AIBU?

AIBU about the man on the bus?

He said I don't think you should sit there. I said said excuse me what are you on about? He said the bags are massive and take up the fly space.

Well that was it. I was so angry, it wasn't a big amount. How dare he say that to me. I shouted at him that he had really offended me and it backed off and sat in the flight seat.

Now I'm thinking about it I don't know AIBU?

You're either an idiot, or on the wind up. My money is on the latter.

@IroningBoardz

This thread is so funny. 🤣

@IroningBoardzWHY, JUST WHY have you dredged up a thread from 2017 just to say this? You could have read it and been entertained in your head without resurrecting it.

Cue loads of replies from people who won't read anything other than the opening post.

PooWillyNameChange · 03/12/2021 15:29

Thanks IroningBoardz this one was new to me. I wonder if it was an Airbus.

Why the actual fuck did you resurrect this thread?

The fly seat

MorganKitten · 04/10/2020 18:11

@HelenaWay

these aren't common terms, no one knows where you mean!

Well actually they are common terms. The fly space is clearly the space between the Window and passenger. Everyone who rides a bus knows that.

I get the bus every day and don’t know what you’re talking about.

Mariola321 · 04/10/2020 15:03

Why you say he zombie. I think man right and women crazy.

I thought it was floor space (typo) but the airline style seat is normally on a plane or a train but not a bus? OP have you changed the mode of transport so you can't be identified?

Shxx · 04/10/2020 03:34

Don't understand this

Mariola321 · 04/10/2020 03:10

You mean plane or bus?

yetanothernamitynamechange · 04/10/2020 02:27

Zombie thread - I actually started reading this and was going to comment that he shouldnt have been sitting next to you anyway and then realised the OP was posting from the BEFORE times.

nothingcanhurtmewithmyeyesshut · 04/10/2020 01:23

Um, no OP. We didn't have a car until I was 19, I've taken buses all my life and no one has ever referred to a fly space. Pretty sure there is no such thing. Its a window sill.

And given that buses don't fly, I can't see it having a flight seat either...

BTW yabu.

Maybe your bags were in the way? There was no reason to have a go..

I hate a wasps on the bus

RiversrunWoodville · 17/05/2017 19:12

weather I can assure you if you think my post was bullying rather than humour you have the problem rather than me but feel free to report whatever you took the wrong way, no biggie

HappyFlappy · 15/05/2017 21:57

I think people were mainly taking the piss out of the post rather than the poster

I agree - but in retrospect I can see that the flurry of jokes and comments (to which I also contributed) that followed the OPs posts was unkind, even though I honestly don't think they were intended to be - it was just that many very witty people began to enjoy themselves (and entertain the rest of us) and TBH I think the OP got pretty much forgotten.

Must have been very frustrating forOP. (but she was being U)

If I were a detective, I would suspect an old time MN member that's changed her name, & was having fun with you all, my instincts tell me the perpetrator is a Portsmouth resident. By the way, the flight seat is the one that flies up when you stand up.

wannabestressfree · 15/05/2017 19:11

Look at her history and then the thread. I just think people could have been a bit kinder.

winglesspegasus · 15/05/2017 19:08
