People who put their feet up on bus seats.

Options
I was sitting on the back seat of a busy bus this morning when 2 young men got on and sat at the back on the opposite side from me. One of them put his feet up on the opposite seat - there are at least 2 signs saying 'Do not put your feet up' with an illustration for the dim-witted.

'Can you put your feet down', I said. 'F*** does it have to do with you?' he replied.

Then he made as if to grab me quickly, so I headbutted him - his friend did nothing.

I got of the bus quickly and walked the rest of the way to work; I mean, he was on the deck holding his nose. I'm not sure I would do the same again but I hate it when people ignore pretty standard etiquette when there is no excuse.

Rant over.

    I think it's a great story... but headbutting people is probably ignoring pretty standard etiquette...;)

    Someone got a criminal record for putting their feet up whilst on the train, I think they ended up having to give up their career as a teacher.
  • Weren't there any signs saying "do not headbutt" ;)

    I hate this with a passion as well.

    I also hate it when people put their bag on the empty seat next to them and don't move it.

    Hate people who insist on playing music through their phone loudspeakers.

    anyone else think headbutting is rather extreme in this instance or is it just me?Surely that can be classed as common assault..??
