"Lead by example" is lost on some



Thought you'd enjoy this one: two TTC employees (see logo on the larger guy's shirt for ID) take up a combined five subway seats this morning!
Now it wasn't super-crowded when they first set up camp... but halfway through my route, a woman tried to wedge between them and they were less than sympathetic (see the look on her face in pic #2).

    Had a similar situation just yesterday on the Evans to Royal York 4:30 pm bus: Got on, paid fare, tried to get past 2, count 'em 2 TTC employees standing in the middle of the aisle blocking "traffic". So, I politely excused myself and when neither moved, I (deliberatly) pushed thru them to get by. One of the a-holes actually gave me a dirty look. whata douche.

    The guy in the hat illustrates a major pet peeve of mine. Guys who spread out. You know what, your junk ain't that big, buddy. One person = 1 seat.

    I personally don't have a problem with this. It's not like they are taking up seats that people want to use, because you said "it wasn't super-crowded when they first set up camp" once someone wants to sit down they let her. I know you say "they were less than sympathetic" but that's your personal opinion and may not at all been what they were thinking.

    No dice anon. No one should have to ask them to move, they should not be occupying all that real estate....it's just douchey!
