A few quick questions Since I honestly find this thread fascinating
1) Is there a difference between the seat a person always sits in and the one sitting in today?
Say I arrived in Shul early start davening then go to bathroom/get a Sefer or chumash ask the Rav something etc. upon return a guest is in “my” seat. In that case is it wrong to find him another seat?
If no how is rthis different than the previous case, in either case he is being made “uncomfortable” by being asked to move
2) Why Cant the guest ask what seats are avialble? why is he assuming nobody usually sits in any seat?
3) If he knows someone usually sits there say he has been a guest there before and Knows Yankel allways sits there Tallis is on the seat/under desk etc is it wrong for the guest to “take it over” one week?
4) IS it different if the “seat holder” asks him to move as opposed to somebody else saying (nicely) “That seat is taken let me find you a free one”
