The Sum of All Fears

We have a public computer lab under an automated system that assigns people to a computer as they arrive. We also have a lot of people who come in and don't want to sit next to another person when there are unused computers away from people. I understand, totally. However, the system is automated, and unfortunately written to assign seats contiguously. The fun part is the variety of plea reasons people use to get out of this order.

Today, a man told the lab attendant that he has rightophobia. I thought I might have the same phobia, but he said that means he cannot sit on the right-hand side of anyone.
