Swimming classes, I don't know how but this bloke always ends up sat next to me.

My stomach drops every time he comes in.

He spreads himself out as much as possible, arms using his phone, and obviously legs together at ankles and knees as wide as they'll go.

I've got no room to move over, I hate it.

What do you do with manspreaders?

Yumyumpigs those are phenomenal. Shame I couldn’t get the link to work, I’d def buy a variety of these for family presents!

I think the best ones are the melted ice cream inna cup. So sticky yukky. Fab!

DS suggests you shout, " You've sat down on my imaginary friend, again. "
That might shift him.

Lick his arm. He’ll never sit next to you again.

DD actually did this once on a train. We were taking her and a friend out and the friend was beside me with DD opposite. Bloke sat down spread out and was squashing my little 7 year old so she leaned over and licked his arrm. He was horrified and demanded I tell her to stop. I laughed and suggested he keep to his own seat. He moved.

I also find looking right at them, smiling and then rubbing your leg slowly against them works too. Totally freaks them out.

When my DP manspreads on the train or at the cinema I put one of my legs over his - could you try that?!
