This morning on the train, it was rather full, people were starting to fill up all the spare seats.
It seems to be that, of a 3 seater and a 2 seater opposite, the way a train will fill with passengers is like this.
- two seater seat with one person
- then the 3 seater with only one person,
- then the three seater with a second person but with space between
- second seat on 2 seater
- lastly the third seat (mostly in the middle) of the three seater.
This morning as the train starts to fill with people we are up to the second seat of the 2 seater being filled. Now always remember there is a way of getting around this or making the newcomers want to sit somewhere else. I like to call this technique 'looking fat' you sit in the middle of the seat, absolutely no eye contact.
This will work unless there are no other seats or you have run into one of those people that will insist in sitting in the seat they want.
Ok back to this morning, the train has filled to 2 seater having one person 2 seater having 2 and now the 2 seater will fill with people. One girl decides she is doing the 'looking fat' approach, now if you try this approach you really do need to be aware of what is going on and be read to forgo the said space if requested. Which is exactly what happened this morning. A lady asks to sit down, which means the bag, coffee thermos need to move off the spare seat giving the lady space to sit down. So of course if you move the bag and mug to the other side of yourself, you're really not making any more room your still taking up more than your space. So the lady says a second time can you move your bag I can't sit down.
I had to laugh at the look on the girls face, classic, one for the lady who didn't fall for the 'looking fat' and took her space.
