Training

Dear Ratface,

I ride the train to work every day. Coming home today the train was close to full. There were several empty seats. But by empty I mean they were occupied by someone's stuff. Everyone pretended they couldn't see me. I was too polite to yell at anyone. Even though I wanted to. So I stood. What would Ratface do? -Sore Feet

Dear Sore Feet,

Oh Ratface might say something simple like, "Move." If they don't budge grab there stuff and toss it off the train. Problem solved. Most likely though they'll free up the seat. At this point, smile. Chuckle a little if you're so inclined. Then say, "You misunderstood. 'Move' doesn't mean, 'Please move your stuff.' 'Move' means, 'Change seats. Now.'" -Ratface
