Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Okay, here's the scenario.

I take the train to my state capital a few days a week for university classes. One of the days I sit down on the train at 6:45 am and I return home at 8:00 pm. A long day. The train I get home is a VERY popular service and is always crowded when we leave the Capital but after a few stops as we get closer to my station, I always have people sitting next to me and they won't move to an open seat. My social anxiety is bad enough, but I am tall and large and I need my space. Also, I get to the train 10-15 mins early to sit in my ideal seat. 

Am I the butthole if I ask them to move to an open seat?
