Situation: I am facing a table with two armchairs under it. These two chairs are in front of me across the table. There is another armchair on my left.
Alternative situations: I went to place my food down on top of the table and there was a chair to the left. I am standing and facing a round table on the right side of the room performing jumping jacks.
Question: Which direction should I go if I want to sit by another table?
