bah humbug

this guy gets on the subway yesterday.  there's a single seat open between two women.  as he goes to sit, he murmurs "excuse me" - excellent subway etiquette.  the woman to his right says "What?!"  so he clarifies: "i'd like to sit here".  then he gestures toward the seat.  also fine.

she says "I'M not sitting there.  that seat is OPEN!"

she then proceeds to chew him out for politely giving her notice that his ass was going to be in close contact to hers.

guy looks over at me.  i try to do the sympathetic eye thing without the woman noticing.  he looks mortified.  everyone on the train suddenly has other things to look at.  and the woman sat back, andget this - she looked satusfied!  like she'd put him in his place!

ooh, smack chart.  btw, way to be oversensitive about the size of her saddlebags...
