0 "in my chair" is probably more frequently used if someone's actually sitting on it. If you for example put a box on it, you'd probably say "I put that box on the chair", not "in the chair." 0-

00I would never say "in my chair" for an at-work situation. I'd say "at my desk." It's not my chair that's the issue, but my cube, my desk, etc. that's the issue." If I walk over to my desk and my chair was missing, and then I saw this guy sitting in my chair

00I'd probably say 'Who's sitting in 01b00my place02b00?' because it's the place, ie the position, that 'belongs' to me. eg The boss usually sits at the head of the table.02br

00On the other hand, if I walk into my office and you are sitting
