Bus Seat A-Hole

I got on the bus during the Easter break and sat down near the back. Only to find the person on the window seat was sitting at a 45 degree angle. I tapped his legs and asked him to move them and he said he couldn't fit as he's too tall.

The guy looked no taller then me and was slouching so I said just sit up. He then made a shitty effort and didn't move at all. I remarked that it was a shitty effort on his behalf and he just said "get over it" "oh and happy Easter."

So now I'm the bad guy? and a cranky Easter Scrooge for wanting to sit on at least half the seat.

This was followed up by two groups of loud talkers (the couple that decide to commentate the movie to each over and don't even bother turning their heads to speak) behind me in the cinemas while watching 300. After telling the first group to shut the fuck up I lost all will power to tell the second group. Mostly out of fear of being called the Easter Scrooge again and the fact I had nothing to throw at them. I almost tossed Ervi's sandles but reisited.

I've had the same thing at work with Rob. We'd be in a meeting and he'd tap the chair or table with his foot. I'd ask him to stop, then 5 min later he does it again. I ask to stop. The third time I just get annoyed at him. Then I feel like a dickhead then I'm confused and embarresed for the rest of the day. Maybe its my tact (or lack of) or maybe I'm just overally sensative to shit like that.

So I guess the morel of my story is I should have come up with a good retort to his "oh and happy Easter" comment but I couldn't and that's what probably hurt the most :)
