Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I'm in college; over breaks I normally travel using Megabus. I'm fat (and working on it) but that makes it very uncomfortable for myself (and I'm sure the person I'm sitting next to) on these long rides. 

I began buying 2 seats and also reserving 2 seats side-by-side so I wouldn't have to deal with others asking since I then have an assigned seat. General seats aren't assigned and you sit wherever you want unless the driver honors my having two tickets. There are limited reserved seats. 

I was scheduled for a trip but they just emailed me saying my trip was cancelled and I'd have to reschedule. I have to make this trip this week so I plan to request a new trip leaving later in the week. My dilemma is that there are no reserved seats available on any trip, only general seating.

**Would I be an asshole if I bought two bus tickets and turned down others when they ask to sit next to me?** Would it be rude if I said something like "Sorry, but I paid for two seats" or say it's taken. Or just try to board first, dump all my crap then get off and wait til everyone else has boarded.
