All joking aside though, if that was me, and I really wanted to sit down, I would move the bags myself. Whilst calling the selfish bastard who had refused to move them in the first place some choice 4letter words :)

Really? cuz they didn't.

Pow pow she's back!

Hi there Wombai :xyxwave:

so do I but the cars at the garage!

I'd ask what if her cars in the garage and there's no one to giuve her a lift but but you're just avoiding answering the question!

Oops, I didn't spot that :blush:

I would of bloody well made sure you moved them - and if necessary got the guard! You pay for the extra seat - or you move your bloody bags!

Because I'd find someone to give her a lift, and theres a long line of people plus the option of a taxi before getting to public transport :)

Just a quick nose - didn't plan to post - but the ignorance on this thread made it extremely difficult not to!

And what about the small matter of vandalism to other people's personal possessions?

For the record - I also agree with you and others that the person in question should've also given up their seat, and I would happily [well, not happily, as I'd rather have no one sat next to me - but without any fuss] move my bags to let someone sit down.

haha she's back!

And I was right avoiding the question! :rolleyes: lame

I asked you how you would feel if someone refused to move a bag to let your pregnant gf sit down (when she's 7 months pregnant) and you're making excuses not to answer the question, she drives, she get a lift, taxi ......

If they have had the option to remove their belongings and refused to do so and cannot produce a legitimate ticket for the extra seat - in legal terms they have not a leg to stand on since the seat was not paid for by them and their belongings had no right to be there when a paying passenger, ie.ME had purchased it. The few times I have resorted to self help by lowering myself into the seat, the belongings have been whipped away in record time:D

Well they didn't so ha! and its not like they didn't see. so if they had wanted to make me move them, they could have.

You wait until you get pregnant, if you ever do with an attitude like that - you will soon change your tune! Karma will get you!

Of course - but you'd still have vandalised their possessions, and two wrongs don't make a right, do they?

And what would you do, for example, if there were two suitcases on top of each other on the seat? How would you sit down then?

Yeah, and I think the majority of people are decent enough to do the same, but there's always a few ignoramuses!

Or not.

I wouldn't give a toss about "vandalising" their possessions - if I paid for a seat I would take it and certainly wouldn't be agonising over it. As regards the hypothetical suitcases, I would simply remove them then sit down as they have no business being on a seat I have paid for. I have had to do this on one occasion and was totally impervious to the abuse of the moron who had placed them there. THEY were in the wrong, not me. End of.

ily this thread :love:
