Possessive

I am trying to figure out the appropriate use in a sentence. When referring to the seating of other people, would it be:

"A person who causes annoyance to other person's seating"

*OR*

"A person who causes annoyance to other persons' seating"

I think that the second one is correct.

Thanks very much.

Neither of these make sense to me. What are you trying to say? We do not want to seat people who do not get along with each other next to each other.

It's awkward, but this is OK.

A person who takes any article onto a boat which is likely to obstruct another person's proper seating commits an offence.
