Drich, suppose I spend a year coming to your house on a daily basis, walking in your front door, taking a shit on your dining table, and then leaving. Not only is there no law against my doing this, there are actually laws that enable me, encourage me, and reward me for doing it. Astonishingly, there are also laws which not only prevent you from trying to stop me, but offer fines and imprisonment if you even complain about my actions.
At the end of the year, through the work of other people tired of having me shit all over their furniture, laws are enacted which not only make it a crime for me to continue with my behavior (prolly called something like, 'The Malicious Fecal Distribution Act') and require me to clean and disinfect your table, but also give you first crack and a discounted rate on cleaning supplies and bog rolls for the rest of your life.
THAT is why there are reserved seats at the table.
