I turned to speak with my daughter for perhaps 10 seconds and imagine my surprise when I turned back and found a man standing directly in front of me. He turned and yelled back to his wife "Here Honey, this is a great spot". He was completely offended when I told him that it was a great spot, because it was my spot and I'd been standing there for quite a while. He literally said "You don't own it!" I felt like I was having a conversation with a six-year-old.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand your issue here. You were standing in a spot. You vacated that spot. Then another person stood in the vacant spot. He was right in this situation. What exactly entitled you to that particular section of floor? Of course he was offended when you told him it was your spot, I would have been too.
