I live somewhere where everytime I take a bus there is someone sitting on the outside seat of two. On the trains, a seat of two there is a bag or a coat. On the train a seat of four there’s a bag, a coat, feet or something else occupying the other seats. In a cafe the same…

So, one day I boarded a bus which was half full but no available seat without asking someone to move. So I picked the biggest guy then gave him a peace of my mind and directed the conversation to all in ear shot.

What happened, he ended up vacating the seat and like a preschooler wanted to know why him and not everybody else.

Ticket inspectors, cafe workers never say a word.

    its selfish, but its the world today. people are indifferent to strangers.

    all you can do is not be one of them, and be polite. be the change you want to see.

    passive-aggressively talking about the bad behavior is not a mature solution.

      It’s selfish if they refuse to open up the seat if you ask.

      Otherwise it’s just using free and open space for convenience until it’s needed.
