That's why Southerners are appalled at the idea of going to the Jersey shore, where people are packed on top of each other. If you go to a Florida panhandle beach, you'll see Southerners pick spots that are as far away from each other as possible.
Yankees, on the other hand, tend to cluster together for some reason. They walk in packs, drive in packs, and sit together in packs.
Therefore, my observation on your movie seat situation is that the guy was a Yankee.

Well actually i'm a yankee and so are all of my friends. I'm from and live in New York. So I don't think it's a North and South thing. What "I" see is that people from other
countries don't have the space issues while we Americans do. I went to Amsterdam awhile back and people were jammed in together on the bus while pushing and shoving and stepping on my feet and not one person said "Sorry". They just don't have the "personal space" issues that we have.
