    Do they have another one for armrest hoggers? – really annoying when you’re sitting beside them.

    1. andyourpointiswhatexactly

      My trick for that is to jam your elbow in where the seat joins the beginning of the armrest. Then start shoving your elbow forwards, looking insouciant. It mostly works.

    I don’t know why parents don’t teach healthy young men and women not to take up all the f**king seats on public transport. If you are fit and healthy and between the ages 10 to 50, stand the f**k up and leave the seats for people who need them.

    Note that in the english translation it says “neighbours” – It is in fact “female neighbours” which is intended here. Another great feminist plot.

    So, promoting an unhealthy practice of keeping ones balls “cooked” is now seen as a good thing. Wouldn’t even be an issue if it were women that required sitting with their legs apart.

    I admit, some men don’t need to sit so spread eagled but some spread of the legs is a natural and healthy requirement, even womens’ health publications say so, look it up. In the meantime, here are a few links to more….

    The basics, a man’s balls are meant to be kept at a cooler temp than the rest of the body

    Crossing ones legs reduces sperm and can affect fertility

    Men, if told to cross your legs to make room, you can always just say…. ‘Sorry, but no I cannot do that as I am going home to my partner to make babies’

    Muwaahahahahahaha!

    *sits with legs akimbo*

      Akimbo is fine. So akimbo that you are taking up half of the next seat isn’t. Though I don’t get why the people sat there don’t just jam their knee into the guys. They do give up after a while.

      Apologies on behalf of the rest of the human race that you have to compromise for about 15 minutes in your day, in order to assure the equal comfort of your co-travelling neighbour.

    Visual pollution? Charming.

    As Gerry Adams channeling Maya Angelou would say

    Does my sexiness upset you?
    Does it come as a surprise
    That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
    At the meeting of my thighs?

    1. Clampers Outside!

      Can we say the same about cleavage? …and spandex on those that just really shouldn’t?

      ….oh but, now I’m being sexist……

      Swings and roundabouts ladies.

      “Visual Pollution” pfft, they can go and fupp off !

      1. Don Pidgeoni

        How is it sexist? Man cleavage is a thing and both genders can where spandex and look, unfortunate.

    2. Alfred E. Neumann

      Does the way I sit surprise you?
      Does it come as a surprise
      That I’ve fine Murano goolies
      Of quite enormous size?

    Women also pay for one bus/tram/rail/tube ticket, entitling them the use of just one seat. Yet many frequently seem happy to plonk their oversized Mary Poppins handbags and numerous shopping bags onto other seats, rather than the floor, and then pretend not to see you looking for a spare seat. Inconsiderate much!

    1. andyourpointiswhatexactly

      What you do to those people is barge up to their seat, even if there are others free, and say “SCUSE ME!” brightly, then sit yourself down and wriggle yer bum around til you’re NICE and comfy.

        1. ughtheseguys

          Yes that pisses me off too. To be fair though, I once had to resort to putting my tesco bag in between myself and a creeper who kept trying to touch me on the bus. I ended up moving and doing the awkward stand by the driver, feeling pretty guilty for any woman who may end up in my seat. In retrospect, he may have been trying to get me to move in order to get more delicious ball space.

    “Visual pollution”? Haha. Like we stare at men’s crotches.
    I agree with Clamps ; if the lads need air, give ’em air.

    1. Mikeyfex

      Reminds me of my old fellas favourite ‘dad saying’.

      – It’s nice out. I think I’ll leave it out.

  8. Matt

    As a lad it’s easier to deal with sitting beside someone doing this on the bus, all you do is make full thigh contact with them, it usually creeps ’em out enough to move their legs together.

    1. Don Pidgeoni

      Funny how some men are so against this but try and get rid of the “women eating on trains” one and they cry censorship. Maybe people just shouldn’t be jerks to other people?
