Seat Saving in the Bingo Halls: What is Up?
Bingo is a fun and lively game that people love to play with friends or neighbors, usually in the local town center , school, or church. But there has been the recent problem of small fights breaking out over the most trivial of things in bingo halls across America. The most common problem that is often heard is that some players, probably owing to the fact that they have been playing in the same hall for some time already and can be called regular players, seem to think that they own the chairs that they sit on.
And this isn't just your regular bingo hall trifle. Some disagreements over who gets to sit where can escalate to full-blown brawls, where shoving and cursing can become common sights. Not the thing to see if you went to the bingo hall to distress and unwind.
But why do fun-loving, gentle people whose main purpose is to have fun turn into complete monsters once they see someone else sitting on the seat that they previously occupied?
Psychologists state two reasons: First, bingo players are notoriously superstitious, and some bingo players can get pretty attached to a particular chair if they feel that their luck will increase if they're sitting on it during every game.
This usually happens if someone who's never been to that particular bingo hall before has the misfortune to sit on somebody's 'lucky chair'. What makes the matter worse is that the particular seat is something of significance to the regular player. Without it he might think that he's chances of winning again are nil. This makes arguments over bingo hall chairs more serious than we'd like to think they are, and why bingo players are so determined to get 'their' chair back to the point that they result to physical aggression to do so.
The second reason is the issue of control. The player who has been sitting on that chair may feel that the chair is one of the few things that he can control, and he's ready to give that up easily. This is something very much akin animals in the wild being overly territorial when a new comer comes along. The regular player may dislike moving on to a new chair because that would mean a new location, new adjustments to make, new people who will be surrounding him. Sounds silly, but there are people who think that way.
It is a fact that small brawls over chairs can come up from time to time in the course of a bingo game. But this does not mean that bingo halls are dens of violence and aggression. Most bingo halls have facilitators and volunteers who make sure that each game is safe and that each player enjoys every game. So if you're new to a bingo hall, don't worry about unknowingly finding yourself occupying a regular's 'lucky' chair. If he happens to come by and demands the chair from you, the best thing to do is give the chair up . That was probably not YOUR lucky chair anyway.
