What’s the deal with you people who feel the need to sit DIRECTLY behind me when you board an otherwise EMPTY train? 
Every day when I board the AM rush train, the entire car is almost empty. There are maybe 10 people in their seats already. The area where I sit, towards the door between train cars, is EMPTY. Most days it is only me sitting in that section.

That doesn’t stop one guy who always runs on to the train as it’s about to leave. He runs on, catches his breath and sits DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. What’s even worse is that sometimes I catch him looking at my computer screen from the “hole” between the seats.  I caught him once and he made believe like he wasn’t doing anything. Of course I saw you, asshole.

This has been happening for about a month. I get on, the guy sees me and sits behind me. Yesterday I decided to try something different. Before I left the house, I wet a couple of paper towels. When I parked in the parking lot, I spit into the paper towels and wadded them up. I then rubbed the paper towels on my bumper to get it dirty.

I entered the train and as usual the asshole wasn’t there yet. I tossed the paper towels on the seat he usually takes and left it there. My hope was that he would see the paper towels there and not take the seat because who knows what the hell could be in there.

As usual, the guy runs on and proceeds towards the back of the train towards me. Then he stops. I say to myself, “OH SHIT HE’S NOT GONNA SIT THERE!” but then I see him pick up the wadded paper towels and throw it on the floor across the aisle and it lands under the seat. He then sits behind me as if nothing happened. YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!

You’re probably sitting there saying, “Why don’t you just move if you don’t want him sitting near you”. That’s not the point. I was there first. Why should I have to move? And why the fuck is he looking at what I’m doing on my computer screen?

I’m thinking of other ways to get this guy out of my area. What’s next? Throw water on the seat? Cover it in tape? 

STOP SITTING SO CLOSE TO ME!!!
