I’m Sorry. That Seat’s Saved… Forever.
So I’m sitting here in the lab, working on an assignment for SAN 283. I’ve been here for a half hour and the lab’s been full the entire time. Currently there’s about eight people walking around looking for a computer. There is one open next to me, and it’s been open since I got here. The guy on the other side, however, has been turning away everyone that comes to use it (about one person/minute), saying that he’s “saving it for someone.” For a half hour, he’s been doing this.
I’m all for saving seats. Everyone does it, including me. But there should be a certain amount of time after which saving a seat becomes invalid, especially when there’s such high demand for said seat. I’m not entirely sure what that time amount is, but I am certain that a half hour is too long.
