Rode the 5:10 last night.
Sat up in the upper level.
Sat a quad over from a woman who did a little shopping at the Eaton Centre I presumed.
Bags on every seat. Train fills. People, some rudely, ask if the seats are taken.
One woman gives her a dirty look. The bag lady says to the hairy eyeball lady, "Can't you sit somewhere else?"
The lady says, "This is the 5:10 express train and it's full. It's not a subway."
The bag lady looks around. People are standing. She sighs and puts all her bags under the seats.
Watching her, I was reminded of an internet meme that surfaced back in 2000. It was a flash video based on a catchphrase, "all your base are belong to us", lifted from a video game.
All I kept thinking was "all your space are belong to me".
Here's the video. Imagine it with pictures of bag riders. My bag riders. Soon, I promise.

I dont understand why people are so intimidated by seat hogs. i just walk up and proceed to sit down. when your ass is about to sit on their stuff, they move it quickly, trust me. I usually say "excuse me" as Im about to sit. i sure as hell dont ask them to move their crap.
I have no problem picking up someones bag and throwing it on the floor for them.......actually it's more shoving it onto the floor, but it generally has the same effect.
I even have a problem with regular riders (who should know better!!)who have gym bags or briefcases and insist on putting them only partially under the seat. I slowly, inch by inch, slide my feet forward and push them all the way under the seat.
I love this video!
