God, stop bitching about your Trimet experiences. We don't care if you had to stand, or if the person next to you was weird, or if someone left a bag in the vacant seat next to them because they're antisocial. WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK.
This "problem" is as simple as putting on your big boy pants, opening your mouth and saying "hey, can I sit there?" and taking the open seat once they move for you. I suspect your real issue is you want the outside seat and you're butthurt they don't scoot over to you. Even children know the first come first serve rule.
When has muffins ever posted an original or interesting comment?? I'm scouring the records and coming up empty. Nothing but feeble, irrelevant, limp-dick attacks with no hint of originality or wit, let alone literacy.
