It's times like that that I wish I was Vortex.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My goodness our office wastes food. I swear I can eat 2-3 lunches a week for free just on leftover food from meetings. In fact I can probably get some dinners covered this way also. after the meeting food just goes in the fridge for anyone. Today I have a huge amount of salad, also an entire tray of flour tortillas from Friday's lunch of fajitas. I will make mac quesadilla for dinner and use the others for breakfast burritos all week.

Because books.
The thing that's actually better about the subway is that when you're standing, and someone's completely infringing on your personal space, you can bag-check them, hard. It's very satisfying.
Planes are just too small now, all around. I'm not a very big person, and I get into one of those seats and feel like a pretzel.

It's always useful to learn to live off the land.

On planes, I try shifting around and sighing audibly, but apparently passive-aggressiveness doesn't work on some people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There is no need for legs to be pressed up against on a plane.
Oh wait, do you mean in the ass/thigh area? Then it can be unavoidable. So then let's focus on the no jiggling. COME ON PEOPLE.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
After every event involving food, my firm sends out an office wide email saying telling people to come help themselves. Sometimes they even supply take home containers

Speaking for those with bad hips/backs, holding your legs away from someone else in close quarters can result in significant pain. Sometimes it seems a good idea to apologize, sometimes it seems a good idea to ignore the entire situation, depending on how it seems your neighbor will react.

One of my first jobs out of college, I had to arrange for lunches for a lot of meetings. It was a software firm, and I usually had to station myself at the table outside the conference room to protect the lunches from the vultures.
On the other hand, I always made sure to order an extra lunch or two, just to make sure there was enough food to go around. Ahem.

My desk at my old office was next to two conference rooms. People would start hovering around 1pm looking for leftovers even though everyone knows that leftovers go to the kitchen before they are available.
Connie has it right - vultures. I just made friends with the Admins who handled the lunches and they would let me know if/when there were leftovers.
