[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep my bag on the seat next to me unless there are no seats left and people are standing and neat a seat.

Why?

Because once as a woman, I literally was trapped on a bus that eventually became empty. And guess what? The very large man sitting next to me, WOULD NOT MOVE to another empty seat.

I felt so violated. I couldn't get up because then I would have had to squeeze past him.

I asked him and then I told him to please get up now and move to an empty seat, that I couldn't really breathe and needed to throw up.

I started making gagging and coughing and spitting noises until he moved.

I'm a petite woman. And this dude was purposely not moving to an empty seat.

So, yes, I keep my bag on the seat next to me unless the bus or train or seating area is completely full and people are standing and need a place to sit. [/quote]

How does this prevent what happened before? Eventually you move your bag and someone sits down. The bus will empty again and your seat partner might still be on the bus, not moving. Do you think because you got there first you shouldn't have to move if you don't want someone next to you? That's not any sort of bus rule. You literally weren't trapped you just didn't want to move because you might have to "squeeze" past him? This story just doesn't even make a lot of sense.[/quote]

Germophobe riding a bus. That's the underlying story. [/quote]
