You know how when you ride public transportation and there’s no empty seats by yourself, you usually end up sitting next to someone, right? Well, when a free seat pops up after a couple stops and there’s a free seat available next to no one, I always feel like an asshole if I move. Like, if I get up and move to the clearly open seat surrounded by no one i’m basically telling that person I sat next to for two stops, “i hate you and i don’t want to sit here anymore.” 

So I sit there with that same person my entire duration of my trip, or until they get off before me. Even if we’re surrounded by empty seats.

I just… can’t… move.

  8. edencrowne said: Just move one section of the seat over, that sends the message: here lets make a little more room for ourselves but I don’t hate you…I learned that commuting here in Tokyo.
