Why do people queue up in a coffee shop and then get miffed when there's no seats after they order their drink. It makes sense to bag a seat as you enter the premises by placing a magazine and an old pair if glasses on a table and then queue if you are alone, but one of you sit and the other queue when there's two of you.
Yet I watch person after person calmly queuing, as others walk in ages after them and breeze past to get the seat.
Is the lack of common sense a British thing? Or do we simply crave the drama and frustration that the lost seat brings? Wise up folks, bag your seat and then get your drink, or always order a take out in case you have to go.
