“if a seat belongs to someone, shouldn’t it be labeled?”
not necessarily. My car isnt labeled. You should still assume it is someone’s
“And if it’s not, how can you expect someone to know?”
Ask. If unsure how I put a direct phrase in quotes above. It is only 5 words long, really not hard to remember
“And if he doesn’t know and is sitting there, isn’t it assur to interrupt him in the middle of davening no matter how politely it’s done?”
No. There is no such issur (depending where in daveing he is holdig though even in birchas krias shema Im not sure what the issur would be, though it isnt nice, and birchas krias shema is waaaay to late to ask people to move in my opinion

“Let’s face it, those people who kick guests out of their seat, by and large generally do not help the poor guest find another seat.”
joseph I agree. Though Im not sure they HAVE to, of course it is nice to, and there is amitzvah to be nice.
That being said, I can see people disagreeing on this point.
