Lengthy title, but i'd like opinions on this please.
Your 5yo's school show is due to start at 2pm.
You arrive at 1.30pm to grab a good seat because you know the school hall fills up quickly.
By 1.45pm, all the seats are taken. New arrivals have to stand at the side.
At 1.55pm, a man arrives with his wife, asking if you'd mind giving up your seat for him because he has back problems. Your seat is located near the side, next to an empty spot where his wife could stand against the wall beside him.
You refuse, because you've picked a really good spot in the second row where your child will be able to see you from the stage.
The man seems okay with this and walks off.
A minute later, he and his wife return with the janitor. The janitor has a spare chair and sits it directly in front of you.
The man sits down and now your view of the stage is blocked.
You ask if he'd mind swapping, explaining why. His wife politely declines because he's just sat down, and it might hurt him.

To ask your opinion on this? If you'd arrived half an hour early to grab a good seat for a school show, would you then give up your seat to someone claiming to have back problems?
