Aw, bless.
This wasn’t so much traumatic for me as for the poor twat who thought he would vent his bad day on me.

To set the scene I am not a small person. Ok, at 5’ 6” I’m not that big. But add to that the 16 stone frame and you’ll get some idea. It’s not all fat as I was a heavyweight gym rat for a while, anyway you know what I mean. Add to that the fact I was wearing a rather thick leather levi style jacket and as you can guess I was taking up about one and a half seats.

Normally, if it’s crowded on the metro I will squeeze myself in as much as I can so the seat sharers can fit. On the day in question this was not the case. There were shedloads of empty seats. On gets a fellow fat bastard and he sits next to me. There were empty double and even quadruple seats. Did he sit in one of those? Fuck no. Next to me.

I continued reading and listening to my walkman (yes it was a while ago) while he squirmed and wriggled and became increasingly agitated. I had guessed his intention of making some sort of scene or starting an altercation and the following exchange took place.

Me: Is there some sort of problem?
Him: Yeah, you’re taking up too much room.
Me: There are loads of empty seats, why don’t you use one of them?
Him: I’m not moving why don’t you move?
(I was in the window seat FFS)
Me: Well to be honest I don’t want to. You are the one cuddling in ……. But honestly I don’t mind, get as close as you want. (with my best seductive smile).

He moved pretty sharpish and I relaxed and enjoyed the rest of the trip home.

Length? About 35 minutes on a good day.

Yay
For standing up to the people who are stupid and angry for no reason.

Applause for you.
