the leg-spreader.

You've all met him several times—perhaps even several times within one day, if you're unlucky. He's the guy with his legs spread so far apart he's spilling into three seats at once.

Now, I understand that guys have junk. And even though I don't have have this junk, I can understand how it might get uncomfortable sitting in one position for a long time with one leg very close to the other, especially in a sweltering train car. But for the love of Jesus Christ, is it really necessary to spread your legs that far?? The other night, I was reduced to nearly half of my seat because the guy sitting next to me wanted to pretend he was using his knees to hold a yardstick. Sure, he was a bigger dude, but if your stuff is really that annoying, can't you just stand up instead of making those sans scrotum so uncomfortable? Pisses me off.
