I don't want to hear that you take up two seats because you are claustrophobic. You take up two seats because you are rude.
By taking two seats when you paid for one, you are stealing. Oh yeah, I forgot, you're "claustrophobic." So if you're lactose intolerant, you get to take two cartons of almond milk for the price of one? No, that would be stealing. Just like you're stealing when you take up two seats after paying for one.
You're just rude. Embrace it. Admit it. Then change it.
Thank you.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
That woman has actually taken up three seats so she is FLAMING rude! Wish she'd got a ticket.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had the same thought as Zippi--THREE seats. To be honest, I never thought about transit fare as paying for a seat, but I will from now on. And I'll probably say something to people like this, because I also can be quite rude. ;-)
ReplyDeleteEntitlement like that drives me nuts!
ReplyDeleteUgh. Same here.
