    Keep tapping him on the shoulder and aksing him to return his seat to the upright position

    (Somehow) Make yourself constantly sneeze. Don't block your nose. Problem solved. Albeit crassly.

    EDIT: Of course you have to aim the spittle between the seats........Or the top of his head.......

    Shake his chair every 2 minutes shouting "EARTHQUAKE"

    Keep making fart/ scuttery noises with your mouth. It also helps if you happen to have some smelly cheese to hand, gives it more authenticity.

    Push your chair back as well?
    Or if it's really bothering you, ask him if he wouldn't mind moving his chair forward a bit.

    What the hell man??

    This place is getting like those Bash.org quotes.

    Recline your chair so the person behind you has your chair pushed right under their nose. Whatever response that person gives, blame the person in front for causing this disastrous domino effect. Watch with amusement as the two passengers battle each other for the remaining journey.

    a good fart solves everything!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭johnmcdnl


    start kicking the seat "accidentally" not a whole lot more annoying than someone kicking your seat


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,190 ✭✭✭dee_mc


    Do u have MP3 player with you? Sing along! Drum on back of seat! Or 'call' someone and have a loud phone conversation about the VERY RUDE PERSON who won't move their seat to upright position!
    (hmm my solutions may result in other passengers being annoyed with you... ah well!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,542 ✭✭✭Captain Darling


    Leave your nob on his shoulder and then start making small talk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,513 ✭✭✭✭cson


    Kick him in the face.

    Blatantly ripping off an idea from the famous facekicker, for shame!

    See it all depends OP; did you sit into the seat while the seat was reclined or was it reclined already? If the latter; then you have no case.

    For your future reference I'll give you a number of tips to make your journey more comfortable on buses;

    1. Always sit on the outside of your seat. This means that it's unlikely that someone will go to the bother of asking you can they sit on the inside if there are other seats available on the bus. This will ensure that you have the two seats to yourself for the duration of the journey.

    2. Recline your seat immediately if there is no one sitting behind you. This allows further comfort safe in the knowledge you're not being a bollocks. Furthermore if anyone chooses to sit behind you it's their own stupid fault if there were other seats on the bus - don't recline your seat. If they ask I find a good way is to feign deep sleep.

    3. In terms of good seats; I find the 2nd row of seats to the front in Bus Eireann Buses have a little bit extra room and a nice ledge for an arm rest on the inside, otherwise down the back qould be considered prime location as all the biddys, bridies and paddies don't like going down past halfway - no horrible old and dying smell for you.

    Citylink have only one option really; 2nd last row of seats to the left - the emergency exit seats. Otherwise known as the couch. There is literally 3 foot of leg room there all for you.

    And thus concludes our lesson on how to survive comfortably on buses.

    You could always just have a word with him.

    Nothing wrong with being civilised.

    there's at least one upside to this story of woe,chick next to the dude in question has reclined her own chair back,plus wearing a low cut top,so not a complete disaster:)

    happened to me on a flight to spain...
    2 drunken old fools kept the plane waiting at that moment i knew they could only sit in front of me.

    I asked politley for them to put there seats forward and the woman replied no we should have got better seats.... i waited for the plane to take off and had to climb over the fella at the end of our row who was kipping to go to the jax.... so i "slipped" and clattered ya womans chair.. even better as she was sleeping as well... upon my return the seat was uprite..
