Sheldon's Spot

Sheldon's Seat is a place in Sheldon and Leonard's apartment which Sheldon has reserved for himself, and has little tolerance if for anybody who tries to sit there. Sheldon defines his seat as "It is the singular location in space around which revolves my entire universe.." in The Apology Insufficiency. " In the Pilot Sheldon differentiates that seat from the other seats by saying to Penny "In the winter that seat is close enough to the radiator to remain warm and yet not so close as to cause perspiration, In the summer its directly in the path of a cross breeze created by opening windows there and there. It faces the television at an angle that is neither direct thus discouraging conversation or so far wide to create a parallax distortion..."

Origin
In The Staircase Implementation (when Leonard talks to Penny about when he first met Sheldon ), Sheldon says "... I have place it (the seat) in a state of eternal dibs .". When Leonard questions him, he says "Cathedra mea



regulai meae, That's Latin for my seat my rules". Though at that time the seat was a Lawn Chair. Later in that episode, Sheldon came home to discover Leonard has replaced his Lawn Chairs for a $100 couch which Leonard bought from the people on the first floor. Sheldon first seats on the middle seat on the couch, but he didn't like it because he had to turn his head too often, next he changed seat with Raj (left seat) but there was

a draft so he changed seats with Howard and finally he settled down there on the right seat.
