Jingthing Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) I like to keep up on the global trends in micro and macro LEG aggressions and localize them to our glorious Pattaya baht buses. So the topic today is MAN SPREADING. Scourge or plague? 25 satang for your thoughts? In case you've been living in a cave on the dark side and don't know what MAN SPREADING is: http://www.npr.org/2014/11/23/366084646/mta-targets-man-spreading-and-other-subway-faux-pas Men spreading is this, like, weird thing that men do where they start to spread their legs, and they can sometimes take up two or even three - if they're an exceptionally good man spreader, they can take up three seats.

chickenslegs Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) If "lady spreading" becomes popular I might start using the baht buses again.

Minnie the Minx Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Pass the popcorn. If you are standing near a male spreader taking up two seats, sit on one of his legs, slip your arm around his neck, look deeply into his eyes and say 'Hello hansum'. That should sort him.

MaeJoMTB Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) If you are standing near a male spreader taking up two seats, What if it's a fat guy taking up two seats? or worse, a fat sweaty guy taking up two seats and dripping on you?

whitemouse Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 'man spreading' is the latest non issue manufactured by Social Justice Warriors. But on the bright side - they make themselves look ridiculous, people are catching on, and SJWs and their causes are becoming a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoon Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) So many planet killers here. Tsk tsk. The appropriate retaliation is to move as close to them as possible while standing. (The spread legs facilitate this.) You then have the option of presenting them with a facefull of crotch, arse, or for the more demure, thigh. Do not make eye contact or show the slightest disapproval because, like them, you are completely unaware of their existence or their personal space and totally lacking in empathy. If they say anything about your "invasion", smile sweetly and explain nicely that: A It's because there's no room on the bench. or B You thought they were trawling.

Jingthing Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Aw shucks. The pub. Pattaya baht bus man spreading goes PRIME TIME. Who knew? Well, anyway, got to adapt to the times, seeing as this MAN SPREADING topic has now gone NATIONAL ... feel welcome to share your 25 satangs on MAN SPREADING on all kinds of public transport, all over Thailand. If you don't know, baht buses are what Songthaews are called in PATTAYA. If visiting Pattaya, the fare is TEN baht. Perhaps people would like to post PICTURES of cases of MAN SPREADING in Thailand? If so, great, but could you please BLACK OUT THE FACES before posting? Edited January 18, 2016 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverSure Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 "I don't use baht buses ... instead I'm killing the planet with my private vehicle (8 votes [53.33%])" Strange. I thought it was baht buses that were killing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 My man spreading-DAR had been activated. I wasn't really looking for it before, but on the baht buses, it is DEFINITELY the MALES that are doing it, and the FEMALES ain't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Why would a female want to spread her legs on a baht bus? To relax? The funny thing about the "outrage" over man spreading is that it doesn't seem to matter if there is really a space issue at the time, or not. A lot of people just want to dump on men as being pigs. Sure men ARE often pigs, women are often pigs as well in perhaps different ways, but it seems to me MAN SPREADING is only an issue if they are really cramping other people's space. I don't mind if people spread out on public transport as long as they are AWARE of others who might want to share that space, and are quick to OPEN that space when things get more crowded.

peeba7 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 All men all over the world, takes tact and diplomacy to both maneuver and navigate and to get the space you rightly deserve. I am sure someone on here will have the advice you need, let us know what works, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
