The bus
| 
Aug 28 16:29 UTC 1994 |
You get on the bus, and at least one person is sitting in each seat, so
you sit next to someone. Later in the bus ride, a seat 5 or 6 rows ahead
of you opens up (no one is sitting there). Do you get up and move there?

No, unless I forgot my deodorant this morning or my seatmate
did.

why should I? Unless there is a very good reason to move, moving isn't
required

I've always been torn about this one; on the one hand, you're crowding
the person next to you, and they might prefer it if you moved. On the
other hand, they might be insulted or hurt if you moved, taking your
move as a personal rejection of them.

And if you move, the next person who gets on the bus may end up sitting
there and everybody will be right back where they started.

(it's very unlikely that you're crowding someone on the bus by sitting
next to them. I guess I never feel like I'm crowding someone when
I sit next to them on a bus, or when they sit next to me.)

re #8: (very true, but it sounded like there were several options for
seating to begin with. I don't think that all of the available
seatmates fit the (grossly) overweight/overburdened-type. I
know that *I'd* pick the person most visibly comfortable to
sit by.)
