Hey, Mario, that new guy took my seat in church....utsamadder wit 'im?
I sit in the same place in the chapel every mass. Of course....it's the designated seat for the Cantor...
The lady in the back can't stop staring at him.
Yeah I'd be doing my fair share of rubber necking.I suppose I wouldn't be able to stop staring either!

More right than people may realize. Every time I've visited the local OCA parish everyone stands in front of a chair. The same chair.
Kinda funny, actually. Considering that most people stand for at least 80% of the service and 0% of the homily.

Let me tell you, I love our Orthodox brothers and sisters in Christ but there is no way I could stand for an entire liturgy every time I went. I have foot problems (flat feet, plantar fasciitis, and tarsal tunnel syndrome) which make standing for more than like 3 minutes quite painful. As a matter of fact, during the standing parts of the Mass I always finding myself standing on one foot and then alternating to relieve the pressure on the painful foot.
Closer to the bathroom.They save a seat for me every now and then.
I've noticed most Christians are the same, they all like to sit in back.
