Is it okay if I change seats?
This page contains the Japanese phrase: Is is okay if I change my seat?
No, you sit there! I actually was told I couldn’t change seats the other day. I was stuck between two deaf old ladies shouting at each other about daily affairs and a business deal between two deaf business men shouting at each about business. I had a splitting headache because I was dehydrated due to the 35 degrees of heat and 80% humidity. I said, “seki o kaete mo iidesu ka?” and the waiter said no because I was already at my seat. I left pretty much after that and told him I would never eat there again! Note to self, never ask to do something, just do it.
