Had a stroppy adolescent once on a late night train trying to use bag and feet to keep four seats for himself. He got his revenge by leaning over and using my guitar headstock to push himself up out of his seat. Fortunately no damage done.

Likewise, why do people sit on the aisle seat instead of next to the window? Clearly they would rather get the odd whack from somebody's elbow or bag than allow someone to sit next to them.

This REALLY annoys me. It would annoy me less if they didn't bother with the bit of cardboard saying 'If you're happy to use your towels again and save on washing...' etc.
