AIBU about the man on the bus?

[HelenaWay]

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?

What on earth have I just read?!

tea that sounds good actually

i dont think i can ever go on a bus again without giggling

What a funny thread - 12 pages and still none the wiser.

Q: what do you call a fly without wings?
A: a walk.

I think a child must be posting from OP's account or something.

This isn't her usual way of posting is it?

Maybe the OP misspelled flight seat and it's actually FIGHT seat. You know, the one you get relegated to when you try and pick a fight with someone taking up the fly space??

Gabs give it a go! Maybe a popadom alternative?

As an honorary Bear, my favourite is now the Roast Chicken and Herbs, though the Christmas Pigs in Blankets one is a close second.

Thank you Rusty - I'll bear (excuse excruciating pun) that in mind when I do my PhD on the topic.

It most definitely is warm enough for flies, already

How do you vote to get a thread in classics?

Yes *Anna8

We have one in the kitchen now. The cat is trying to slaughter it, but keeps catching it and then peeping under his paw allowing the little basted to escape again.

The OP is recovering from a crushing hangover but normal service will be resumed shortly.

OP I'm sad that you haven't come back since last night, I genuinely am. We still don't know what flavour the Pringles were and whether the rice was basmati or wholegrain. Might I suggest a fly carrier to avoid altercations on future journeys. It's much like a baby carrier though I can't seem to find them on the BabyBjorn website. Just another thought...did you buy the Pringles and the rice for fly lead weaning?

Prawn cocktail Pringles Punk ?
Thoroughly enjoying this thread
Bravo OP
Bravo !!!

I don't like Pringles

I know what flavour the Pringles were. 'Screamin' Dill Pickle'!

They appeared around Passover. They are kosher and totally disgusting.

Prawn Cocktail are for the weak...

It's all about Texas BBQ. In Japan (I think) you can get Eggs Benedict flavour; it apparently tastes like someone has farted in your mouth!

I have just read this thread on the bus.

Upon alighting, I asked the driver about the "fly space". We had some back and forth as he thought he had misheard. I've just been advised not to drink my breakfast in future.

Thanks, OP, thanks very much. I take the bus all the time and now the driver thinks I'm an alcoholic. Nice going. I hope you and your Pringle refuse are very happy with yourselves this morning

Why did the man need the fly space? Was he Jeff Goldblum? That's the only way this makes any sense.

Seriously guys how can you not know the fly seat it's pretty obvious it's this one at the front!

I've never actually shouted at a stranger on a bus or anywhere else OP.
Are you a bit of an act first think later type of person? It makes you sound a bit scarey.

I just googled 'fly seat on a bus'

How lovely to see OP aka Sharon aka Rospetel back with us once more

Did you have a hamwidge or two in the fly space as well as the Pringles and rice, OP?

MNHQ - THIS THREAD MUST NOT BE DELETED. OP IS A MN FOLK-HERO WHO HAS FINALLY RETURNED TO US!

Don't do that Annah I have been pulled into the twighlight zone of never ending mad fly bus lady thread.
