Maybe this is why, people like their space and if you're already taking up the best part of the two seats why sit beside you when there's more space in one of the other available seats.

The only things I hate regarding people sitting beside me on the bus is when guys try to show the world "Hey look, I can spread my legs to 90 degrees for no real reason! Aren't I amazing." (I am male myself so I KNOW there is no real reason beyond ego for doing this) or when ignorent fecks read the newspaper holding it up so you keep getting elbowed by them.

them buses can be quite...eh...ya know, when they're stopped at lights.

Yeah that is a different topic but god that used to happen to me alot years back. Used to have to go through this road with a load of pot holes, before you know it i'm pitching a tent and its my stop. The good ole nip and tuck between the belt has to be done perfectly and quickly to avoid embarrassment in that situation.

old women love to sit beside me and talk

Actually if you have a large sack (ahem) it is needed to keep your legs open. Its really uncomfortable on a long journey to sit there with sweaty or chafing bits.

Anytime someone sits next to me on the bus and I don't want them to, I just do this*; Start making a really high-pitched beeping sound every 3 seconds. After a while turn to your seat buddy and ask them if they can hear that strange noise. Keep getting louder until they move

*May, or may not, be true.

Well, it's quite hard to check them out properly when they are right beside you, better a seat or two away on the other side of the bus

you need to perfect the staring out the window but really checking out her reflection trick.

If you want to sit beside somebody, why don't you pick somebody and sit beside them, don't wait for someone else to sit beside you

gidget · 02-08-2007 06:05PM

The worst is when someone sits next to ya & absolutely stinks of urine:mad:
You just find yourself cursing the bus driver to hurry the f*** up and drive so you can get to your bus-stop quicker and breath properly after holding it for that particular part of the journey!!

StephenC_IRL · 02-08-2007 06:23PM

^^ Now now, let's not spoil a fun thread by going all PC... :rolleyes:

I'm with my fellow car driver though.. Always guaranteed a seat, don't have to listen to someone else's choice in music, phone conversations etc, warm/cool (depending on the day), dry and don't have to let anyone sit beside me I don't want to.

As for the gridlock thing.. all you need to do is have a few alternate routes planned to avoid the worst of it.. not like the buses that have to crawl through it regardless!

Cars ftw!

I do that aswell, works like a charm.

Happens me too, I dont get it. I even offer to pull back up my pants, but they dont even answer. Some ignorant people out there.

If your sac was that large you'd have such a waddle that everyone would think you got all your pleasure from the other side of your body, or be the best customer for jockstraps in the whole country.
You keep believing your so well endowed, the rest of us know all too well you're just overcompensating.

people are intimidated by me and usually get shy because I'm hot.

So what you really mean is you've got really bad BO, right?

Over compensating? Pfft strictly comfort. If I didn't have to I wouldn't but as it stands I do. Jock straps you say? I never heard of those before I shall have to give them a look!

You might need to get that checked out. It really shouldn't be that much of a problem for you.

people never sit next to me

but I put it down to them not wanting to look like pedophiles
avoid the 16 year old on her own or you're a pedo
it works for me, I hate people sitting next to me

If this realy is a problem try Jasper Conran underwear, available in Debenhams. Much more comfortable than underwear designed by women, theres actualy built in ballroom, expensive though I spent €150 on a weeks suply at christmas. Maybe you won't be so angry then.

Best seat on the bus is the one just behind the stairs, lots of legroom and you can see everyone going down the stairs.

I only realised the brilliance of this seat this morning. before I used to sit at the front, but you get much more room in the seat at the stairs, and a good vantage point. I tip my cap to thee

90% of the time trying this I just end up looking at my own reflection. Dastardly attractive wimmin sitting exactly in my profile *rubs thighs and dribbles*

Have you tried putting your penis away?

Works for me.

I used to respect you Sean, but this? How could you?! There are some things that you keep to yourself and this is one of them. Expect all 6ft+ boardsies knocking on your door when their precious secret has been exposed to the masses. Shame on you Sean, shame on you.

In fact, I'm going to get Darragh to give you a good kicking, I'm sure he'll be understanding.

Nah, I am 6ft 3" and I find that seat behind the staircase doesent have THAT much legroom.
unless you two are referring to the seat near the baggage stall, in that case I take back what I said, that weird looking seat has loads of legroom.
Off topic, but I hate the four seats layout on the train near the toilet, plenty of people have to turn sideways to get some legroom:mad:
