There’s a free space by the window. But someone’s already sitting in the aisle seat, avoiding eye contact at all costs.You’re left with an awkward decision, do you ask them to budge up?
It is not awkward at all. Tell him to move his backpack (if there is one) and sit there.
If you don’t want someone to sit beside you, sit on the window seat then eagerly look at everyone walking past and pat the seat beside you. Nobody wants to sit beside that guy.
“Hey, can you move your bag so I can have that seat?”
Is a profound lack of give a damn about how uncomfortable I make other people. They know what they are doing, quietly signalling that they dont want anybody sitting there. Other people who do have social graces will stand around quietly staring daggers and silently judging, Im just gonna make this shit awkward for the both of us.

This works 98% of the time. When it doesn’t, oh boy! You’re in for an “interesting” conversation!
Use at your own risk!
I envy your social skills. ^^’
Its actually a lack of them.

Why would I give a fuck what they want? They are not entitled to the public space.
man i’m glad i don’t have to share public transport with people like you
Only assholes use two seats when more than half the seats are full.
People who claim more than their share of a limited resource are the reason society isn’t nicer.
