I mean its a public place after all. Since u did indicate the airport is small and congested. Is it fair to take 4 seats when just 1 person is seating? Mind u i suspect many people are hovering around the area looking for a seat.Lets put it u in a more difficult situation. An old limping lady with 2 large baggage and probably a kid or 2 tagging along. She asks for a seat, would u decline? If u do, would your concience work along with you seeing her limping away? What about the glances and thoughts of the people around about you?It not about your right to reserve public property. In fact its no ones right. Well maybe you can reserve public parking lots if you pay the local council enough money.But the point is, u can't think of the guy a rude or stupid retard just because he called you bodoh there and then right? Well he did seem not thinking with his head like u with that comment. But does it make u any better than him with your actions beforehand?Its completely nothing compared to what i witness when in public places. Many times i take the bus to go someplace when i'm lazy to drive. There was many a times u can see people young and old reserve eats with bags, umbrellas and plastic bagfull of stuff next to their seats. When we ask for a seat they just ignore and see out the window treating me like some invisible guy. Ok no seat. In fact no seat everywere in the bus. Even till the bus goes with people standing, the fella still insist on hogging the seat. Only until the bus conductor comes by and threatens to make him/her pay for the other, then only they'll budge.How about when queing up at movies, banks, goverment offices blah blah. There are actually people reserving their standing places with water bottles, plastic bags of stuff blah blah. Even little underaged kids for god sakes!The best was this Saturday when i was going for a late night movie. I booked a ticket went there 45 minutes before counter starts offering the tickets and collected them. Nice seats. 3 minutes before the show starts, there was this guy whos first words say that they booked the whole row of seats. I double checked the seating number i was correct. He went off in a huff. Next he came again uttering the same thing. I showed him my ticket and i asked him his. When i saw his ticket i was laughing and said his was pirated ones. Because GSC staff (Yes its them), has the decency to cut the numbers off with a pen and write the numbers of my seat! Off he goes in a huff again. The movie starts and he comes again with a GSC staff. Of course he did booked the seats via Maybank2U. But he collected the tickets after the 45 minutes window. But luckily the staff offered us the seats only a row front. If GSC makes us seat in obsocure seats, tomorrow there would be news for everyone to see. Or probably i make my RM8 a worthy workout price. My point is u can reserve all you want. But then again what u think is right might not turn out to be. What bothers me is, the argument is we are always right and no one would give way a little. Not even one tiny bit. And this event u posted driftking, only highlights the changing society today. If u (care) to read my movie story earlier on, you might understand. I might still get the seats if i'm persistent. I am the legal and right party. But why do i want to spend the extra time to argue with GSC or the guy who booked through Maybank2u? Why should i need to go through 1 1/2 hours of movie feeling angry?Would this post even came up if u gave the guy and his wife a seat out of kindness? Btw this is not a direct attack at u driftking. But somewhat a cause of changing what it would be. I'm no angel myself btw. Erk!!!</blockquote>
