[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Metro - rush hour --the guy was probably repositioning his bike each time b/c each time the doors open, people get in and out, and everybody has to readjust.  He probably was trying to keep the bike in the least amount of space possible and it woudl be hard to make sure the bike didn't touch at least one person on all sides at any given point in time.  It sounds like he honestly was trying his best, to this person who has been in this position only about a thousand times on crowded rush hours.  And in this type of situation, if everyone is doign their best to occupy the least amount of space possible and it's hot and crowded and we all just have to be patient, if then a SEATED passenger got persnickety about someting -- whoa, I'd be like, "That chick is waaaaay over-reacting.  Does she think everyone on here is having a picnic?  No, we're all just doing our best and keeping quiet until we can mercifully get to our own stop and get off."  Lordy lordy!![/quote]

So, if you're on the Metro with a bike and despite your best efforts, you continue to hit someone with your bike, you don't say "Excuse me"? Since when does rush hour overrule common decency? And if the person asked you to move your bike, would you still not apologize, but rather say "Calm down"?[/quote]

Yep, I'd be sort of embarrassed and be like, "Whoa whoa howa, ok, calm down there, lady! Here, I am repositioning the bike!  See:  nice and slowly so no one gets hurt and no one flies off the handle again.  Bike is moved. Ok? Ok?  Everybody good now?"  and then in my head, "I'd be thinking, 'This is why you really have to be careful on the Metro!  You just never know what nutcase is going to fly off the handle for some perceived slight!'")  [/quote]

WTF, you don't apologize for hitting someone??!! Whether accidental or not, most rational and courteous people would apologize. Wow...I can't believe people are so clueless and rude![/quote]
