I feel like people who sit on the the outside seat and then won't even stand up to let someone through have clearly indicated they do not wish to be part of society anymore. I also don't understand wanting the aisle seat, because not only can you not look out the window you have to be vigilant at each stop for your…

The worst is the sociopaths who just turn to the side to let you out when they are on the aisle side of the seat. You want my butt in your face? Fine.

Oh yes. I think we can lump "waited 15 min for the bus, pushed to the front of the line, and now standing going through pockets/purse to search for ventra card" types in there too.

I am surprised at how much I care about this isssue too! I have commuter-rage though and standing on the escalator is the equivalent of cutting me off in traffic, I suppose.

There isn't always a stairs option, and sometimes I don't want to stand on a very long escalator forever. Think Angel tube station in London. Or I am very busy and important!

In my city which I've already talked shit about elsewhere on Jezebel so I won't continue by name, very few people seem to understand this concept. Good luck making the train when you can hear it pulling up to the station! This is why we will never be world class, Rahm.

Oh god maybe so. Maybe I'm the jerk. I just thought it was more like a passing lane here, so you pass on the left? Can we apply traffic laws to escalator laws?

I think just a general rule "if you have left via the only exit of a thing, you need to not stand in it" for all of society. That and the no standing on the left of escalators are really the only rules we need.

Honestly it's really primarily escalators that commuters use, so in train stations and sometimes airports. Everyone has places they need to be quickly. I'm going to confess that I have stood in the left on a mall escalator, and it felt luxurious.

AGHGHHHDHHHH.

I'm with you on everything except the escalators. Stand to the right!!!

Cupcakes will never die in Chicago. Once we decide we like a trend we never, ever let it go.

Exactly! And it will be business as usual except a little worse, because she also needs to be punished in some way for leaving. It's all about control.

That's something I wish I had! Smartphones have solved so many of my random sorta-stalker problems, although so far I have not had any need for anything like that (I don't really go out late to bars/clubs anymore and I have a partner, so I don't really talk to guys to the point where numbers would be exchanged either)…

It didn't scare me that much at the time (I was more like WTF can't wait to get out of this cab) but I do have anxiety around cabs now. I usually follow my route on Google maps and always carry pepper spray if I know I will be taking a taxi that evening. I have never had a bad experience since that one though, and…

I think the squirrel wasn't what deterred me so much as the idea that it would be appropriate to show off pictures of yourself covered in squirrel blood to impress women you've just met. Maybe it's his screening process though!

I can't believe I forgot about the taxi driver! It was a really long ride, because sometimes the restaurant I worked at wouldn't close until 2 and public transport that late wasn't really safe. We were having a nice chat when all of the sudden he starts asking me if I'd like to go to his house. As if that's not WTF…

I am shaking my fist at the sky as I type! :/

I know someone who had a lengthy relationship and child with someone who catcalled her out of a moving car, so I have to think the dick pics must also have worked at least once.

In the same college town, there was also the waiter I foolishly gave my number to who called and left me angry voicemails every month (after the initial month's 2x daily calls died down) for about a year. I didn't know you could block numbers and had just changed my phone number, so I just went with the handy "DO NOT…
