I suspect these are the same people that go to a Chipotle and can't decide what they want to order or what toppings they want on it. Even though they've been there a hundred times and they order the exact same thing on their burrito bowl each time for them is a brand new experience of toppings discovery.
People often complain about those in first class or business class, I rarely find them to be the problem. They want to get seated and get that plane moving as fast as possible. It's those who have no concept of how their actions affect and delay others and because they're not in a hurry no one else should be in a hurry.
We've all worked with these people. They're the same kind of people where they're told a feature deadline is in 3 days. They understand that they have some work to complete and three others have work to complete on that same feature. You have plenty of meetings so they know that their work needs to be completed first so the others can complete their work and everyone can hit the deadline in 3 days. All they seem to hear was their work needs to be completed in 3 days and it's not their fault that the other people couldn't make the deadline.
How do you keep track of bin space while accounting for variable luggage sizes and compliance?
But it will soon be academic as open seating will be gone by next year.
They're not actually reserving them, they're just trying to cause enough of a fuss that no one wants to deal with that they will get their way.
Edit: You could be strong-willed enough to spar with them on it, but it is so draining most opt to just not engage.
