Would you sit next to a foreigner in a bus or train? I look similar to Nish's profile pic, and most of the time, the place next to me is the last to be filled on public transport. I really shouldn't give a sh*t, but I've realized that I no longer sit, even if the entire f***ing carriage is vacant. Stupid Chinese / Vietnamese / Brits / French / etc (real country disguised)
Never mind foreigners people don't like to sit next to anybody here. On the local trains the seats are in blocks if 4 (Two seats facing two other seats), and what usually happens is that people will primarily try to sit in an empty block (on a seat next to the window) the next person after that will sit on the opposite side next to the aisle. Once those two seats are taken it seems people would rather stand than sit next to somebody else, leaving half of the seats empty.

Not here though. There are rare exceptions where the seats are arranged as you say. They are close enough that your knees touch the person before you if you're over 5' tall. Bloody genius who thought of putting them that way.

Mate, it's nothing to do with racism, as you suggest, but the fact that you smell. :laugh:

So the fact you know who Nish is implies you are a regular, But you have only signed up today. Have you really created a sock-puppet just to post this? I wouldn't sit next to somebody who was taking to much of an interest in where people choose to sit.

Well, it was put up on demand. I don't want the site to lose traffic just because I took down my pic.

Happens to me all the time, and I'm white and live in the US. Maybe you just look unfriendly? I always assume that's why people avoid sitting near me...but then again people I've never talked to before from various classes have no problem approaching me to ask questions about the class, so I'm not so sure.

No, its just that you give them the stiff one eyed stare ;P

Yeah, smelly foreigners. In all seriousness it doesn't bother me at all, but a couple of years ago I was on a train, and sitting opposite a black man who had a rucksack next to him. As we pulled into a station he stood up and walked off down the train, leaving his rucksack on the seat. I was a little bit concerned that the rucksack was going to explode, but not too much. I stood up, I had a look out the door to see if he had got off further down the train, and I returned to my seat (listening for ticking sounds) before we pulled off from the station. The man returned shortly afterwards. I don't know if I would have been less worried had he been white, or more worried had he been Asian. Ultimately what kept me calm was wondering why anyone would want to blow up Tamworth, I mean there are many good reasons, but I cannot think that any self respecting terrorist would go to the bother.

In India, if you leave your bag unattended, you lose your bag.... so we do not have this kind of problem here... :-D

I used to take a monthly shower like everyone else but I had to stop because Apple threatened a lawsuit. It appears my shower had a large central window, rounded corners and to access it I made a left to right swiping motion (to open the door). Their lawyers also mentioned "streaming input and output and a touch interface" but I don't think that they can actually support a patent claim on that.

Well that is one problem a spate of bag bombings clears up. You can leave your bag anywhere you want on the public transport system these days and it'll still be there when you get back. Might have an army robot blowing it up if you're too long, but it'll still be there.

Oh, I got a letter saying the drops that came out of it, had rounded corners, so I had to redesign the water drops.

Well, your name has some high standards. He still didn't get any down vote. (nobody even demanded soapbox transfer) :cool:

this makes perfect sense for me. Then the occupied seats should be given to elderly, women, and children.
If it moves, compile it
Why not give them the vacant seats? Sitting in the occupied ones would be rather uncomfortable for both parties.

Well, why would anyone downvote that? I kinda have a good guess as to who he is. Very few Indian CPians write good English with a british-slant and the fact that he's a little overly sensitive to potential racism has backed up my guess. That closely matches his character (historically speaking) :-)
