Sometimes unavoidable with the three-trough setup, as we have here at work. You walk in and the person who walks in just before you occupies the middle one! Why can't they occupy one of the outer troughs; the middle one is for times of high demand only.
My workplace only has two.... So someone is always the weird one.
To be fair, you are completely correct. You have also highlighted the "poor park" syndrome:
(One park left in a carpark - but a soccer mum in an SUV who can't park straight forces you to make an abnormal park. The Soccer mum then leaves which makes you look like a tosser )
Back to the crowded urinal situation, I did have a larger (5+) toilet block in mind at the time.
Ah didums - as I said the train was busy and we couldn't find 2 spaces together - this guy was fully aware the train was full, and that we had been looking for somewhere to sit for a while - he was totally selfish and occupying 6 seats to himself - and had sat right in the middle to try and put off others from sitting there. Why should I feel guilty There were loads of single places dotted around ... Had we been able to find somewhere to sit vaguely together, we wouldn't have done this (but it was great fun for 2 old ladies, ahahaha).
I find that spreading some Marmite under your arm pits works a treat too, that or fresh kippers in a plastic bag. Can also be used to keep two whole rows to yourself at the cinema!!
You said tust he sat in the middle of a semicircular bench of six seets. You said, too, that he was the only one sitting in this bench. This leads to the cnclusion, that, provided he didn't have the waist of a sumo wrestler, there were two free seers on one side of him and three free seers on the other.
Yes, love that joke. When I first heard it I had to think for a very long time
Honestly, we only sat either side because he was slouching in the middle seat with his feet on the table - and was very aware that families and small groups where walking up and down looking for somewhere to sit. It was quite obvious he had sat in the middle to make it difficult for others - he had his earphones on, music loud, and was very slobby, so it was fun to play him back at his game - and we old biddies won Makes a refreshing change (btw my friend is British..)
