I sit like that all the time, my apologies. Not sure why it would bother you when you're sitting opposite them though (or at all, for that matter).

Well if your a girl, you kind of have to do it. Otherwise everyone will be looking up your skirt

That doesn't explain his annoyance when guys do it though.

I hate how movies are so unrealistic, it's like they don't even try to make it half-believable. I'm watching The Day The Earth Stood Still and an alien from miles away somehow speaks and understands English. The alien lands in the centre of New York, of all places NEW YORK!!! I just don't get why they don't try harder to make them realistic. Still a good movie though

He's bi?
nah but in all seriousness, it does look a bit feminine when a guy does it

 

[Off The Couch]

Sorting out my tax stuff - every year I say Im going to file as I go and every year it lands on top of the filing cabinet instead of in it and I then spend hours sorting it out. Drives me nuts and I delay, delay, delay.

When i'm sitting opposite (face to face) the top leg sits closer and always seems to kick me. Train gripes

Fair enough, that would be annoying after a while. My main train etiquette complaint is when women put their giant handbags beside them and it goes on to my seat, it annoys me more than it probably should. Fortunately I very rarely have to use the train.

I hate thongs. Call me unAustralian (and I'll put you on my ignore list) but they are just a shit piece of footwear.

I hate the sound they make when they flick back up and slap the heel.
I hate the shuffling sounds they make as the back drags along the ground.
I hate seeing people's dirty heels from all the dirt that gets flicked back on them.
Especially hate guys wearing thongs.
Jeans with thongs NO WAY!!!

 

[Poseidon]

Also, only real men lady-leg.

On the train i try to make sure i get an aisle seat if it's busy, legs are a tad long to sit normally so i try to make sure i can sit sideways or else i tend to piss off the person opposite me by the fact I take up most of the leg room.

In this hotter weather nearing another thing that shits me, the fact people feel the need to voice their opinion on not wearing proper summer attire. "dude its hot as today why aren't you wearing shorts" shits me to tears I hate the heat but i hate wearing casual shorts just as much. Just can't stand the feeling of not having half my leg covered add in the fact my legs have their fair share of scars and yeah i don't do shorts except for sport or boardies were appropriate.

I'm 6'5" (or 196.5cm if you prefer). I avoid public transport like the plague.

Yesterday the woman next to me had her big bag between her and the wall (instead of the floor or her lap) so she was half sitting on my seat

Agree x10000000. I hate the ****ing things!

Thongs are brilliant.

Taking shoes on and off is an absolute pain in the arse.

They're movies. They're not meant to be real.

Shall every animated movie be hated upon too?

A lot of movies are kind of realistic, just why did an alien land in the centre of NEW YORK!! The alien from outer space spoke ENGLISH!! I didn't mind the rest of the movie though.

All Aliens seem to land in the US and speak English - not just this movie.

If the movie is set in New York, and the alien lands in the Democratic Republic of Congo, I doubt it would make much of a movie. Ditto if the main character wasn't able to be understood by the rest of the characters and the viewing audience. Also it's probably not a good example to use when picking out unrealistic components of a movie given, you know, the entire premise of the story.

Leads me in to something that shits me only a little bit but shits me nonetheless - the countries that feel the need to express the freedom of their citizens in the country's name are the ones least likely to actually practice it.

Not only that, when they fire their intergalactic missiles at Earth, they always seem to target the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, and Big Ben.

I realese this but c'mon just because it's set on NY doesn't mean an alien ship can't land in the Congo. Maybe the ship was attracted to the lights idk. But why can't an alien speak gibberish, that would make a better movie since they couldn't communicate so it could've attacked it could've been anything. Ah well just a movie shouldn't get this worked up haha

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Starship Troopers, best alien (well kinda) movie ever. Not a US landmark to be seen.

What do the bugs blow up? Costa Rica or something? Gold.

Shock and awe campaign. Al Qaeda got a pretty decent response when they attacked the WTC, and I imagine aliens would use similar tactics to get our attention.

It worked for that particular movie, in which Keanu needed to get a message to the human race. I'd say he did his homework and figured the best way to get the message out would be to go to New York and speak in the native accent.

Plus I agree that I'm looking way too far in to this. I have no other work to do today.

The term "Nek Minute" and other stupid trashy slang.

No you are not cool...
