My sister and I were eating at a popular bagel place (buy at front, find your own table). Finishing up, one of us stood up to put on a jacket, woman from a table at the side immediately comes over and sits down, staking the 'better' table. No hello, no may I take your seat, just a Karen sit n grab.

That's when you sit in her lap and say oh I didn't see you, I was just chilly and put on my coat - I'll be here for a few more hours

Ah, you’ve met my ex. She’s horrible at this, hovering or whatnot. I on the other had walk up, hey folks I’d really like to grab your seats after you’re done and just didn’t want to hover. Almost always get it.

100% would give you my seat for asking politely rather than sniping

Seems like a cultural difference. Don't be mad at her. Be mad at something else.

Edit: lol the amount of down votes I got is cracking me up.

The fuck are you talking about? Nobody's culture is even mentioned here. What do you propose we should be mad about that isn't the rude person intruding on personal space without the slightest hint of a polite formality.

Yeah I'd imagine this is very broadly accepted in other countries, like Karenland.
