Trains showing up at Jamaica and the guy on the microphone has no clue where the trains are going. Trains are waiting for 15 minutes before moving.

I get on the 5:27pm train headed to Ronkonkoma around 5:22pm and there are hardly any seats left.

I walk down the aisle and see a guy (on the larger side) sitting in a two seater with no one next to him. Me (on the shorter side) ask him if I could sit.

He takes a deep breath and moans, exclaims “it’s not going to be comfortable for either of us” then gets up and lets me slide in.

I don’t know if he larger than I thought or if he was just flexing but basically he didn’t move an inch. Full on man spread, elbows out. I honestly didn’t mind, I mean it’s either I’m uncomfortable standing or uncomfortable sitting.

At Bethpage I see full row open up, so I get up and move over ( he still seems upset).

I’m new to commuting and still trying to figure out what the proper etiquette is. Thoughts?
