrive later. So my husband and I stood for my son's entire concert...and it was worth it, because his father got to see him. Some things (like getting a seat at Starbucks) really aren't worth getting bent over.
