Unbelievably rude man on train

I think you need to be a little more direct. Some people can't see the true meaning if you beat about the bush.......

I know, sorry about that. I knew what I wanted to say but all the flowery language popped into my head, and before I knew it I was off with the meandering sentences and poetic imagery....

I use the train every day and tend to adopt a live and let live approach. There are two bike carriages on most trains (sometimes three) and there are always normal commuters sitting in these seats

I find it mildy annoying people sitting in the fold down seats at the bike spot, but tbh I can see where they're coming from as I doubt I gave it much thought before I took a bike on a train myself, so no point getting too high and mighty about it.

It's not much of a problem to put it opposite or again the doors on the non-opening side. It's only an issue if the drinks trolley turns up, then, if you're bike is blocking the road, whoever it's manned by is generally the first to give whoever's in the bike spot a bollocking.

Doesn't that change from station to station?

There's no excuse for being rude, but there can be a good reason for sitting in the folding seats.

Our local trains have two sets of folding seats (officially space for a wheelchair) and I used to often sit on those seats when I commuted by train I had lower back pain on and off for a few years and this was the only way I could commute to work - I couldn't stand for long, use the 'normal' slouchy low seats on the train (more specifically I couldn't get up from them), drive or use the bus. If they were all taken when I got on the train, I had to get off and wait for the next train.

If it hadn't of been for the folding seats I woudn't have been able to work for months at a stretch.
