Situation: I am sitting on the middle of the bench facing a coffee table and there is an end table in my five o'clock direction.
Alternative situations: Sitting on a bench and drinking my tea, I am laughing at jokes of my friend who's on a couch in my 10 o'clock direction, while another friend on a chair in my 8 o'clock direction remains silent. I relaxed at the bench while waiting and there was a coffee table behind me.
Question: Which direction should I go if I want to take the chair?
