“Kept a stranger's seat warm”

I warmed a stranger's seat at a doctor's office, thinking it was polite, but she got upset and told me off.

What I wish I knew
"It's not polite to warm a stranger's seat in a public place."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't keep a stranger's seat warm, it's not appreciated."
