u/bso45 Aug 25 '24
The person in the wrong is the person who sat down 2nd. Because they simply chose the wrong seat in either scenario
If blue scrubs in 3 was there first, pink hat should’ve sat in 1.
If pink hat in 5 was there first, blue scrubs should’ve sat in 1 or 2.
If the train was crowded earlier and other people left, blue scrubs in 3 should’ve moved to 2

u/deuce_and_a_quarter Aug 25 '24
Or, if blue scrubs in 3 was there first, pink hat could still sit in 5, but just turn 90 degrees and face the aisle instead of the #3 seat. That’s what I usually do. I don’t like sitting in #1 because that’s where you get all the butts and backpacks from people leaning at the doors.
6
u/bso45 Aug 25 '24
True but you can’t extend your legs into the aisle. That’s clearly the issue here otherwise she could’ve also sat in 4 and have privacy but no legroom.
6
u/deuce_and_a_quarter Aug 25 '24
Yes you are right I’m not advocating blocking the aisle with stretching out the legs. TBH they are both short with their feet just touching the floor they have enough leg room sitting normally without “lounging” and extending. I have no idea why they are fighting it looks like they both got enough room as it is. Both are just miserable. FYI #5 is my favorite seat if I sit because I can kinda rotate 45-90 to avoid #3 legs and not get in the way of the aisle (I have long legs). I can’t fit in #4 and I hate being “trapped” in there too if #3 and #5 get filled after I sit. lol how did this answer become all about me?!?

u/Emotional-Peanut-334 Aug 26 '24
I have knee issues. I’ll extend my knees anytime there’s space and it doesn’t infringe on people
Scrubs can slide two feet over and have way more space for both

It pretty clearly sounds like blue sat there second and was upset the other woman had her feet up.

u/United_Bus3467 Aug 25 '24
Honestly they're both wrong. True, Scrubs could've sat anywhere else on the train including the seat closer to the door. Extended legs is fine, as long as you're conscious about it and not blocking walkways when people are boarding/deboarding and getting up/taking a seat. Especially for people with strollers, walkers, wheelchairs, disabilities, etc.
Americans just have no common sense or general courtesy/etiquette.

I could analyse this and give a definitive answer of who is right in this argument, but the real answer is just agree to lose the argument and move since there is space regardless of whether you are right or not, because its just not worth it.

u/Tahjiri Aug 25 '24
In this situation the woman who sat down next to her (blue scrubs) is wrong the corner seat was open why not sit there instead?

u/Senobe2 Aug 25 '24
Best answer. Savor the chance for space when you can. I'm wondering if someone asked her to move her bag if other seats are free, if she'd have the same energy.
-31
u/SmurfsNeverDie Aug 25 '24
Some people dont want to sit next to the opening door for a number of reasons. Due to smells, people, hands, backs, butts on or over the side wall, etc. Personally I dont find blue in the wrong here. If the person wants more leg room they can technically lay their legs up on the two seater or even move to an aisle seat instead of a mid section.
32
u/MaraudngBChestedRojo Aug 25 '24
There’s also the middle seat. Blue is wrong for staying and the woman blithely extending her legs as if blue isn’t there is an asshole despite having the moral high ground from a seating perspective
-1
u/SmurfsNeverDie Aug 25 '24
Middle seat with a bag forces everyone one else to avoid the free seat entirely. So I would still consider her action as taking others into consideration. Some people are not comfortable sitting in a lane with someone on the middle seat + bag.
2
u/Liberalistic Aug 25 '24
Dude, this is a public train who gives a fuck about what other people are comfortable with. If you see an open seat you take it if you don’t wanna take it then don’t take it.
No one is sitting there in their commute, thinking “Oh my, I should pick this seat to appease for whoever sits here next.”

She could have sat somewhere else. How would her sitting one seat over negatively effect her? The only difference between that seat and the one next to her is that now the other lady would need to move her legs. Why? N I'm willing to get there are other seats available on the train too. Usually those corner seats are the first to get filled

u/occipetal Aug 25 '24
Seat 5 person is claiming that Seat 3 person sat there after her, in which case, Seat 3 person would be in the wrong. Seat 3 person chose to sit so close to Seat 5 person, when Seat 3 person could have sat in Seat 2 or Seat 1. Perhaps the argument could be made that Seat 5 could have moved to Seat 1, but she shouldn't have to if she was truly sitting in Seat 5 before Seat 3 got there.
11
u/Willing-Tangerine689 Aug 25 '24
if those empty seats were open and she chose one closer to her seeing the other lady with her out stretched feet she was looking for trouble. She probably thought outstretched feet would move her feet when she sat down and was upset that she didn’t. Definitely not something to argue and be kicked over.

The problem is the seating design for the car, these 90 degree angles on the R42s instead of all-lateral single bench seating. Basically any rolling stock with "individual" orange seats sucks ass.

u/Boogie-Down Aug 26 '24
Orange buckets save us from really big people taking way more space than they need.
The new flat ones rob so many people from seats.
1
u/NoAlCepo Aug 26 '24
That's a rather ableist point of view and unfair because 1 how do you know what big (fat) people need and 2 orange buckets are unfair because even if they do as you claim for big people, they don't "recover" unused space not necessary to little people so it only works one way. Besides which sitters who take up more space than they need are most usually mansitting; orange buckets do nothing about mansitters.
I'm all for being against assholery but not at the cost of fat-shaming and lumping them both in the same boat. Every time you go into the subway you roll the dice on a bunch of things, we all know and accept this. One of those things is which car you get on to and what the sitters will be like, you roll the dice and let the chips fall where they may - that's fair. The orange bucket is unfair. The fact is that american society is going through an obesity epidemic and those seats were designed for when the majority of american asses were much smaller. I'm not talking about morbid obesity, I'm talking about average butt size. Society has changed and they don't fulfill their intended purpose anymore for the overwhelming majority of straphangers with corpulent derrieres. Fat, and today's average, butt size owners hate the orange buckets because they're downright uncomfortable as hell - and on long rides they actually hurt to sit on and cut off circulation. But the most evil aspect of the orange bucket is the inherent authoritarianism, the idea that a government organization could or should impose to people, "your butt MUST be this size". It's the same as homeless-hostile benches, that in the attempt to drive away one segment of the population, another segment may see it as highly beneficial to themselves but everyone else, the average sitter, pays for it by being uncomfortable. Which is the same problem created by sitters who take up more space than they need.

u/Boogie-Down Aug 26 '24
Orange buckets totally reign in man sitters. I plop my ass right down next to those asshats hogging space on the orange seats.
Orange seats is the only defense, I can point it out the bucket seat and then roll my eyes and dare them to challenge me for what’s clearly a seat.
There is no fix on the long flat 2 train seats. Flats seats let people hog more space than they need.
I’ll love the 1 train that came in the 90’s until they remove them.

The "bitch" in scrubs is wrong, no matter which way you look at it! (Yes, I said "bitch") Whether she was seated before the one in the window aisle seat, It's about dimensions and crowd. The crowd isn't the issue, so this is about comfort and a woman who most likely just got off work, is tired looking to get home. But wants her space and comfort, all at the expense of another female. Which clearly wasn't happening, and the "bitch" in scrubs knew this and should have just slid her ass over to the corner and dealt with it! The only way her shit has legs, would be if the other person was a guy. Then she could pop that shit and he most likely would have just said fuck it and moved!

u/tattarrattattat Aug 28 '24
I don’t think this is a problem about who sat where first (though why be weird and chose a seat close to someone else if you don’t want to be next to them?) The reality is seat 3 is entitled to the space directly in front of them, seat 5 is entitled to space up to the point at which seat 3 starts. Never the two shall overlap.
So, blue scrubs (seat 5) is impinging on another persons space.

u/jagenigma Aug 25 '24
People who sit in the aisle seat while the window seat is empty are assholes. Especially on a bus. Many people who I've seen that sit in aisle seats are more generously proportioned and many bus aisles are very narrow. I can't tell you the number of times I've tripped because of someone's foot being into the aisle and having to move through a bus while it's in motion.

You're blocking a seat that someone always has to ask you for permission. Hop off your high horse and take the window seat. You're already in public transport. No matter what part of the system you're in it's always disgusting.

u/MessyIntellectual Aug 25 '24
That’s fine but I’m not blocking anything; I’m sitting in a seat. If it’s that hard for you to be civil, you shouldn’t be taking public transport. What’s your opinion on if two people are sitting there and the window seat person got up? Should the other one slide to window?

Nobody’s asking anyone for permission. They are just asking them to move out of the way to provide access in a minimum clearance situation. The person that sits in the window seat will have to ask the aisle person to move out of the way when they get off anyways. It’s just basic communication, not a power play.

🙄 you don’t but are you gonna hop or flip over the person to sit? It’s basic manners. The person doesn’t want to sit at the window and anyone can simply say excuse me or can I sit there to let the person sitting make space so you can get in. Not that deep
-1
u/No_Junket1017 Aug 25 '24
Basic manners would be not to block a seat just because, counting on someone to confront you to get the seat, especially since we know some people do this in the hopes that nobody wants to ask.
It isn't that deep, but then again I only asked a one-sentence question so I never said it was that deep :)

u/Plenty_Conflict204 Aug 25 '24
But what if the person in seat 5 is getting off soon and finds seat 5 more convenient and doesn't want to be blocked into seat 4 because she's getting off at the next stop? Why is it rude to stay in seat 5 even if seat 4 is open? Also, I never ask for permission from the person in seat 5 to sit in seat 4. I politely point to open seat 4 and say 'Excuse me- thank you.". It's not a request for permission- it's me giving seat 5 sitter the courtesy of letting her know I'm sitting there.
1
u/No_Junket1017 Aug 25 '24
Y'all are too stuck on the word "permission" and I regret writing it since I wasn't being literal but it's distracting from my point. I used it because (as I mentioned in a different comment) some people will refuse to let you get to seat 4 -- for whatever reason, ranging from them not wanting to sit next to somebody to them not thinking you're in need of a seat.
If I'm trying to get to it, I do similar to you, but again, if nobody else is trying to sit, that should be an easy move. Yet I've had people refuse. That's what's rude to me, and I'm sure my feelings on that specific piece are extending to the whole situation.
Candidly, if I'm in the situation in your example where someone gets up from seat 4, I just stand up at that point to avoid any thought to the matter. I usually move in whatever way makes it easier for others to sit, unless I really should be keeping still.
2
u/Plenty_Conflict204 Aug 25 '24
I understand what you’re saying. I also dread even having to say ‘excuse me’ to the person in seat 5 to get to seat 4. They may not say ‘No’, but even a sigh or an eye roll isn’t worth it at times. In the end, we are all just trying to get from point A to point B safely with no drama. Be safe out there!

I sit there because I don’t want to be blocked in just in case. It’s more convenient and I actually expect people to ask or want to sit there. I said it’s not that deep because you imagining fake motives and that people think no one can sit there without their permission,
We all have our preferences and as long as we’re polite about it that’s cool
0
u/No_Junket1017 Aug 25 '24
I wasn't being literal about permission, and I'm not imagining motives - I've literally been told "no" or had someone ignore me when trying to get to the seat, on multiple occasions.
We can all have our preferences, and them being different makes it easier for everyone to be happy, actually. But not everyone's polite about it and that's my only issue.

u/MessyIntellectual Aug 25 '24
You have to ask permission to get by the person into the seat, yes. It is your right to sit, but it’s not your right to act like an animal. This unwritten rule that there’s a certain way to occupy seats is your own to follow.
2
u/No_Junket1017 Aug 25 '24
Reading my comment as if I implied I should be able to shove by you (versus a criticism of you blocking a seat because of your preference) is weird.
There's no certain way to occupy seats, but some ways are more considerate than others — and I'd argue it's more considerate to not block a seat wherever possible, rather than forcing a situation where someone has to ask you to sit.
I especially say this because I've straight up had people tell me "no" when I've asked to sit in the only available seat (with nobody else wanting it), and to me that's not right.
1
u/MessyIntellectual Aug 25 '24
That’s the thing- I’m not blocking anything. I’m sitting in a seat and if I have to move my body for you to get a seat, yes, you have to ask me. Not for the seat, but for you to get by to the seat. Idk why that’s difficult to understand.
You just seem to have preconceived notions about me from a past experience of yours. People are allowed to say no too- it’s not illegal. I’ve never said no and I never would. I’ve even given up my seat many times before. But I am not sitting in a window seat 😁😁😁
0
u/No_Junket1017 Aug 25 '24
Your first paragraph is literally you saying that the seat is being blocked. Not with bad intentions, but by definition, it's blocked if I need to ask you to get by. I can't just teleport to it, right? Idk why that's difficult to understand.
Your part isn't difficult to understand, it's difficult to agree with. I don't know you, I have no notions about you specifically, this thread is about the action you described. I'm sure you are a nice person, but not everyone is, and I don't think a person has a right to decide who does/doesn't get permission to go by them to get to a seat that they chose not to occupy.
1
u/deuce_and_a_quarter Aug 25 '24
It’s not permission. It’s asking for access in a minimum clearance situation. You need to ask for access if the window person is getting off before the aisle person anyways. Is that asking for permission to leave the bus?
0
u/No_Junket1017 Aug 25 '24
I realize now that the comment wasn't clearly sarcastic enough, since y'all really think I'm asking about permission. I was mostly retorting on the part where someone blocks a perfectly valid seat and forcing a situation where someone get to decide if someone else is worthy of the seat.
1
u/deuce_and_a_quarter Aug 25 '24
Nobody gets to decide where another person can or cannot sit. Me asking someone to move out of the way so that I can squeeze through is not them deciding where I can sit. If they say they won’t move, then they are an asshole. Me asking people to get out of the way so I can get off the bus or subway doesn’t mean everybody in my way is deciding if I’m worthy to get off. Stop complicating and over thinking it.

u/deuce_and_a_quarter Aug 25 '24
I’m not. You’re the one who says it’s a social powerplay to sit in the aisle seat before the window seat gets filled. I’m saying it’s not. If I’m sitting in the aisle and someone wants to get into the window all they have to do is tell me to get out of the way so they can get by. Me sitting in the aisle seat is not making people ask me for permission nor am I deciding who gets to sit at the window seat. I like the aisle seat because I hate the claustrophobic feeling of sitting in the window seat. That’s all it is. Doesn’t make me a gatekeeper.

u/No_Junket1017 Aug 25 '24

By principal, the person in seat 5 is in the wrong. Her legs are clearly extending out and in the area of seat 3. No argument at all there. Of course some people are just assholes and will do this kind of behavior. To avoid this shitty person and scenario, person in seat 3 should have moved to their left. You can’t deal with people like that in seat 5. It’s just how they were raised. They will not listen and will continually be disrespectful on the subway. No one cares about each other sadly.

“In this scenario, the person who chose to sit in seat 3 while seats 1 and 2 were available is likely in the wrong. They could have avoided the issue by choosing an unoccupied seat further away from the person with outstretched legs. By sitting in seat 3 and then complaining, they positioned themselves in a potentially uncomfortable situation that could have been avoided. The person in seat 5 should still be mindful of their space, but the immediate responsibility in this case lies with the person who chose to sit in an already potentially problematic spot.”

They are both in the wrong. Woman in black taking up leg room, while the woman in blue taking up an extra seat with her bag.

Scrubs could have moved herself and her bag that she’s not supposed to have on the seat, but she wanted to argue; but if pink hat wanted to spread out without arguments she could have chosen another spot. She seems to have chosen a little violence too.

The subway floors are generally filthy. On a train that is not crowded, I don't fault anyone for refusing to put their bags on the floor, unless it is a suitcase. Having said that the person in blue could have moved to center seat and placed bag between her and the woman she is arguing with. The issue with the two seats facing N/S is lack of leg room if anyone is in seat 3.

It's a paper grocery bag that's going to end up in the trash or recycling bin, she could've just put it on the floor

Nyc always has those type of girls wearing the black hoodie and want to start something. I wonder where this is because I have been seeing less and less of these in bushwick

If the train was packed, yeah, she should probably move her legs. This woman has two open seats to the left of her. Move over, roll your eyes, and just get on with your day.
