I just don’t fucking understand why people are so damn ignorant when it comes to riding public transportation!! The other day I was riding BART…I found an empty seat and moved to the inside so the next person would have easy access to a seat. So this woman comes on the train dragging four shopping bags and sits next to me in the aisle seat. All’s good, I’m reading my book and she’s sleeping. When we approach my stop I notice she’s still sleeping. Not one to fuck around I gently tap her on the shoulder, and when she opens her eye I say this is my stop. Then she starts getting huffy puffy and giving me this look of “HOW DARE YOU DISTURB MY VERY NECESSARY BEAUTY SLEEP. DO YOU THINK I LOOK LIKE THIS BY ONLY EATING HO HOS, DRINKING JACK, AND SMOKING?”. At this point I’m standing in the foot space of my seat waiting for her to move her punk ass. But NO, she has to complicate things further by not moving her WHOLE fucking body, but only her big ass legs. Mind you there’s a goddamned arm rest on the seat so she has to bend her legs around the arm rest (as opposed to being able to move her legs to touch the seatback), which eats up about another six inches. So now I’m left with about 9 inches to squeeze myself through, with a bookbag and a grocery bag. ARE YOU A FUCKING MORON!!! Strike that, obviously she’s a fucking moron. But she’s not alone. This is about the tenth time this has happened to me on BART and/or MUNI. My temporary solution= pretend they’re not there and drag my bags over them. See, when I first sat down I had the foot space AND the seating space to manuever. I was able to swing my ass and bags all over the place, I didn’t have to hold my bags over my head and shimmy through. Every fucking time I sit in the aisle seat and someone on the inside is getting off (the train), I grab my stuff, stand up, move to the side and let them exit. It takes only 5 goddamn seconds. What, do you think someone’s going to steal your seat? Very doubtful. I even do this on a crowded bus. As stated, the above solution is temporary… effective, but temporary. You should see some of the looks I get after dragging my shit over someone. How gratifying!! The new solution is to print out a small message (in English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Russian) telling them what a fucking moron they are for just moving there lazy ass legs to the side. I’ll even show a diagram, with dimensions, of how much room one has when only the legs are moved, as opposed to the whole body. Or I could go for something more drastic…“Kill 'em all! Let God sort 'em out!”
Not enough name-calling and cursing, though the anger is apparent. Next time, a good two line name calling spree would raise your score a fulpoint.
good luck 
I was entering a crowded movie theater a few years back and I was entering the aisle to get to a seat. One asshole in the row would not get up but did the same as described in the OP, he shifted his legs to the side. Well, in attempting to squeeze through, I tripped on his foot and in catching my fall I knocked over his giant size $5 Coke. Then he decided to stand up… and yell at me for spilling his soda. I told him he could fuck off and no, I wasn’t buying him a soda because if he had been courteous enough to stand when I came through the aisle, I wouldn’t have tripped and spilt the soda. What a fucker. And believe me I told him so. I also got cheers from others around me. He bought his own fucking refill.
Nice. This bit was outstanding 
Made me spray my drink all over my monitor, I’m still smiling now. 9 out of 10.
I have a similar rant about people in subways (in my case, NY subways). During rush hour, people crowd into the subways. There is always some fuckhead who is standing by the pole right next to the doors (usually with a huge duffel bag), who does not move. So people crowding into the subway have to cram into the space between the two doors. So this fuckhead gets bumped around, and people squeeze by him to get to the ample grazing grounds in the center of the car, and he starts getting pissed. But he STILL DOES NOT MOVE. No, that would be too intelligent. That would be too considerate of other people. All he has to do is move a couple of steps towards the center of the car. And I, who had managed to squeeze past him (with an added shove or two), stand there SEETHING at how stupid he is not to be moving. There are people who can’t even get on the train because of shithead cocksuckers like this! And don’t try to tell me that trains come all the time, so don’t complain if you miss one. In the summer, these stations are HOT (not AC like in DC), and trains don’t come all that frequently.
<phew> That was a long time coming…
Thanks for bringing up the subject!

I also forgot to mention that these pieces of shit subway blockers usually have these really stupid looks on their faces. Like bleating sheep, only dumber. Much much dumber. Gosh, it’s amazing how dumb people can look sometimes
The worst, for me, is when you miss your stop because you couldn’t fight your way through all the dumbasses and reach the door in time. I’ve taken to simply plowing through any people that are between me and the exit.
This tactic proves especially useful now that colleges are back in session and the population of my section of Boston has tripled overnight. They seem to travel in packs, hovering by the door, just waiting to express their anger at all who dare to try and cross the threshold.
That being said, I remember being one of these students. And I remember thinking how rude people were for pushing by me like that. Has it really been so long? Dammit, that’s the third thing that’s made me feel old today.
Hey Stylus,
How 'bout the Einsteins that never seem to grasp the concept of waiting in line to board Bart. There could be 15 polite souls waiting very patiently to board and these numbnuts will just walk up to the front just as the doors open and cut in.
I always manage to accidently bash into them should they and I meet at the doorway.
“Oops, sorry, didn’t see you cutting in there! (jerk)”
Usually, if I experience this particular brand of asshole on the bus, I make absolutely certain that I give them a faceful of ass while trying to wedge my way out of the seat. I also try to hit them with my backpack at least once.
When I’m on the aisle seat, I ALWAYS stand up to let people by. It’s the courteous thing to do.
I live in a city that doesn’t even have a decent taxi cab, but if I had the problem you had, and some slob wouldn’t move so I could get out, as I squeezed by, I cut a BIG fart right in their face. (Preferably a silent but violent one so they didn’t know where it came from.) Oh and as you squeeze by, in addition to the fart, hand them a Twinky. :D:D
In all seriousness though, some people really need to go back to school and learn some manners. People like that idiot deserve to be stepped on at the very least.
