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?

Oh look, I think the Pringles tube designers have forgotten what a prawn cocktail glass looks like. Or they think that a Prawn Cocktail is a martini glass with Prawn Cocktail flavoured Pringles and an umbrella in it

HoneyDragon I think I love you.

Is there no end to progress in the snack industry?!

Blueberry white tea... it went well with the Tiramisu and Raspberry Cheescake KitKats. Are we any nearer to finding out what a fight seat is?

Tiramisu and Raspberry Cheescake KitKats.

Is it just me who's thinking....classics thread nomination?

It's just you.

Not just you Coffee

For the "Fly on the Bus" song alone . . . (yes - still going round and round in my head)!, not to mention the classic line "exit, pursued by fly".

There are too many to quote - pmsl!

My favourite bit of the thread is still page 3

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.

*Why is everyone talking about flies!

Love this thread 😂😂😂

Aaaaand... I've RTFT. This is brilliant! Wasabi Pringles...

Has the OP come back?

My two pence from reading this, I took flight seat to be the single seat facing into the gangway behind the driver, further thinking the fly space may be the bit where you're not supposed to stand forward but where inspectors and such often hang round speaking to driver. ?

Buxton where do you live? I need to move there. The most exotic kitkats we have eound these ways is Orange!

I was confident that the flight seat is the fold down one like cabin crew use on planes... I have since remembered that that is called a jump seat. I'm now even more confused, if that is possible!

Absolute gold

This is brilliant. But I'm upset OP hasn't come back!

A fly/flight seat? You have flying buses round your way?

Maybe he thought the bags in the fly space were yours? You totally overreacted though!
