Ha!!!!
I can't begin to tell you the number of times I've had someone come up to me and the first thing they say is not "Hello Bretheren!" but "You stole my parking spot, seat, car group, etc...." they come across as kidding....but I know they're being playfully serious. In my hall if you were there a long time and squatted a parking spot it was "yours". Makes you wonder how they'll all survive the great post-armageddon territorial land-grab ("You stole my rain forrest damnit!!!")

Around here thr K H car parks are always too small, [notice other British posts] so it is first in last out.. Sometimes the cars are parked in so tight that you cannot get out until they all go.
I remember once, I was the visiting speaker, and while I was doing it a latecomer hit my car. She was sooo embarassed! but sorted the cost out for me no problem. I have dislike of K H car parks ever since.
Yes, British get possessive over their seats . And if their is a disabled toilet, the sole elderly sister will view it as her very own
Parking wasn't a problem, we had this huge hall, huge parking lot (with very few attendees). But I'll never forget in a "local needs" talk, the brother on the platform told everyone to pick up their stuff, stand up, and move three rows ahead. I guess no one was respecting their "Reserved for parents with children" signs posted on the back three rows. The brother said, "Now is that so bad?" The new arrangement lasted for about a week.
And I remember another old-style elder said during his talk that he didn't understand why so many people were sitting on one side of the hall. He wished we had spread out more. He said if this was a boat, it would sink, because the weight is not even. I was interpreting sign language at the time, and it was ever so difficult to interpret that one. The deaf lady looked at me like , HUH?
