...And if you sit in it, there will be Hell to pay. A favourite chair, a spot on The Couch, a park bench... Either someone never sits anywhere else, no one else is allowed to sit there, or often both. This can develop, as on Friends, from characters always sitting in the same place out of necessity in a Three Cameras show, and eventually having their relationship with that spot lampshaded. Alternatively it can be an ordinary character trait, possibly a kind of Security Blanket for a character with obsessive tendencies. In a military (or Mildly Military) setting, the commanding officer ordering someone out of his chair can serve as an assertion of authority. If the character dies, do not expect that chair to be filled any time soon. Not to be confused with This Is My Side, a stock sitcom plot where a shared space is split down the middle. Should the two tropes ever meet, expect the chair's owner to find himself cut off from using it (or to try declaring it an enclave within his enemy's territory). |

Shawn Spencer in Psych meets Juliet when she sits in his chair. At first she thinks he's one of those types who could only sit in a certain chair, but he actually had been sitting there and already had his stuff there. He decides to let her keep it and starts flirting with her. | |

Cheers: Norm Peterson always sits on the same stool at the end of the bar. All of the regulars respect his claim to it (although Cliff calls dibs on it one time when it looks like Norm might not be coming to the bar any more), but in one episode some people new to the bar sit in Norm's spot and the stool next to it. | |

In The King's Speech, before King George VI's coronation, speech therapist Lionel Logue disrespectfully sits on the stammering King's chair in order to provoke him into an outburst of indignation – having noticed that George doesn't stammer when he's angry. The chair in question? St. Edward's Chair. | |

Sheldon's "spot" on The Big Bang Theory - see the page quote. To the extent that whenever he has to sit somewhere he has never been before (and isn't obliged to sit on a given place), his first move is trying to find The Spot. And in another episode, Leonard treats Penny's suggestion of having sex in The Spot (when Sheldon is away) as if it were incredibly kinky and sexy. |

On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine In "To The Death", Bashir sits down in the mess hall of the Defiant, and Dax and O'Brien warn him that he's sitting in Worf's favorite seat. Bashir is unimpressed—until Worf and his Death Glare show up. It's to no avail anyway as the moment Worf sits down a Red Alert goes off. And then there's Morn's barstool, which is so connected to him that whenever he's not around, Quark projects a hologram of him just so it looks like his unofficial mascot is still there. When Morn has apparently been killed, Quark insists that someone continue to sit in Morn's chair in memoriam (actually because he's worried about losing revenue). In a Casting Gag, the first person he plonks in the chair is the actor who plays Morn, without makeup. |

Star Trek Happens when Kirk sits in the Captain's chair of the Enterprise in Star Trek (2009)... when he's still a First Officer. Inverted in Star Trek Into Darkness, where Sulu is reluctant to sit in the chair when given temporary command. He does prove himself to be capable. In Star Trek Beyond, Kirk is thrown off when Jaylah flops into the captain's chair of the Franklin before he can take it. The ship has been her "house" for years, so it's unsurprising she made herself at home. |

Archie Bunker on All in the Family. So much that when Mike and Gloria moved out to the house next door and Archie came to visit, Mike said this: Said chair later officially becomes "Archie's chair" when he's at the Stivics' house. For exceptionally noted house guests (Sammy Davis Jr., for example) Archie insists that they sit in his chair and he takes Edith's, relegating her to the sofa. Archie's chair is now in the Smithsonian Institution. It was sent there after CBS ended the series the first time — the producers then had to re-create the chair when they decided to continue, at the cost of hundreds of dollars. (The original was purchased from a thrift store for a few bucks.) |

In Courage the Cowardly Dog, Eustace always sits in his armchair and in a few cartoons would refuse to get off it and would get mad at anyone who tried to sit in it. His catch phrase eventually became the trope name, "This is my chair." To the point that in the episode "Klub Katz", Muriel suggests a vacation and Eustace refuses to get out of his chair. Gilligan Cut to Eustace on a cruise ship, still in the chair. Even when the ship is rocked by a wild storm he doesn't leave his chair. Even as his chair is flying in the air, he doesn't leave his chair. After being turned into a crane-operated wrecking ball by Katz to fight for the latter's amusement, he discovers that Katz is sitting in his chair and promptly goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against him. | |

Played with the the Fawlty Towers episode "A Touch of Class". When Lord Melbury arrives at the hotel, Basil orders the Wareing family to move to another table in the middle of their meal, saying that Lord Melbury always sits there. When Lord Melbury sits, Basil accidentally pulls his chair away, causing him to fall and knock the table over, to the delight of the Wareing family. Later, when the family enter the bar, Mr Wareing asks jovially "is there any part of the room you'd like us to keep away from?". | |

The Royle Family: Jim always sits in the armchair opposite the TV, Denise and Dave on the sofa next to Barbara, and Anthony on a chair. If Twiggy's round, he's in Anthony's chair, if Nana's round, she's next to Barbara. They even always sit in the same places at the dinner table. Not out of OCD or pure comedic purposes of any kind, the show just emulates the completely standardized ways that families interact with each other. |

In Girls Kingdom, the cafeteria where the students eat supposedly allows everyone to eat where they wish. However, The Societal Arts students all have their favorite spots to sit, and as a rule, no one tries to sit in their spots. With members of a given salon (think clique combined with social club), these spots tend to be grouped around specific salon members sitting together with their contracted maids right beside them. The Sky Salon also has private areas where each member can be alone with her maid or maids, intrusion upon which is highly frowned upon unless you have business or permission. | |

How I Met Your Mother: The main characters always sit in the same table in the bar they always visit, so much so that it is "their" table and the bartender once threatened a group of extras who unknowingly sat there. A one-off gag has the gang walking in to find people sitting there; | |

Martin is very attached to his recliner on Frasier, though luckily, no one else wants to sit in it. When Frasier thoughtlessly replaces it and loses the old one, Martin gives a very heartfelt speech about why it's so important to him: | |

As mentioned, the Central Perk sofa on Friends. One storyline even revolved around a pair of bullies kicking Ross and Chandler off it. Another example is Chandler's single-episode Compressed Vice of getting extremely territorial over chairs he's recently got up from. Another episode of Friends had Phoebe and Rachel forced to sit by the window because somebody got to their normal seat first, Rachel was quite angry. Of course this was a set up so the pair could see Ross "attacking" two women. One episode's Couch Gag has the group walk in the Central Perk, find the sofa is already occupied and decide to simply leave. Lampshaded again in another episode where a man decides to sit in one of the Central Perk chairs usually reserved for the cast's Social Semi-Circle. Chandler, sitting in the chair next to him, gestures him to leave without explanation. |

Babylon 5: Captain Sheridan in one episode came upon a Psi Cop of ill repute among station personnel sitting in the White Star's command chair, and told him to "Get the hell out of my chair!" Similarly, in the first episode of the show, Garibaldi is using Ivanova's workstation to do research on various merchant ships that have been hit by Raiders. |

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: To assert his dominance as a sixth form prefect, Ron ousts a first-year from a chair by the fire in the Gryffindor common room, and sits in it himself. Hermione then prods Ron out of the chair, and offers it to the first-year again. | |

Catherine has the four main guys going the same bar (The Stray Sheep) every night and sitting at the same table. They even sit in the same spots at that table. | |

The C-plot of the Gravity Falls episode 'The Deep End' has Stan and Gideon fighting over the best chair at the pool. To be fair, the chair has a lot going for it: it's equidistant from the restrooms and snack bar, has just the right amount of sun and shade, and is also pointed away from where Old Man McGucket lotions himself. | |

Similar to the Star Trek novelization, The Ghost Brigades presents the Generals' Mess as an example of this, a small dining area with a spectacular view which is strictly speaking open to all Colonial Defense Forces personnel, but out of tradition, only Generals may actually dine there. A running gag is made of a beleaguered Colonel being repeatedly invited to have lunch with various generals there (they eat deliciously described food, he drinks a glass of refreshing water which he privately admits to himself isn't all that refreshing). One of the generals decides to use the Colonel as a pawn to break what he sees as a stupid tradition by ordering him to eat a cookie. | |

In the pilot of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the fandom rejoices as Capt Picard yells at Wesley to "Get out of my chair!" Reportedly, Patrick Stewart would behave in a similar manner towards reporters and others who sat in the captain's chair on the Bridge set without invitation. According to Wil Wheaton, this was more a matter of respect than one of interdiction. This is deliberately averted on a couple of occasions; Q sits in the Captain's Chair as a sign of his own ego and contempt for humanity, and Picard has to stop his bridge crew who instinctively move to throw the omnipotent prankster off it. After Picard is assimilated by the Borg in "The Best of Both Worlds", Riker becomes captain. He's in the ready room looking at Picard's chair and wondering "What would you do?" Guinan then enters the room and sits in the chair, making the point that he's got to forget Picard and start thinking what should Captain Riker do. |
