Is courtesy dead....

Is there courtesy left in this world? I believe it's here, but getting more and more limited in not only quantity, but quality. Today I was sitting on the bus commuting into the city, as always, and the ahem....gentleman....I really HATE using that word, but I will...the person sitting next to me decided not only to take up 1.5 seats (I'm a size 4 so I was squished against the window), but put his elbow out and kept poking me with it! REALLY! REALLY! After about 15 minutes of it, I said, "EXCUSE ME SIR! You are POKING ME WITH YOUR ELBOW"...do you know he didn't stop? Really!!! I can't believe he wasn't embarrassed! I know he understood me because the Smart Phone he was reading was in English. He just didn't give a CRAP about anyone else's comfort and did his GUY thing (sorry some of you guys who don't) where they spread their legs open when they sit and sit on half your side and continued to poke me in the side with his elbow every time the bus moved. SO I HUFFED - and I got a BOOK, hardcover of course, out of my bag and put it right there at my side against his elbow. Do you know he continued to do it and worse??? OMG - if I had been sitting more towards the front of the bus, the bus driver would have gotten an earful, but I really wanted him to pay attention to the road and not my gripes. I have decided that if this JerkFace decides to sit next to me again and pokes me, I'm going to poke HIM every time he pokes me and then, I'm going to file a harassment and violence complaint against him with the bus company and the police. I'm just so sick of this bull - and I cannot believe that he wasn't so embarrassed by me being loud that he continued to do it! ARGH!!!

So what could I have done any different???

Thanks for listening...
