* Played with the the ''Series/FawltyTowers'' episode "A Touch of Class". When Lord Melbury arrives at the hotel, Basil orders the Wareing family to move to another table in the middle of their meal, saying that Lord Melbury always sits there. When Lord Melbury sits, Basil accidentally pulls his chair away, causing him to fall and knock the table over, to the delight of the Wareing family. Later, when the family enter the bar, Mr Wareing asks jovially "is there any part of the room you'd like us to keep away from?".

* In'' Literature/GirlsKingdom'', the cafeteria where the students eat supposedly allows everyone to eat where they wish. However, The Societal Arts students all have their favorite spots to sit, and as a rule, no one tries to sit in their spots. With members of a given salon (think clique combined with social club), these spots tend to be grouped around specific salon members sitting together with their contracted maids right beside them. The Sky Salon also has private areas where each member can be alone with her maid or maids, intrusion upon which is highly frowned upon unless you have business or permission.

* Subverted in Music/GeorgeStrait's "The Chair," which starts with him claiming that someone is sitting in his seat at a local hangout. It leads to her asking if the one next to it is taken (no, that one's free) and then to a lengthy conversation, then a date. At the end of the night, he reveals it wasn't his chair, after all, he just wanted an excuse to come over.

A character is extremely territorial about where he sits: a favourite chair, spot on TheCouch, park bench, or whatever. Either they never sit anywhere else, no one else is allowed to sit there, or often both.
