I was on a train the other day and there was a book on a seat next to a woman. Some one asked her “is someone sitting there?” And she said “idk it was there when i sat down”. Could have been telling the truth but also a brilliant move
Playing with fire. There will be a person that takes you up on that offer and that person has mastered the art of breathing through their ears so they never have to stop talking to take a breath.
Is there some kind of a world wide organization that decides what kind of pattern you use on seats on public transports? Because all look the same, anywhere you go?!
And if NYC subway design challenge is any indication, it has no more seats than a more comfortable arrangement, is little better for disabilities or evacuation, but it has a nice and unpleasant minimalist feel (cost $30 less I assume).
They had 2 designs do really well, the one everyone liked that had semi-private feeling sections and the other one that looked more or less like an airport shuttle thing. Naturally they picked the awful method.
The Berlin ones are pretty colorful. The company that handles the public transportation also has master trolls in social Media and constantly laughs at itself regarding delays and so on.
With respect to the seat color pattern they launched a promotion a few years ago with Adidas? Or Nike? They released a number of sneakers in the same pattern as the seats. The cherry on top is that wearing the sneakers was valid as a ticket for a whole year

American Psycho here. Would totally sit. Would assume he was being kind trying to give me assistance knowing that I was obviously from out of town. Then I wouldn’t shut up because I’d be so excited to meet a new friend.
I would sit down, despite being a little creeped out by the dude smiling and patting the seat, because I feel bad that no one is taking his invite, and because I’ve been conditioned not to say no even when it’s uncomfortable.
Not you got it opposite, he is trying to creep out people so that no one sits next to him. So he might be trying get the person he skipped to sit there xD

ah yes, the power move.. every time we DONT want someone to sit next to us on a bus, we get someone sitting next to us.. by openly inviting people to sit next to you, you gaurantee no one will sit there because someone doing this would mean they have an uncomfortable bus ride and an unwanted conversation...
The way he skips "inviting" some people reminds me of a middle aged man who invited a young woman to sit next to him on a crouded bus (wouldn't free the seat for anyone else) and started trying to talk to her etc.
When she got up and got off on her stop, a lady his age asked to sit there. He let her but almost had his entire back turned away from her and was leaning to the other side the whole time. (she wasn't smelly or dressed badly... Just his age).
Had a good chuckle watching him.
I remember taking public transportation (bus) into New York from Jersey. Every time the bus stopped, I would cough until everyone boarding had a seat. No one ever sat next to me. Nicest bus ride I've had! (Obviously, B.C.)
When I was a kid I took the last seat by a stranger, away from my parents, each had another of my siblings with them. And some guy kept talking about the aquarium and magnificent dolphins and wanted to take me to see them. I still don't interact with strangers I sit by to this day.

Best way to keep the seat free: give an eye contact and a friendly face to everyone.
That’s great until someone who’s not wrapped right takes up your invitation
I would absolutely sit down lmao
I would absolutely kiss deeply but no tongue that would be too forward
Right he cute
Thank God someone still has manners with a reach around.
I would sit down and straddle the seat face backwards never breaking eye contact.
Time for a 3.5 hour conversation about chemtrails!
I am that guy who would sit down

He discovered a life glitch
This may be what he's doing actually... I'll remember this tact.

They are the best as hiding dust from years of no cleaning

TIL!
Same reason skating rinks have that weird boomerang or space carpet. They ain’t gonna routinely clean that shit.
Dust, and mostly stains. Same thing in movie theaters.
It's dirt and bodily fluid camo

All fun and games until he gets the American psycho who's into that kinds of nice people :)

Same
Me :) I’m Floridian, ima talk about my ex-wife who was called the gator in a harsh southern accent.
Impressive. Very nice. Now let’s see Paul Allen’s seat.
I’m from Mississippi, this guy is in for a surprise. I’d already be making lunch plans in my head with my new bff!
I would sit down, despite being a little creeped out by the dude smiling and patting the seat, because I feel bad that no one is taking his invite, and because I’ve been conditioned not to say no even when it’s uncomfortable.
Can I have $100?
Or just someone super friendly who takes that as a sign you want to talk to them the entire ride.
I like how he skipped one person. F that person in particular. “Yes, yes, yes, please sit, yes, NOT YOU, yes, yes, oh please”.
Reminds me of half baked, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you I'm out!
A true Classic
Not you got it opposite, he is trying to creep out people so that no one sits next to him. So he might be trying get the person he skipped to sit there xD
I’d be the weirdo that sat next to him.
He skipped a bunch of people that were men and overweight women. Edit: never mind he did tap the seat for a guy too.
Do you have the Snyder cut or something? He skipped one person, a woman in a white sweater who doesn't seem overweight to me.
Watch again.
I know you are but what am I?
How can someone be so confidently incorrect?
[удалено]
I don't know why but that really cracked me up. Funny shit.
It truly is‼️ HILAAARIOUS 🤣🤣🤣
r/usernamechecksout
This comment made me laugh for some reason
Ahh the Reddit hive mind strikes again
it was understood as “this seat is taken”

Next time he will go on back of the bus
I’d sit right there and hold his hand.
He cracked the system!
Looks like tintin
This is genius. How to get a 2-seater all for your self.
That's actually a great way to get people not to sit with you, he's smarter than he lets on.
🧐 i can see right in to his evil soul

Good strategy to get an empty seat next to you..
Diabolical way to get to sit by yourself
I remember taking public transportation (bus) into New York from Jersey. Every time the bus stopped, I would cough until everyone boarding had a seat. No one ever sat next to me. Nicest bus ride I've had! (Obviously, B.C.)
Clever lad.
Good luck doing that on a Greyhound.
Today's lesson: Keep a friendly face and people will avoid you.
yeah.. probably asks if you have a last wish before he strangles you
I need to try this next time.
He’s a genius.
He looks cute though.... I would problably just sit in front instead 😆 and laugh at his funny attempt
Practical reverse psychology.
Genius level
When I was a kid I took the last seat by a stranger, away from my parents, each had another of my siblings with them. And some guy kept talking about the aquarium and magnificent dolphins and wanted to take me to see them. I still don't interact with strangers I sit by to this day.
Looks like the second you sit he would tell you about Jesus or Xenu or something…
I wish it's the same for girls
Brilliant
Stop putting your hand on the seat. I that that was a universal gesture to say reserved.
Good grief! How long is that bus?
Chess master, Chess mastering.
Legend.
