I take up space when I want to, and walk really tall (and fast, and confident) and I'm pretty much over even noticing I do so
flea may never have heard this story, but sisterly-coincidentally, I found out after college that all my college friends thought I was a stone-cold lesbian -- because I walk fast. The one who confessed this to me got a very long lecture called "Why the hell are you dawdling? It's effing cold out and I want to get where I am going!!"
The Boston T has delineated seats, but there are times when the seat is just not big enough for the butt in it. (Occasionally, the problem is gigantic shoulders and muscled arms, okay once when I saw a shirtless bodybuilder sitting with empty seats on either side because he literally would have had his armpit in your face.) This being New England, the silent guilt trip power is strong, but when a body's got to take up two seats, a body's got to take up two seats. Not a lithe young male body airing his privates.
More often, everybody just wants 1.2 seats, and the whole row is like a bunch of thighs in pantyhose, squirming uncomfortably.
And then if they talk back, cockpunch.
Sooooo needs to be a tag.
NOT ONLY were his legs spread way open, and he was leaning at angle, but he he had a chain wallet-- and the chain was spread out next to him, taking up EVEN MORE SPACE! He and his damn wallet chain had two spots!
OMG, I totally would have slid up right next to that guy, sat on his fucking chain, and started fussing around in my bag.
I am happy to provide amusement.
Oh, PS -- the other day I said "oh my total fucking god" out loud, and then had to spend like five minutes explaining.
Huh. Nutty, you never would have pinged me as a lesbian.
Best case summary I've read recently:
When the co-employee came to the former employee's home for dinner one night, he used the FE's telephone to incur a large phone sex charge. The CE agreed to pay the bill but he was thereafter sarcastic and he beat up the FE.
Huh. Nutty, you never would have pinged me as a lesbian
That is because we have only ever met in Los Angeles, and we drove everywhere.

We walked across the street to the Wok place!
But fast walking has never seemed particularly lesbianish to me. If that's the case, I'm definitely a lesbian.
Also, weren't you in SF for that F2F? I thought for sure we'd seen each other one other time outside of LA, because I remember us being glad to see each other again.
