Sitting On A Poor Man’s Throne

Two-thirds of us are a little-bit obsessive about where we relax. A study of 2,000 people finds that 66% of people have their favorite spots, or “assigned seating” throughout their homes. In fact, they are so loyal to their favorite spots, that they argue with another family member about sitting in their “spot” twice a month. Whether it’s at the kitchen table, dad’s recliner, or the family couch – 68% say they’re “very passionate” about their spot. The survey, conducted by OnePoll, also found that 55% would feel uncomfortable sitting anywhere else but their favorite spot. Why are we attached to certain spots? 63% say they associate positive memories with particular areas or pieces of furniture in their home. (My favorite spot is wherever everyone else ISN’T!)
