Seems to always be that fine line between OCD and a$$hole. Ours only fit 10, but there's another rack that fits another dozen so we never have this issue
I love bowl1820's answer. "We do not have a league rule against it". I will use this reply when I get the chance. It could be soon.

I make it a habit when shooting a spare to stick around and pick the spare ball off the rack and set it on one of the unused seats.
Someone asked why I do that and I answered, if there isn't room for everyone to have two up there, then there isn't room for anyone to have two up there.
Our return rack only holds about 13 balls 6 on each side and one right in front of the return hole. When it is full I give notice a few times then start off loading the last 3 onto the floor. After a few times they get the message.
Last week, we had a backup because people weren't paying enough attention to getting their spare balls, and a couple went crashing overboard onto the floor.
I generally don't get too excited about the balls on the return. But, there's a few in my league who are oblivious and don't bother to take theirs off the rack until a problem arises.
I always carry a master cup with me as all of our returns are older and can only fit 6-10 balls so it's almost always an issue. I bowled a lot of doubles and trio's leagues before and didn't use to have to worry about it. it took some getting used to having to wait for the spare ball and move it.
