I work all day. 8:30-5:30, a significant amount of it on my feet. The only thing I want to do when I get on my bus ride home, is sit down, listen to my music and maybe read a book. I find that to not be an option however, because on my packed #8, your BAG is taking up a seat. I understand that there isn’t much room. I know you may have been at work as well. However, I am relatively positive that you didn’t purchase a fare for you, and your carry-on. I don’t think it’s asking that much, for you to place that purse/backpack/messenger either on the floor or in your own damn lap. Do you not notice all of the people standing? I do, and I find it fucking rude, that I have to deal with your stink-eyes and heavy sighs just because I ask if you can move your worthless crap. I paid good money for that seat, I intend to use it.

The thing is, your passive-aggressive stink eye only empowers this wankery. Those folks know it’s more uncomfortable to ask them to move their bag. You need to be blunt – a “I’d like to use this seat. Could you move your bag?” is plenty straightforward without being a dick. More people should try it. Same goes for airport gate seating!!
No, I’m going to make you ask me to move my bag. This being on the bus, the odds are pretty good that you’re sweaty and reek of BO and/or ungodly amounts of cheap perfume, are irritatingly talkative, or in some other way an undesirable seat partner. My bag is there as a self-defense mechanism, if you’re too socially awkward to ask me to move it, eat shit and keep moving down the aisle with your unbearable eight-hour workday.
You whinny little bitchass. If you’re too much of a pussy to ASK for a seat, then why don’t you get your sorry ass off the bus?
Jesus, what terrible reading comprehension you three have. Try reading the second to last sentence slowly out loud.
My bicycle always has a seat for me.
