hogging
Not letting share
Hogging is taking more than your fair share of something, especially a shared resource: Stop hogging the blanket, He's been hogging the bathroom all morning.
The word suggests greedy, inconsiderate behavior—monopolizing what others need or want.
Road hog describes someone who drives selfishly, taking up more space than necessary.
