To think that men on the bus can sit with their legs together?

[Kayte198999]

Is it an anatomical impossibility that I'm not aware of? Is it really that uncomfortable for them?

I'm fed up of men taking up 1.5 seats so the second person has to have one bum cheek off the chair to avoid touching them (or their leg in the aisle if they are also a man). Two women sitting next to each other will generally make themselves as narrow as possible so they can both get their bum on the chair.

I have just sat next to a man who moved his knee in when I sat down but almost instantly moved it back out again so our bare legs were completely touching. I know touching another human is not the end of the world and the seats aren't very big, but surely we would all like to not rub skin with strangers for half an hour. Also, it's kind of the principle of it as nearly all women just don't spread their legs in this situation.

AIBU to think it wouldn't hurt them to sit with thighs together for 30-40 min, and WIBU to ask them to put their legs together so we can both fit? (how could I word this?)

YANBU

Manspreaders are the worst. And the worst thing is it becomes a vicious cycle. He spreads so you shift away to avoid touching, so he spreads more, so you shrink away more, so he spreads more… until you’re basically sitting on the armrest.

Sit however clock you like so long as you're not encroaching on my space

YANBU fuckers 🤬😤

There is obviously a problem with giant balls and it's getting worse, the younger generation have to put their hands down their trousers to physically hold them up they've grown so large!

Seconded

nah, so small they have to rummage to find them and make sure they don't fall off.😉

I get irate with people who look at you as if you've asked them to eat their own head when asked to move their bag from the seat next to them!!

This. I’m a man and try and keep myself to myself, but the amount of women doing similar isn’t exactly small.

Sitting like you’re exhibiting your balls or your snatch is equally ghastly.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I work in a custody block - no one gets to speak to me while their hands are down their pants!!

I have occasionally asked people 'please could you move your leg a bit?' but it depends how arsey they look like they might get.

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

I completely agree! Funnily enough they don't tend to be as keen to press their knees against other men's knees. Clearly somehow their balls change size depending on who is sat next to them.

I think I spy a fashion niche: commuting trousers with a discreet line of spikes down the outer seam.

Sit down and throw your arms wide. My boobs are without doubt bigger than their bollocks, so why should I inconvenience myself by having my arms nestled near them when they could be flailing at 180°?

Clearly having an arm across their chops is likely to be uncomfortable for them, but so is having a knee in my leg space.

I have found if I jiggle my legs it annoys them into moving over.

IT doesn't help either than they now put their "man bags" between their legs too

I stood behind a man in a queue recently and he had his hand firmly down the front of his trousers, hand cupped over his genitals and there said hand remained for 20 minutes. He had his partner with him and she seemed completely normal. I couldn't understand why she hadn't told him to fucking stop it. Maybe I should have just stood there cupping one tit.

Can they though? I can't, there's so little leg room on bus seats, I have to jam one knee against the window and the other in the dip between the seats in front iyswim. Or sit diagonally which also takes up two seats. It's physically impossible for me to get my legs in on some buses.

Manspreading needs a public awareness campaign doesn't it?

Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣😘
