i hate the fucking subways in the city, everyone shoves and pushes and the fat bitches are always trying to squeeze into a seat where they would normally take up 3

I've learned to respect pot-holes after blowing out a $250 tire at 140km/h this morning

Tokyo (I assume that's where this is...I've heard about those guys) is insane! What if they need to evacuate in an emergency? What if there's a medical emergency on the train? Wow.

Suddenly the Yonge line doesn't seem so bad. Still not great, but by compariison...

I was coming home from the 'rents at Easter (from Hamilton), switched from GO train to subway. I'm tired, turkey'd up, half-drunk and suffering from a banging headache thanks to my sister's kids/dog.

I'm sitting there, facing the doors listening to my iPod. Some guy gets on that obviously hasn't bathed in a few days and clearly has some kind of either mental deficiency or crack habit. I watch the train load, lots of empty seats and I caught this guy's eyes. I guess he took that as a sign that I was his best fucking friend because he leans out for a high-five. I look at him, then look away and scan the train. I look back and buddy is still sitting there, arm extended, awaiting his high five. I (wearing gloves) oblige.

I then continue to look in any direction but his. From the corner of my eye I see him stand up and leave his empty row of seats to sit right next to me...so close he was sitting on part of my coat. I'm annoyed. The last thing I want to do right now is play fucking paddy-cake with some dirtball sketchbag. He says nothing. All of a sudden, he's got his arm around me and his head on my shoulder, so I push him off. He keeps trying to put his arm around me and get close in to my neck and shoulders like I'd ordered a hickey.

So there I am, pretty much wrestling this guy off me - forcibly holding his hands at bay. Everyone on the train just sits there and watches. I eventually manage to get up and walk away...but he follows. Now, I'm shouting at him on the train to stay the fuck away from me, but he keeps trying for a hug. Like, WTF? The only reason I didn't deck this guy is because I'm pretty sure he's mentally challenged in some way and just wanted to make a friend....but Jesus. Don't touch me.

Lol, and I thought here the situation with the overloaded city transport is problematic. Seriously, they are pushing the people like the nazis pushed the jews in the trains during ww2... (sorry for comparing those two but... really... someone might be killed in this japanese train )

There is no need to sit RIGHT beside someone when there are 40 other seats available to you, no need.

what does it matter where they sit? they can sit wherever imo.

like does it really effect you that much? i dont see the big deal.
granted, it is a little odd they would on an empty car but fuk who cares. maybe you were lookin hot and they were tryin to pull a move, cop a feel.

I've noticed this is mostly a city thing. Myself, I do enjoy my personal space and in any event I try to sit as far as possible from where everyone else is sitting. So long as I'm in the city everybody else seems to do the same. When I get to the suburbs it's actually quite frequent when the bus is empty for someone (usually someone old) to come in, sit next to or in front of me and strike up a random conversation.
