I understand that an empty seat on the bus is an available seat, so i politely moved my bags onto my lap this morning when you needed to sit. But minutes later when the bus cleared out, and we were surrounded by vacant seats, your fat ass stayed parked next to me, not to mention your lardness which was spilling over to my side! I’m the last person to complain about sharing a double seat with someone. I don’t blame you for wanting to sit, however, when i’m being sandwiched against the goddamn window, and there are several available seats, i do tend to get a little pissed off. Not to mention that i could fucking TASTE your cologne. Please, please, please. Move it over a seat. You won’t have to cut of anyone’s personal space OR oxygen. Everyone wins!
Oh, and please stop the leg drumming and simultaineous headbanging. You look like a fucking jackass.

You could get up and move too.
i think that if your sitting with someone and an empty seats becomes avil if you get up an dmove its rude
uhh… ok… That’s dumb… but VERY well written…
I could not agree with you more…who wants to sit, rubbed up next to a stanger…I certainly don’t!!! so how could it be considered rude giving someone personal space? I recall a time when the bus was full of empty seats and some guy sat next to me…and I was thinking, “buddy, this is a bus full of empty seats, WHY would you sit next to me and have me breath in your stench…I don’t even know you, nor do I want to know. Go sit somewheres else!”
Hey Jane, why not go create a bylaw over this? Hit obesity and stinkism all in one go?
