Currently on a bus and can hardly squeeze on to the seat because of the guy next to me spreading his legs. He is literally making no effort to give me even an inch of roomS. So annoying! I hate confrontation but I find it so rude! Why do people do this?!

@SirChenjins

This does my nut in.

Either do the same back or say ‘you’re encroaching into my space, I need you to move over’

I did the same to a man opposite me on the train who was stretching out his legs into my area @CrotchetyQuaver - he huffed and puffed and tried to catch my eye so he could have a word no doubt, but I held my book up and refused to look at him. There was smoke coming out of his ears, it was brilliant.

@EthelTheAardvark

Friend of mine used to tell man spreaders that she was a doctor, and they urgently needed medical attention because if their balls needed that much space there was something seriously wrong.
