Monday morning I was at an undisclosed location for work. It was a big waiting room-type space where everyone involved has to wait their turn. There were 3 huge couches, a long leather bench and more than a few individual chairs for people to sit, yet I had to stand. Not because there were so many people there that there weren't any seats open, but because everyone's STUFF was taking up all the space. Literally there were maybe 3 people sitting in 20 seats and every other space was filled up with bags, jackets and purses. RUDE. You just can't do that, people!
The same situation goes for public transportation like buses, trains and subways. I get it -- It is everyone's life's goal to never EVER have to sit next to another human being, but let's be decent here. Especially in New York City, you just CAN'T take up more than 1 seat per person. If you have some carry along items with you please put them on the floor or on your lap, you jerk.
Thank you.
