MOVE!!!!

It constantly, consistantly amazes me that most people on public transport turn into inconsiderate jerks once they enter the bus/train. Today I witnessed one individual committ so many transgressions against common good manners that I started to wonder if this girl might be deliberately trying to get smacked.
When I got on she was sitting in the six seater right in the isle. There were two others sitting in there with her. She had one foot up on the seat. There were no other vacent seats so I excused myself and waded past the two people seated so that I could sit up against the wall. The girl who had her feet on the seat was sitting by the window and as I moved along the seat refused to move her feet. She actually put them closer together to make room but didn't move them off the seat. There is no way I'm snuggling up to some morons jackboots and as another person made a move to sit next to me I made eye contact and asked her nicely but loudly ( so that I had witnesses that I was provoked in case I shoved her head through the glass) if she would take her feet off the seat please. One foot made it to the floor with such bad grace I thought she had purchased the seat specifically for a footrest. But one foot remained firmly planted on the seat. By now I was uncomfortably squished between a foot with a rather boney ankle attached to it and a well proportioned fellow commuter. The difference between Travelling in comfort and travelling with one leg falling asleep and an arm jostling my side every time my neighbour turned a page of her book was ( interestingly ) the width of the said bony ankle and boot. I'm so tired of these people. It's hard to even get a bit of indignation up these days. I'm just tired, this doesn't mean that they will get away with anything it just means that I won't enter into any negotiations. If I'd had the strength I would have taken her foot and reefed her leg up and over her head, she may have thought keeping her foot on the seat was worth a dislocated hip but of course that was only an unattainable dream. I did, however, stand and use my foot to force her to move her boot. I figured that we both had a good chance of one good kick each and as we were trapped between four people and the isle I couldn't see a full scale retaliation happening. As it was she got such a fright that I pushed her foot off the seat she didn't do any thing except sit up a bit straighter. I denied her a chance for revenge by moving as soon as a few people disembarked and a spare seat became available.
