On the train today, I fought for my space. I sat on the only available seat. It was a 2 seater and the guy already sitting down possessed it like a king’s throne, legs widely spread. So I squeezed and sat down and he didn’t move a hair, faking he was asleep. But I had to fight for my space, without starting a fight.
Before: Seat split 75:25
So millimetre by millimetre I slowly gained back space, taking advantage of every tiniest train jolt to push into my territory. After over 15 minutes of budging…
After: Seat Split 50:50
Victory! I claimed my equal share of the seat.
I laughed out loud when I read this – so true.
