--The guy in the poker room who thinks that the tv closest to him is HIS tv, and should be set to a channel of his choosing. Go ahead and try to change it, and watch this guy. He'll jump up and scream as if you had just burst into his living room and commandeered HIS tv.

First come, first served, man. There are exceptions, like when EVERYONE wants to watch something else, but by and large I think you missed on this one. Nobody who says anything like that would ever admit to what I'm about to say, but the truth is, if the situation were reversed, you wouldn't like some dude waltzing in and changing the channel while you were already watching something(and who knows how many others were too). You'd think that was some amazingly egotistical SOB.

That would be like someone walking over and sitting in your lap because he figured it was his chair now, since after all, he wanted it.
