i was not at the seat vs i was not on the seat

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'I was not at the seat' implies that the person was not near the seat, while 'I was not on the seat' suggests that the person was not physically sitting on the seat. The choice between the two phrases depends on the specific context and what the speaker wants to convey.
