The Isolated Blurt Thread: I Learned The Truth at XVII

[Jennifer]

Reminded me of this recent article:

I Have Been Sitting on Manspreaders For the Last Month and I Have Never Felt More Free


May his thigh remember and rue this day.

Good for the author. People are so rude. Everyone should start taking the seats back.

My time for the 3.87 miles over trails and uneven ground was a bit off at 34:20. I wonder if it might have something to do with the temperature (it's 93° [34°C] ) with 60% humidity or does it have something to do with the fact that I rode 42.6 miles yesterday.





34:20 actually sucks. WTF?

I really don't understand this phenomenon. Why don't these people stand in the presence of a lady? Come to that, why does no-one doff any more?

In a decent society such...persons... would be re-educated at the point of a polonium-dipped quill.

So hang on. If one does this "manspreading" business (instead of doing the awkward leg-fold, hunching into oneself and attempting to look inconspicuous as is my usual custom), beautiful women will just, like, walk right up and sit on you?

And here I am using just one seat like a sucker.

Also it lets one's testicles enjoy the natural cooling function. Men were designed to sit like men.

That is a good article but the author is cute and little. I'm neither. Instead I'm big and imposing. Either way my ass fits in one seat, a man should be able to do so as well.

 

[Saint Peter]

I manspread because of spacial constraints.

Punch with that ass if you must.

*claps*

 

[DesEsseintes]

I genuinely haven't seen this. Perhaps men up and down trains are slamming their legs together like a director's clapperboard at the very thought of me sitting on them.

 

[Spins]

People never do things that piss off other people.

Never happens.

And certainly not people of the female gender.

Nope. Never.

What if my ass punches you while wearing one of your ass hooks?

 

[Wings]

Of course Women do things that tick off other people, but in my daily commuting history it's always the man who take up too much room women will pile themselves high with all of their bags and belongings before they ever take up another seat

I would be fucked!

 

[BabblingBrooke]

Best words ever.

 

[CyranoJ]

Public transit in my town has specific etiquette campaigns targeted at people who sprawl over multiple seats, block the doorways, pile baggage in the seats and so on. And at people who neglect personal hygiene. It actually seems to have had some impact.

 

[BabblingBrooke]

I would be fucked!

This....does not sound like a problem.

Doff what?

Giving up a seat in my little corner of the universe is only for pregnant women (third trimester), recently pregnant women (actually carrying the babe in arms), the halt and lame, or the extremely aged (ie, older than I am).

Of course Women do things that take off other people, but in my daily commuting history it's always the man who take up too much room women will pile themselves high with all of their bags and belongings before they ever take up another seat

You obviously aren't in NYC.

 

[Spins]

Or DC.

 

[Wings]

No, I'm in Minneapolis. Maybe the women here are more polite.

Just relax.

 

[lovetoread]

I've seen more manspreading than womanspreading here.

 

[Noor]

I am fairly freaked out. My landlord is being unreasonable. I want to move, but there is nothing open. I wasn't planning on still being here anyway. Byron...

I have to give 2 months notice anyway. I cannot physically handle another renovation, painting or whatever while I am in the house. Paint fumes, dust, all my stuff inaccessible. Plus, I have a lot of stuff to do in the next two weeks besides clear out my stuff to who knows where.

Evidently, it's not as much fun to watch "fixtures" in the rain as it is to play them in it.

The stadium is empty.

You need a safe place. Comfort. A hobbit hole.
