very simple

So, after writing that entry the other night about travel pet peeves, here I am sitting on the bus next to my biggest one, which I totally forgot to mention. (I’m writing this on my blackberry by the way, which I know is everyone elses peeve, but I don’t care, I’ll just be a hypocrite).

Anyway, here in new york, there are a varity of seating options on the bus. There are the single and double seats that face forward, and then there are the three-across seats that are sideways (these can flip up for wheelchairs). I detest these guys (and its always guys) that sit smack in the middle of the three-across bench and manage to take up all three seats with their sprawlingness. I can understand taking up two – you sit on one of the "ends" and put your bag in the middle seat, easily removable if someone needs the seat. But this guy’s practically got his feet up. It’s not like it’s that crowded, so it’s not like I don’t have a seat, but still. It just bugs.

And to top it off, the guy tonight is also on his third cellphone call. Argh.
