The next week two women go and sit at the head of the table, and nobody objected. However the woman that told me those seats are usually taken came in late. I wonder if she would have said anything to those two women.

I sit where I want, and if it happens again I'll say why is it okay for some people to do it but not me? I didn't think of it at the time. Anyway I chose that seat because it's next to the girls, and I didn't want to be last in saying what I think of the book. They always go in the same direction, so I knew if I sat there I'd be among the first to speak.

The woman who objected is a pain anyway, and I'm glad she doesn't come each week. Overbearing woman who dominates the discussion too.

About the rest of your post, it has happened to me that if someone says (or posts something, like on here) similar to me, THEIR comment or post gets the kudos but not mine. I said the same thing. WTH? I've found some people always get the thanks, recognition, or acknowledgement no matter what you do. They seem entitled and everyone else thinks so too.


It sounds like that one lady just wanted to have control over where you can sit, I hate it when people do that when there's no real reason for it since seats that are truly reserved usually have a sign or a piece of paper stating so. Also it's super common for people to like and acknowledge posts other people have made on social media but not me, that's why I really don't post anything on FB and Instagram because people really don't care and some stuff people don't want to know either. I agree though it seems like the only reason they're not liking something you posted even if it's identical to what other people have posted is because it's you, you could even be the first to post something really cool and no one will bat an eye but then everyone loves it when someone else posts the same exact thing. It makes it seem like people are choosing not to acknowledge something online or even something you brought up in real life just because it came specifically from you, they will gladly give someone else the acknowledgment if they post the exact same thing or state the same thing in real life.
