    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 really loudly as if it was such a huge inconveneince....silly biatch...:mad::mad::mad:

    Do YOU do this? If so....SHAME ON YOU!

    It's perfectly understandable that no-one wants ugly people like you to sit next to them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,877 ✭✭✭✭Quazzie


    I always lie across all 5 of the back seats even when there are people standing up the front


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    I keep one of these on the seat next to me.

    No one wants to wake a sleeping cat.

    I like my space, but when the bus starts to fill up I'll move my bag.

    I never could understand why people get offended when people don;t sit beside them on the bus. I prefer being on my own, leg room ftw!

    Try riding the f*cking U-Bahn (underground) in Munich every bleedin day. This sort of sh!t goes on and more.

    I'm glad I only have a couple more weeks of it or I'd go all Finnish on their asses :D

    It's easily solved by using the dog whisperer Cesar Milan's technique of "Positive Reinforcement".

    What you do is stand nearby and wait for the bus to pick up speed. When you feel yourself rocking back from the buses thrust quickly grab hold of the bag, loop it around their neck and fling it out the bus window. The "drag" from the buses motion will apply a strong, yet non lethal pressure equivalent of a choke chain.

    After doing this a couple of times the subject will begin to draw the conclusion that being a rude cunt ends with them gasping and choking for breath and the negative behavior should cease.

    I find pissing on yourself keeps most people from sitting beside you. Its extra affective if you piss on them.

    I asked this old guy to move his bag so i could sit down once, he let me then got up and stormed to the back of the bus to find another seat. So i ended up with a dual seat free and he was squashed in with some fatso at the back:confused:

    Im the same I did it when in college when the bus was empty, out of convenience so I could read my notes or whatever on the way home. I remember one night at about 8pm there was only me upstairs and this woman came up and stood over me and said NOTHING until I moved the bag (I was so intimidated at this point!) and she sat down beside me!!!

    AWKWARD!!!!!

    That's kinda freaky - I mean, why would she choose to sit beside you when every other seat is free? You should have said "Sorry, I'm not interested." :D

    i always pretent to be asleep if i think my ill have to let some one sit beside me. most of the time it doen't work, no big deal really


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,111 ✭✭✭peanuthead


    yeah she was a wierdo alright!!

    haha, I remember this guy fell asleep on the bus and this girl then came on and sat beside him. Bus was really full and there were no more available seats when the guy, still asleep, collapses onto the girl and starts snoring while propped up against her shoulder. She was so embarrassed!!

    Ive seen alot of funny things on the busses alright! And some horrible things too.

    that's where you draw the line between a bus and a nitelink


  • Registered Users Posts: 119 ✭✭diamondp


    Got on a bus and there was only one seat left and a old lady had her sewing machine on it, when i ask her to move it she said no sorry :eek: i had paid my money for a seat on the bus and i was going to get it. so i ask her how much did it cost for the ticket she had bought for her sewing machine and when she said i didnt buy it a ticket then i told her to move it cause i did. :D cheeky i no put i did pay for a seat.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    I just sit on the bag.

    Simple.


  • Moderators Posts: 51,733 ✭✭✭✭Delirium


    I ask them to move as it looks like the bag is sleeping.:pac:

    If you can read this, you're too close!



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,324 ✭✭✭tallus


    Don't use public transport myself, but I'd ask for the bag to be moved, and if the move wasn't forthcoming I'd sit on the fcuking thing :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,987 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    Why do people always ask 'is someone sitting there?' when they see the vacant seat as well.

    I always make the seat tapping motion whenever anyone thinks about sitting next to me, and throw in a wink as well ;)

    Always guarantee's a free seat.

    I find it does work quite well. Sit in such a way as to take up too much room and pretend to be asleep. Someone will always choose a different empty seat rather than having to talk to the sleeping guy. Now, it probably won't work if its the very last seat on the bus, but up until that point...

    Just bring a bottle of water, and empty the contents onto the seat next to you.

    I like a bit of moistness on a bus. Combined with the vibrations, you're sure for a win! :pac:
