I live somewhere where everytime I take a bus there is someone sitting on the outside seat of two. On the trains, a seat of two there is a bag or a coat. On the train a seat of four there’s a bag, a coat, feet or something else occupying the other seats. In a cafe the same…

So, one day I boarded a bus which was half full but no available seat without asking someone to move. So I picked the biggest guy then gave him a peace of my mind and directed the conversation to all in ear shot.

What happened, he ended up vacating the seat and like a preschooler wanted to know why him and not everybody else.

Ticket inspectors, cafe workers never say a word.

Your thoughts?

    Firstly, thanks to everyone who’s contributed so far I appreciate it. I would say there seems to be some mistaken assumptions and no questions.

    Piece of mind doesn’t translate to me as screaming match. I just used my words but It is natural to be upset when challenged. I didn’t raise my voice he did. I said within earshot not the whole bus.

    If you think it relates, I suffer from an invisible degenerative disease.

    Stare at them and mumbling is not my preferred means of conversation but my illness presents sometimes that this is the only way I can communicate.
