While dinning...

Hello everyone!
Thank you for tagging and following my blog. (:

Back to the topic. Today's dinner was no more than a usual and everyday thing, except that something new and interesting happened. The situation is as follows:

A person went beside my father and asked if he could have the seat. (He was carrying his food)

My father agreed.

He was grateful and sat down eating his dinner.

Just as he was eating halfway, a man carrying a tray of food just walk to the opposite side of the table and sat opposite of the man eating his dinner. (The just-arrived man did not ask if he could take a seat)

The man eating was a bit surprised of course, having a total stranger to sit opposite of him without asking if he could.

The just arrived man ate a little, and started calling out to his other family members and wanted them to come over, but there aren't any seats, so he went over to them instead.

After a few minutes, another man came, and he was the same as the one previously who also sat opposite of him without asking if he could.

I took a look and i noticed the surprised look of the man who came first to eat.

So that was what actually happened. In my opinion, its courtesy if you would ask another person if he himself could take a seat to have his meal. Otherwise you would just surprise someone, even to the extend of having made that person have a bad impression about you or some other opinions that wouldn't be of anything nice. If he is a nice person he would just keep quiet and continue his meal. Honestly I don't like people sitting beside or opposite me if he or she didn't ask, as I would be interrupted abruptly while having my meal.

Some of you may share your point of view, is it a necessity to ask if you could have a seat or you can just take a seat without asking? Do comment, thank you. (:
