So. Anyway. I'm taking suggestions on the topic of "Is there a way to politely tell people that they are occupying MY comfy chair at the Starbucks? Other than staring?" VIEW TWEET
So far, we have:@franka2009: "tell/show them how perfectly you fit in the chair, maybe they will comply, lol" VIEW TWEET
@oJolenet: "In a gossipy sort of way tell them you witnessed people having sex in that chair the other day.. They'll move! Lol"
@blueturtlefl just thinks it all "sounds like #sbuxdrama!" VIEW TWEET
Any others?
And here they come!
@TheDMailMan says that "pulling the fire alarm is always a no-fail method" - and that is so true. Just remember to wear gloves so the cops can't pin an arrest on you! VIEW TWEET
@blueturtlefl weighs in again, with the superb idea to create a nametag that reads #sbuxdrama King. Might have to read "Drama Queen," but we all get the picture! VIEW TWEET
Authentic, REAL-LIFE Starbucks barista @eekitschelsea says that "haha. At work when a regular comes in and their seat is occupied we all look to see what happens and where they decide to go." VIEW TWEET
And finally, according to @nwjerseyliz, "A 3 year old just came up to me in @Starbucks & told me I was sitting in his chair. In these discussions, size doesn't matter. I don't think I'd call the little boy a fan. He was claiming his territory. Coffeehouse drama." Darling, we applaud you for the sentiment and caring for your fellow man - no matter how small. How-ev-ER, *YOU* are the adult here. The howler monkey NEEDS TO LEARN that disappointment will come early, often and at the hands of the tall people. How else will they learn?

As for me? Personally, I like to go the Warner Brothers cartoon route and drop a piano on their heads.
Beep. Beep!
Do not be shy people. I know you have opinions. Everybody on the Internet has an opinion. Leave some answers in the comments. You can be anony-mice. I don't care.

Friends in coffee.. Jolene/Starbuckstweets :-)
This is too funny! I guess my Tweet hit a nerve. But we weren't fighting over a comfy chair, just a place by the window...there's a large shelf kids sometimes sit or play on. I'm sure that the last time he was at this Starbucks he sat at this table so he naturally thought it was reserved for him. We actually talked a bit. It was amusing and a nice break from my research.
Awwwww. Everybody congratulate Liz and send her a *BIG HUG* - because she's one of those super awesome human beings that loves howler monkeys. And isn't all bitter and cynical like me.
You probably made his little howler monkey day!
