9. When you get on the subway, you sit at the end of the bench -– not in the middle.
I do not ride any form of public transportation unless it is my only choice. I’m not a germ-o-phobe at all, but it’s just so unclean!
Sure, I’m on edge when I have to ride a bus or subway or shuttle, but the main reason I stay away is the lack of control I have. Ask my husband, yes, I am a control freak. Comes with the bit of OCD I carry around with me.
It seems every time I’m forced into public transportation as a mode of travel, something happens. Never fails. Breaks down, is off-schedule by A LOT, someone at home needs me and I can’t get there…you name it. I hate being completely helpless and out of control.
As far as where I sit goes, yes, it has to be on the end. With transport, I prefer the front – probably because all I want is OUT. Anywhere else, the back and on the end. I don’t like people sitting behind me, I don’t like having to inconvenience people by leaving a row if I’m in the middle. The downside is I’m highly annoyed by all the people who DO end up sitting in the middle who 1) arrive late and bother me by needing to sit in my row and 2) cannot make it through wherever we are without getting in and out of their seat a bunch of times.
Yes, I’m a bit of a stickler when it comes to performance etiquette. Get there early and stay in your seat! I paid good money, too, and it’s not to rise and fall by your presence in my row. 🙂
Wouldn’t it be great if all auditoriums and theaters had an aisle every four or 5 seats?!?
