Man spreading on the bus *pic*

[CucumberCool]

I'm currently on the bus. It's busy. Had to ask this dick to move his bag so I could sit. He did, however didn't move his legs so I made room for myself and pushed his leg over a bit when I sat. He didn't move. He hasn't moved. I felt a bit ick with him touching me so have crossed my a leg a bit and am using my foot to keep his leg off me.....he pretending to be asleep, eyes tight closed.

I hope I've marked his trousers. He's not moved though...I'm pushing a bit and have a steadfastly got on my foot against him and the front of the bus.

I want to ask him really loud if he has something wrong with his testicles and that's why he is taking up so much space. 🙄

It really makes me angry.

Rant over.

Laughing at the outrage at OP taking a pic of the man's legs. You can hardly tell who he is!!

I hate this as well. Don't catch buses much but always seem to get one on a flight. I can't bear other people's legs touching me. And then there's the elbow encroachment on the armrests 😡

OP, you really have to woman up. Name it it and call it out.

"Excuse me - as I'm sure you know, you are encroaching on my space. It's making me very uncomfortable in every sense of the word. If it happens again I will speak to the stewards about your inappropriate actions - you appear to be trying to touch my leg with yours."

The… bus stewards?

OR "have you got swollen balls mate? Is that why you're spreading your legs into my personal space? Did some other woman need to kick you hard?"

That did cheer me up

hahahaha I'm a twat. I am projecting my own experience on planes.
In that case, the swollen balls question is my advice.

or just leave out the bus steward bit.

I would like bus stewards, nice glass of wine on the way home.

The… bus stewards?

I too am wonder what these are.

The bus driver's IME doesn't usually want to get involved in any disputes though might at a real push if it looks like might delay them driving off.

I personally think it's you that's being a bit of a dick here OP.

If that's the aisle next to you particularly as you could easily point your legs the other way but instead you've chosen pettiness and a race to the bottom with this man, well done.

hahahaha I'm a twat. I am projecting my own experience on planes.

x-post taht makes sense.

TBH even on trains with conductors and people sat in you reserved seats there is often a marked reluctance to get involved.

Nonsense. DH is 6'6" and is able to sit with his legs closed, he just does it tilted sideways and makes sure he has an aisle seat where possible.

Ah, we seem to have found the manspreader! ODFOD, @Francisca459 no-one wants your crotch on display or your legs in their space.

I didn't realize this was "Man hating net"....

I presume the middle is the line down at the very far left of the photo ...

Wow lots of people on here supporting creepy men

Good lord. Calling out entitled behaviour is not man hating!

The very worse. If you need the ultimate take-down of this twat here it is ! Andrew Tate for those that don't work out.

Artist's impression

I find coughing works to make people keep their distance

great artist impression. The guy could swing both his legs to the left, as I do (tall woman).

"STOP TOUCHING MY LEG " I think that would resolve the issue

Love it 😊 . A perfect representation for those struggling and saying the OP is just as bad?! Seriously 😳

Brilliant. You missed the bus steward though...

Also. I can't remember when I last got on a bus but it's not that hard to see where the middle is on the chairs in front.

Yes! Add the steward!

@Catnary can you illustrate all threads from now on please?

I was so tempted but humans are not my strong point as you can see!
