If there's plenty of room on the bus I see no problem keeping your bags on the seat beside you tbh.

It's denying somebody the option to sit beside you despite there being loads of empty double seats and make your feel uncomfortable - and that's rude.

I think you're not in a position to judge as you're breaking the rules too tbh.

ah but I am being practical but I am not being practical to the extent that I am selfishly depriving a paraplegic of a space to park his feckin car. I never abandon the car anyway but if I did at least it wont be clamped in a disabled space so I wont be removing it for use of someone who actually does need it. Right and wrong can be a grey area. I try to keep my wrongs a shade of white.

Justify it all you like, you're still parking illegally, like him.

And it's not rude to sit down beside them, making them feel uncomfortable, even though it's obvious that they don't want anyone beside them?

I don't want some gobshíte sitting next to me making small talk, I'd just get up and move to a different seat tbh if someone did that.

You dont seem to get the point of my post though. Inspector Javert types abound. I actually consider others when I am behind the wheel. The law can be an ass sometimes but I will not park in a disabled bay and hence give a disabled person no option but to risk being clamped himself if he wants to go about his business.

If they don't want anyone sitting next to them they should pay for two seats

If you don't want anyone sitting next to you don't take the scuttering bus.

Get a bike and some lycra! People will think you're cool.

There are various reasons why someone might want to sit in a particular seat. For example on the Luas there are sets of four seats with two facing the opposite direction to the direction the train is travelling. I never sit on these because I feel sick if I am facing the wrong way. I also don't particularly want to sit facing strangers unless I really have to.

So regardless of whether a load of those kind are free if there is some wan taking up a seat with her bag on a seat that I would like to sit on I will indeed choose to sit beside her, and on her bag if necessary!!

There may be reasons why people choose to pick one seat over another but for the vast majority, I very much doubt it is so they can make small talk with the stranger beside them!

If they don't want anyone beside them on public transport, they may need to rethink how they get around the place.

The bus stresses me out, I never take the bus. The way people know what coins to drop in, and then there's me standing like a simpleton waiting to be told how much to pay. Then I get stressed out because they don't announce the stops so I'm on edge I'm going to miss my stop.

I used to get the train though, so I'd get on the train at 6:50, and there'd usually be no seats left but plenty of women either sprawled across two seats asleep, or using the inside seat for their bags. So inconsiderate.

And to be honest, he doesn't dress very well himself, so I am always amazed that he is considered some kind of fashion expert.

Since when does the person coming out of a shop door have right of way over those of us walking by? I'm encountering these fools on a daily basis, sauntering out of shops without a care in the world, directly into my path

Agreed. Think I posted this before but here goes. I was walking down Grafton St one evening when a wan barged out of a shop. She said something like FFS, because I didn't jump out of her way.

I said 'exactly'...she is still looking at me, I think.

My daughter was in a club and he was there, doing all the "look at me" sh1t, and one of her friends, who was a bit pissed asked would he get in a photo for her ( as you do). He reluctantly agreed, and mumbled something like "you cant get five minutes to yourself in this place" and then proceeds to turn on a big smile for the photo.............knob!

Would love if she had handed him the camera instead

He's a self-proclaimed fashion expert who ground us all down into believing he knows anything about fashion. He first appeared as the presenter of the dating show Wanderlust (which I was a secretly massive fan of!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanderlust_(TV_series) and he was no fashionista back then!

People who refer to women as "wans" are quite annoying actually

Fill the tank with Bisto, it wont stop scutterin, but at least it will thicken it up a bit;)

The Scuttery bus has some ground rules:

You must undertake to sit on other passengers' laps. We must do a complete reversal of Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity. Double up first. Then and only then can we even think about occupying the free seats.

If you see anyone with a bag on a seat you must stuff the bag into their mouth and push them out the window.

If someone already has a passenger on their lap but there is a vacant seat beside them you must cosy up to them and make small talk with them.

If I can do earlobe-nibbling at my discretion, I'm in. Vorsprung durch Skutter.

I was told the other day that I eat kiwis in a very sophisticated way (wtf?) only to come here and find out that some of you actually bother to peel those hairy balls of goodness!? :eek:

Anyway trivial annoyance for this week: dilemmas
Doing the whole pro/cons thing and yet getting nowhere

At least my shower is back working, I'm off in for a cold one

(water pump went on the blink this morning, far too annoying for the trivial thread as I couldn't take a shower, plumber left just now

)

Pumpkinseeds · 04-09-2014 04:26PM

Strops. Now, this is very hypocritical of me since I have at least one strop a day. That being said my usually very mellow husband had to clear out a plastic shed and pull it forward so the foundation for the wall can be done tomorrow. Sweet suffering Jesus, strop only just begins to cover it. I'm very glad that I bought him beer. So glad that I actually brought beer out to him.

I figured as long as he had something in his mouth he would shut the fcuk up.:D He's lovely really.:)
