What do you do?

In this particular situation I’m at the hair salon. There are 6 chairs, 3 on each side and no one sitting in them. Which chair do you choose?

I chose the one on the end, the next person chose to skip a chair and so forth. So now there are 3 chairs open because people skipped a chair.

There are people standing because there are “no chairs”. Why do you think that is? People scared of germs? invading space? antisocial?

If you notice this is a common theme in our lives. Just another thing I ponder sitting here with no one near me.

  1. I usually experience the opposite effect in movie theaters and parking lots. Wide open space and the newcomer plops down in my immediate vicinity. I have always wondered about that and have come to the conclusion that it’s part of a need to belong to a group, no matter how random or temporary that group is.
