Hey, Pittsburgh bus riders. We have to have a little talk about being considerate

I think this is along the same lines, but yesterday on the 28X it was super full from the airport, which meant people had luggage. Instead of putting things under the seat, or even - SHOCK - putting smaller luggage on their lap, they just sat and stared as people got on the bus. My schoolbag is just as big as some of the duffel bags people had, and I never would leave it on a seat next to me and just stare at an entire aisle full of people.

If I am on a crowded bus and someone's bag is on the seat I want, I stare the person down until they move it.

[_orz]

I've found that a firm "Excuse me, can I sit there please?" gets most people to move their stuff.

If that doesn't do the trick, threaten to move the bags yourself or just sit on the top of the bags. You'll get some nasty looks, but it works every time.

I generally go for the more passive agressive "Excuse me, is this seat taken?"

haha, passive agressive ftw!

I think I will try that the next time it happens. I'm just so nonconfrontational on the bus.
