Why do certain types feel the need to invade my seating space on my rail commute? I'm 6ft 2 and can keep within my own seating boundaries - why does 5ft 4 Freddie need to spread his legs so wide that we are now in some weird knee hug thing? Why does my arm need to go numb because of the pressure being applied by his incursion? Am I the only one who avoids this kind of contact? Are these guys packing serious spuds and so have to spread for medical reasons? What is the best way of countering these Alpha male antics?

buy a car or a bike or both or get a bus or move seats. Pick one & shut up moaning, tis the price you pay for travelling with the great unwashed. 😀

Is 6ft2 your height but 5ft4 their width?

This is why I sit by the aisle at least then I can make some more space for me even if I only have one cheek on the seat .

I find opening a beer and then farting usually gets me space. True story.
