quotation-icon.jpgthis is how to deal with a legspreader [on a subway] if you ever find yourself next to one: place your leg that’s furthest from him [i say him because this is almost always a male] on top of and across your leg that is closest to him so the bottom of your shoe is right next to his leg and if he gets any closer he will have a nice treadmark from the bottom of your shoe. unless they have filthy clothing [ie construction workers] they don’t like this one bit. i never move my leg if they ask me to or say excuse me. i will only move my leg if they de-spread. if they re-spread, i respond in kind. works for me every time.

  1. Speaking of getting a room – I have to go home to hubby…it’s our dancing night.

    And I’m going to follow these directions later:

    ‘place your leg that’s furthest from him on top of and across your leg that is closest to him. so the bottom is right next to his leg and if he gets any closer he will have a nice mark from the bottom. i never move my leg if they ask me to or say excuse me. i will only move my leg if they de-spread. if they re-spread, i respond in kind. works for me every time.’

  2. Do you think people are talking? I hope so!!!
    Everybody, get your minds out of the gutter…it ain’t that way.

    You notice, I’m ignoring some of you posts, sometimes, I AM at a loss for words. It’s like my tongue is tied or tied up.

    We needed DIBS and snark, and cobble to surpirse us all.

  3. At what point do we get told here to “get a room” or, more appropriately, “get a thread”? The level of politeness here is uncomfortable. Where are the faded type guests when we need them?

    Yes, I think I can handle them. Feel free to pull them out and treat me.

  4. I did the re-write about a week ago, but it’s just sitting there….I’m holding out on you.

    I also have something else drafted from about a week ago, you might be interested in reading.

    I’ll try to send them to you.
    If you think you can handle them tonight, I’ll pull them out of my files and give you a treat you.

  5. Biff, Mine on top of yours was better.

    Stop trying to re-write my stuff.

    BTW – I have a re-write for you that I think you would enjoy, not sure if I should send it….interested??
