I understand you need a place to sit… You should understand if we need to share a 4 foot space, try to keep your bingo flapper arms within your own seat width instead of invading my space and forcing me to sit against the window as much as I can to avoid you touching me. Respect my space, wide load. —Hate being touched by random people

Clearly the bus is the right mode of transportation for someone like you…

Bingo halls remind me of sardine cans….. all stuffed into small confines…. been there once…. i love my space and that’s not one place that comes to mind.
Don’t be a pussy bitch, push back.
Four feet? One unfurled bingo wing is at least two feet long. Get a poking stick.
arm thyself with eau de ass and armpit d’onion frites. that’ll keep them away
Have chili and garlic bread for lunch for a couple of weeks. Then you can blast them bingo arms right through the cubicle wall.
You could always fart loudly, but then this is public transport and it’s not as if the herd don’t already stink.
Stand?
Hahaha, bingo flapper arms.
But its better then sitting next to one on a plane.
Zzzedward must be forced to take the bus on account of being in the low life class. This person may have a phobia with bring too close to people they are unfamiliar with? I know I do, so to call op an idiot is a little harsh, however ones who put down others are already beneath them as it is: case in point: see first sentence of this reply. I agree op!!! People who are large or “physically loud” should probably sit on the side seats that don’t have actual specified spaces. Well on the link anyway 🙂
You’re riding the bus op. Know what that means? You don’t have a car for whatever reason (yeah, yeah… You “choose” not to have one. So does every other person around here who can’t afford it), too lazy to ride a bike and so you’re relegated to the bus.
You get what you pay for. Sorry honey, but $2.25 gets you exactly that in comfort and luxury. You can be as insulting as you want but at the end of the day, you’re one of them.
I’m not being a dick. I took the bus for years and didn’t mind it much. But I wasn’t deluded into thinking I was someone special that could demand my own corner of space whenever the fuck i wanted it.
$2.25. Think about it.
I might be one of those wide loads, OB. I am tall and a size 14, and trust me, I don’t want to touch you either. But $2.25 doesn’t buy you a lot of space. Sit on the aisle and do the one-cheek hang like the rest of us.
coastreviewer: unfortunately, the world at large doesn’t care about your phobias or my phobias, or OB’s potential phobias, etc…. The bus is a sardine can of shittiness and you just have to suck it up. I’m not saying people should be flailing around and getting all physical with others, but there’s a certain expectation that you probably will have to squeeze in a seat at one point or another.
Same thing on any form of PUBLIC transportation (planes, trains, etc…). You just have to suck it up if you need to get to point b from point a on mass transit.
That’s not to say you can’t tell someone to move the fuck over when they’re hogging a seat.
BTW greatbatshit: some people who take the bus DO have cars. Have you TRIED finding parking in certain areas of Halifax during the weekdays? And when you find it, have you paid for it? Shit’s expensive and I’d much rather sacrifice driving every day than sacrifice on the amount of spending money I’d have (hay, I love to shop and I make no apologies about it). Plus, taking the bus saves on insurance premiums. Mo’ money to spend at the mall. That I drive to. On weekends. ^_^
