If somebody's humping the shit out of your leg, hey, "don't touch me" makes a lot of sense, but if crowded trains piss you off that much, take a helicopter to work or move anywhere but the most densely populated city in the Western Hemisphere.
Yeah, I agree but I had to draw the line once with guy on a plane flight.
Some grumpy elderly fuck in the seat behind me was reading a broad sheet newspaper in such a way that it was actually partly resting on and flapping over the top of my head.
First I made a nonchalant flicking /hair ruffling gesture as if I was shooing away some insect/foreign object from my hair. He didn't get the message after me doing this a couple of times so I gently but more obviously deliberately pushed the paper away from my head . He rustled the paper a little bit and just carried on.
I then turned around and, said "please can you take your news paper off my head, it's not comfortable for me".
He told me "it's not my fault that you're tall!". I'm 5'11".
I said something like, "well of course my height's my fault but it's not my fault that you're a miserable and selfish asshole. Look at those people there, they've folded their papers to read them. They're considerate. Can you get it?!"
I sat down and this guy continued doing the same thing. I grabbed his paper this time slightly crumpled it and shoved away from my head back towards him and he started moaning and kicking at the back of my seat. I just gave up.
Unbelievable.
