That's My Leg You're Crushing

I actually thought the ride to the mall on the bus was going to be pleasant.  I get to the stop on time, early even, which never happens.  My bus is right on time and pulls up right in front of me.  I politely let all the people exiting the bus get off before I try and get on, even though most people just muscle their way on.  After getting on and paying I notice that a rather attractive man is sitting right in the first set of seat that line the wall.  He is in seat #3 so I sit down in seat #1, give a little smile to him, sharing the mutual relief that a "normal" person has taken the seat near them.  Now we are getting ready to go and, no lie, the biggest man I have ever seen gets on the bus.  Huffing and puffing away, struggling to get on the bus even though its a bus that lowers and there are no stairs to climb.  So this hulk gets on, pays and just begins to sit down.  On me. 

Yeah I wanted to let that sink in.  This douche just sits down like there is no one there.  As I said I was in the three seats at the front so I believe he was aiming for seat #2, that was in between the attractive guy and me.  This guy literally sits on my leg.  Full on.  I had to squeeze myself out from under his massive bulk.  the best part was, not even a smidgen of acknowledgement from this guy.  You just sat on a person, in public, that you don't know.  I think an "Excuse Me" would be in order.  I managed to squeeze out the side and was teetering on the edge of my seat.  Muttering to myself about rudeness and shooting him dirty looks.  I think I managed to fit about 3 inches of my own substantial ass on to the seat for the thankfully short ride. 

These things make me think though.  Why would you not even say sorry to a person that you sat on.  What could the reasoning behind this be.  I bet he was embarrassed and just pretended he didn't notice.  That is what most people do nowadays, pretend they don't notice.  Now I did not want to start a big thing and cause a scene because then I am the spectacle.  No I just sit there with a huge guy sitting on my leg.  The attractive guy had it right, he got up and took the only other open seat.

Oh well, there better be nice shoes at the mall.
