calling a chair 

The reserving/holding of a chair for the time limit called
-originated in smith's point camp grounds NY

1)you must be sitting in the chair when you call it
2)you must be back down by the time limit called or its void
3)you cant sit anywhere else after you call 20 minutes or the chair you called it on is free

*The largest quantity of time allowed to be called is twenty minutes but you can call anything under that as well

Bobby:I'm hungry, im gonna go get something to eat quick, 20 mins

Bobby: You can sit down until i come back but i called 20 mins

Tim:Ohh yeahh thats right, the 20 mins rule, i didnt hear you calling a chair, im sorry
