Mom with 3 kids grabs a group’s shaded Yankee Stadium seats while they are at the bathroom, refuses to leave, tells the usher they stole her seats, then storms off when proven wrong: ‘ The level of entitlement on some people is wild’

• Shade in a stadium is like front row seats at a concert. If you have it, you defend it. If you don’t, some part of your brain starts thinking up reasons you deserve it. In public spaces, the thinking often goes: if no one is sitting here right now, it’s my seat now. Challenge that logic, and the tone shifts from casual squatting to full-scale drama, complete with wounded expressions and rapid escalation to higher authority. In stadiums, that higher authority is the usher, essentially the referee for petty seating wars.

• At Yankee Stadium, in seats along the third base line that happened to be mercifully shaded, a group returned from a bathroom break to find their row occupied by an uninvited mother and three kids. Her reasoning was simple. The kids were hot, so the seats were hers. Her exit was classic. An insult, a false accusation to the usher, and a stomped retreat into the crowd. In the scorebook of the day, it was one more victory for ticket stubs over wishful thinking.
