Stoopid people who save a seat for their bag on public transport

Solarball10 · 2008-09-23 15:13:33

It REALLY annoys me! I do it myself, but only when a bus is pretty much empty, once I see more and more people getting on, I move it before I'm asked to. I remember one day, there was literally only 1 seat left, and it was occupied by a girl's bag, I politely asked could I sit there, and she made this show of sighing…

Well i automatically put my bag on the seat beside me when i get on the bus. The last day i was on the bus and it was pretty full but i didnt bother moving my bag until it looked like someone might want to sit down, its not that i was being deliberately rude, i was just away in my own wee world. Fortunately no one sat down beside me, i have really long legs and i have to sit slightly side ways on buses and its uncomfortable if theres someone sitting beside me.

Just odd, odd logic used in the quoted post.

Pishaw!

This lady has signified that she would like to sit alone by leaving her bag beside her on the bus. The other people who have not taken such measures clearly are not as concerned. Hence it would be kind to take an extra few steps and indulge her in this small thing.
