people who need their umbrella to walk down the stairs to a train are all stupid. I inevitably get stabbed in the eye by some slut in front of me, and then dumped on by some swine behind me as they close their umbrella.

When someone who is a bit, let's say, "wide" (not overly so, just like a bit hippy or something) is sitting in a seat on the bus or metro.... And when you sit in the empty seat next to them, and your leg or hip is touching theirs because of the fact that their "person" is passing their alloted personal space area...and then THEY look at YOU like YOUR the one who is taking up more than your alloted space! This happened to me yesterday. The chick kind of gave that annoyed sigh and shifted herself and her bag so that we weren't touching.

Yeah, lady, get a car if its an issue.

I refuse to sit next to fatties. I'd rather stand.

The old woman who sat next to me on the train this morning took her shoes off and was massaging her feet.

Speaking of which, I don't really understand foot massages. My feet are incredibly ticklish and I don't like them to be touched.

You should have asked her to massage your feet too, while she was down there.

It wasn't a down there. She had her ankle up on her knee. I wouldn't have minded if her foot wasn't right next to me.

See mine aren't ticklish at all. In fact no where on my body is ticklish

That's like my girlfriend. She's like a marsupial that doesn't know enough that things should be uncomfortable. She's not ticklish, and oddly she can touch her own eyeballs like its nothing. Just get her finger on them like you would touch any other part of your body. It's so bizarre.

Perhaps normal is somewhere between your two extremes?
