Thoughts on reserving space for firework viewing

Been seeing people reserve spots with empty chairs for later firework viewing, curious what the public opinion is. It feels akin to a single person getting to the pool early and taking up like 10 chairs with towels, or someone standing in a parking space waiting for their friend to arrive. I get the alternative argument that it would suck to have to sit there for a while before fireworks started, “wasting” part of the day, but I’m still not sure where I sit (no pun intended) on it lol

Feels like every year people are going to be putting up chairs earlier and earlier – 1, 2 etc days before. If I’m here right now and am willing to hangout until the fireworks, feels wrong someone can show up 1 minute before and stand in front of me just because they set up a folding chair and left 14 hours ago.

What are your thoughts ??
