Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I commute to work by bus daily. It's only a 30 minute ride and I have no problem standing if the seats are actually all taken but it annoys me that very frequently I see people place their bags on the empty seats next to them, and leave them there while the bus is filling up and people are left standing. I'm questioning my actions because when I ask to sit down I get glares from the person who has to move their bag and from the people in line behind me who have to wait for me to sit down. Am I overthinking this or are my actions rude in some way? I'm commuting from NJ to NYC at peak rush hour time, btw.
