Entry for 29 January 2007 - Public Transport Troubles

I'm a big public transport user. I personally don't have many problems with CityRail to be honest. Seems i live in the city they are pretty frequent, and when there isn't a train there is always a trusty bus to get me into the city. Though i must confess that i often blame CityRail if i'm running late to work; i'll always just text my other work mates or my boss and say there are delays at Central station and i'll probably be about 15 mins late... Bloody CityRail. But to be completely honest it isn't city rail its usually i'm too tired to get out of bed on time... I have a hang over where i need to actually stay in bed that half an hour extra. Or it ends up being that i'm enjoying my morning sex with my lover.

But my problem today was that while i was sharing a 3 seater with one other woman... And i was reading some random things that I printed off from work... I was enjoying not really being pushed around by a 3rd person.
But then 2 stops before mine; someone came and sat in the spare seat in the middle... And please don't be thinking that the problem is that i have to have someone sitting next to me. The problem is that the guy was a fat little rapper. When he sat down he also sat half on me and half on the other lady that was on the other side.

I'm not the smallest person in the world, actually i could put me at being above average on my own weight (and yes i'm doing something about this; i'm back to the gym as my "new years resolutions") - but with saying this if i know that i'm not going to squeeze into a spot on the train or on the bus for that matter; i would prefer to stand then make the other people around me uncomfortable.

Do you think that I'm being selfish in saying that i wish the guy didn't sit down next to me because he squashed me and he also squashed the other woman next to me. Small things like this really get on my nerves. And it doesn't matter if its someone that i don't know; I also find it annoying when my lover will push his way onto a seat on the train or bus and isn't even a gentelmen at times to see if i would prefer the seat (and most of the time i'll say no, he can sit there because he prefers to sleep and not deal with the fact that he is actually going to work for the day. Even though its only 5 stops on the train)

Anyway thats my gripe with the fat guy that was on my train that sat on me... I didn't enjoy it; and i wish i could have just kicked him!!!
