It has happened more times than I can count. The doors slide open on a train car full of half-occupied pairs of seats. As the newcomer enters, we all set our features to maximum stoniness, flick the dimmer switch behind our eyes. New Guy picks his way awkwardly down the aisle. He is praying for an empty row to suddenly materialize, a resentment-free zone rich in the traveler’s most treasured resource: space. No luck. He comes closer, closer. Here he is. Here is his stupid bag being stowed against my feet. Here is his stupid arm on the armrest. Here is his stupid aftershave in my nostrils and his stupid music leaking out of his barely-muffling headphones two centimeters from my ear.
New Guy, why do you always sit next to me?

She only wants HOT guys sitting next to her.
Now other women gravitate to these women as well so the men have to move fast to grab a seat with one. Otherwise they are usually stuck with a slob of another male.
Last week, I had another man share my three-seater and he proceeded to eat popcorn the entire trip. By the end of the trip, he lifted the bag up to his mouth to suck in all the popcorn remnants and he had corn kernels falling down his shirt and onto the floor.
She can always covert and move to Saudi Arabia. Won’t have that problem there.
That belly really payed off for the actor who played Randy.
“First world bitching. In Tokyo she’d be standing in a car packed like sardines.”
With dudes groping her. Or at least this used to be the rep of the Tokyo subway. Hidden cameras in their (dudes) spit shined shoes etc...
Japan and Holland have been pron superpowers for a long time.
In public it’s best to avoid women. Too hysterical, too much liability, too many hate men, or subscribe to extreme leftist dogma, and many seem to have serious head issues. It’s most unfortunate.
Lol. Women don’t like me and it’s their fault.
All she needs to do is put on about 250 pounds and quit bathing. Problem solved.
My husband always tries to sit next to me, too. Mostly to prevent a fracas. Because if you grope me, I will stab you.
I don’t. I will request to have either my seat changed or theirs. Same with kids.
Was he eating Carmel or Cheese popcorn?
Either one of those can quickly lead to
rapid fire, involuntary farting, or so I’ve been told.
I think Japan counts as First world.
That being said, in Tokyo, very polite white gloved men would be gently pushing commuters into the car so the doors could close, then she'd probably end up standing next to a seated man reading a porn manga book, while getting jostled in the crowd, jostled by a random hand, owner unknown, on her butt.
Very true. I should have probably said India.
Come on, man!!!!
Not next to a black woman. Too freakin loud.
Just one more thing. It has nothing to do with like or dislike as it does common sense. “In public”, generally means you’re at a venue where you don’t know those around you. Strangers.
Nowadays it’s probably best not to entertain, get close to, or be misinterpreted by complete strangers.
But if you feel compelled to do that with those in public, have at it. ☺
And often no available room on a three across seat because of a three across seat...
The conductors don't pay them no mind. The conductors want to keep their jobs. But if a white person was that obnoxious, they'd get shut down real quick.
I think dennisw and I would both find that a better(?) choice of referenced countries...
