Question

hey one quick question when someone says two seats away do they mean like counting 1 2 and then the third seat is it or do they mean a seat in between?

Answer 1

I'd interpret this as being "not the seat next to you, but the next one over." Your explanation is fine, too.

Answer 2

I'd think they mean the third seat as you said. So if you're in seat #1, the person in seat #4 would be two seats away. But it's open to interpretation.

Answer 3

you would count the chair that the person is setting in then keep counting
