Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So I went to a cabaret show the other day with my bf and we got in with a staff pass, which means we didn't pay anything but we had to sit up the back in the undesignated free-pass seats. We luckily got in the door first and nabbed ourselves the best seats in the free area, no poles blocking our view, clear view of stage, etc etc. 

Anyway, during the interval, we went outside to stretch our legs and when we came back there was a group of 4 women sitting in our chairs. We went up to the seats and stood there for a bit, thinking maybe these ladies were just talking to their friends and they'd go back to their original seats afterwards.. but after an awkward while it became clear that they'd just moved and stolen our chairs while we were outside. They were ignoring us while we were standing there looking at them, so I went up to them and said "Hey, are you guys going back to your seats soon? The show's about to start." to which they replied "...what". So told them they were sitting in our seats and they got annoyed and go "Oh... ok then, fine." and move a couple chairs down.

It was such a weird situation! I'm thinking.. who does that?? Why can't everyone just do the right thing and stay in their chairs and we can all just avoid all this awkwardness and confrontation?? I felt annoyed at them for pulling a sneaky and doing that, but then again the seating was unassigned so technically they weren't our seats to keep anyway?? I'm so confused. Was I an asshole for asking these ladies to move?
