In a relationship with his own baggage

People, don't leave your baggage on unused seat next to you.

I will do it, so people don't sit next to me.

Unless it's full to the brim, then I might let someone sit next to me.

Somebody cute might sit next to you. You never know.

To me it's just a bother, I don't mind people sitting next to me as long they don't try to force interactions with me.

I hate it the most when I have my earphones in and wan't to sleep but people try to talk with me to force a conversation when I'm not intereted.

If I'm in the mood to talk I will remove my earphones.

Are you saying their baggage isn't cute?

Nah, I already have enough emotional baggage I can't work out or fix, don't really need any more.

I only do it when there are obvious empty rows left, otherwise it feels selfish because most people don't want someone next to them either

I'll only move my stuff on my lap if all rows/pairs of seats have at least one person on them. Sitting next to a stranger when there are plenty of empty seats with no one next to them is super weird anyway.

My bag goes in the floor in front of me, between my legs, or in my lap if there's no room. The only time I put it on the seat next to me is if the bus is almost empty, there's no worry that I'm keeping anyone who needs a seat from sitting.

When traveling with a massive hiking rucksack then I confess it has gone on the seat next to me. Only because it won't fit anywhere else I swear.

I like to pile my coat and tote bag and purse all in a big heap on my lap. That way, if I see a cute guy, I can quickly dump all my shit everywhere and act all flustered so maybe he'll come help me.

And then we both try to pick up the same book at the same time, our hands brush against one another, we lock eyes, he instantly proposes, I say yes, everyone claps...

Honestly, watch out for people who don't put their stuff in the seat next to them. It might be a trap.

is it really a trap if you walk into it willingly?

Clearwater @lemmy.world - 11mon

There are some traps I'll consider a calculated risk.
