Pent up ANGER?

The last few days, I have been in class, and I have been angry. My general anger is directed towards people. People are weird, and interesting...but a lot of them are selfish and annoying. I guess I'm not a people-person? I can pretend to be, but deep down, I'm not. :(

So, in class, I come in at a reasonable time, the class isn't full at this point, yet I can't find a good seat. Why? BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE DUMB AND SAVE 700 SEATS FOR ALL OF THEIR FRIENDS!!! For example, I have my Nutrition class in War Memorial, which is a large church-like building, with a stage and projector at the front, and the seats are a lot like movie theatre seats, except squishier. I come in today and scan the first 3 rows...all full. Next 7 rows...half full; the other seats all have people's belongings draped over them, waiting for their friends. Why? Are you in grade 5? I just don't understand!

Ok, let's break this down, people...why would you need your whole group of friends to sit with you?
1) To catch up? To talk before class? Ok, really, by the time your friend comes in, you have 1 to 2 minutes to talk to them. You want to catch up? TALK AFTER CLASS! Or....CALL THEM AND HANG OUT OUTSIDE OF CLASS.

2) To make sure your friend has a seat? We are all 19+ years olds...I think we are adult enough to look for our own seats

I cannot think of a 3rd reason. I shall ask people who are saving seats, maybe they can enlighten me on the reasons.

I don't mind as much when the class isn't really full, but in the case of my Nutrition class, every seat is taken, and it's impossible to find seats even 7 minutes before class begins. And then when you do find a seat, it's impossible to actually get to it without stepping on people and belongings, and molesting the back of peoples' heads...it's weird and awkward.

Sometimes, I really just want to go sit where ever I want, and when someone says "Oh, this is saved" I will say "No..." or "They can sit somewhere else"...some day...sigh.
