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 jeez, I am up in the night with a 3 year old with diarrhoea, I now have tears of laughter running down my cheeks, thanks for making a shitty situation much better 😂🐜

Better to have tears of laughter running down your face than shit running down your leg 😂😂. Hope your DC is on the mend

Why is everyone talking about a fly. It isn't that hard to understand surely. He came on the bus and said I was taking up too much room in the FLY space. I only had a small amount of Pringles and rice so thought he was saying I was too fat. When I shouted he went to the flight seat and then I feel bad about it all night. I honestly only had Pringles, rice and a few other essentials not like a suitcase amount“

Sorry my dear, I do try not to swear as a general rule, but I have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.

[monotonousmum]

The flight seat is clearly that seat at the front of the top deck where you can pretend you're driving/flying the bus.
Why all the confusion

Maybe the guy was Weird Al?

Nope, it makes no more sense than the original.

I can see I contributed (twice) to this thread at the time, although I have no memory.

4 and a half years on, I am still no wiser as to what a fly/flight seat on a bus is.

The mysteries of life....

This is a lovely thread

[Turtlerunner]

Flies..in ..SPAAAAAAaaaaaace!

[Cyberattack]

I love this thread. I remember it the first time round. Still have the odd chuckle when it comes to mind. No idea what it is about!!

[Booklover3]

@IroningBoardz you’re the OP aren’t you?

What’s with all these zombie threads this evening!

[whoopy1]

@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 ride a bus and I did not know that was what they were called, so everyone who rides a bus does not know! I also haven’t really got a clue what you are going on about, sorry.

[AliveAndSleeping]

Omg please people stop. I'm trying to breastfeed Ds and he keeps coming off because I'm laughing so hard. He's looking at me very angrily now as in mummy what's wrong with you? Or maybe he's upset too that someone sat in the fly space / seat..whatever that is.

[me4real]

Original Pringles are the original and best.

[AliveAndSleeping]

Pringles are overrated. Cashew nuts covered in chocolate are the best.

[SecretKeeper1]

Ha, this was a corker at the time and still is… thanks for resurrecting, should be in classics

@MrsJamesMathews

My earlier comment still stands what the merry fuck are you on about?!

No one knows what a fly space is.

No one knows what a flight seat is.

No one understands why you would think he was calling you fat.

We all think you WBU for shouting at him.

we all think you're on crack

Brilliant

No we don't! What country are you in? Are you telling us that your shopping was on the seat and you refused to move it and let someone sit down?

[percythewitch]

@Bogeyes

It is very unlikely that the OP will come back to answer you seeing as this thread is from 2017

[Midlifemusings]

My interpretation:

Fly space - the space where flies might collect in between the window and the seat up against the window. Usually a narrow metal strip or small gap there so I am guessing it means he crushed himself up against the window in the space normally kept for dead flies.

Flight seat. One of the extra seats that you have to fold down to use - usually up near the front of the bus.

[ImmyMc]

I've never heard of either a fly space or a flight seat, and I have used buses all my life!

[Hawkins001]

Fly ?

[HirplesWithHaggis]

Oh come on, ZOMBIE AGAIN? Thought it was Christ that got resurrected, not a bus thread. 🙄
