Went to a double birthday party the other day where both family and friends came, an afternoon/evening party. A bit late there arrived a young couple and by then more than half the people had already left so there were plenty of seats free in one end of the long table. Instead of sitting next to the rest of the people, the couple sat down next to each other several chairs away from everybody else! I don't get it. They came, stood there by themselves until seated with their plate of food, almost as far away from everyone else, well aware that they weren't taking anybody else's seats. Isn't that pretty rude?
No, I don't get it.
No, I don't get it.
This is not a photo from the actual event, just an example of the kind of table mentioned.

Don´t be so hard. Maybe they were just shy and didn´t want to disturb the other guests. It is rather common in Sweden. Not everybody are like me and probably you. Maybe this couple needed an invitation to come and sit close to the others. Try this next time.
The asked where they could sit, we told them that there were plenty of seats right next to the rest of us. They sat down several chairs away. We told them again that they could/should sit closer. They didn't. It took a loong while before they moved closer to us. And no, they didn't seem THAT shy.
