At the home seating for meals is supposed to be first come, first served. New residents may sit anywhere they choose and no places are reserved for late-comers. The tables accommodate four people and none are reserved for anyone. Some of the residents don't realize that. Several people have managed to get their favorite table near the kitchen or by the window for so long they feel they have staked a claim toit.
Open seating means that I or anyone else is free to occupy any seat we choose as long as no one is currently sitting in it. It does not mean that the seat is reserved for an individual who has not yet arrived but customarily sits there. I am considering seeking out those tables that are may appear to be the regular perch of those who have adopted this ownership attitude and see what happens when I invade the "no man's land."
Check back later to see what the result is.
