        no, they just usually get stuck down in front. - Andie Sep 11, 13:36 2
        
        If there are four of us together with one seat in the middle, it's easy to say "we're saving it for our friend who is running late" -- nm - Roger More Sep 11, 13:39 1

  - You just did! -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 12:41
- "I don't mean to insult you, but..." -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 12:31 2
