I spent a large part of yesterday on a long coach journey. I was one of the first on the coach and towards the end of everyone getting on all the window seats were taken and those now getting on were having to choose where they were sitting.
Many weren't just taking the nearest seat to the door and sitting down, but instead walking past numerous empty seats out of choice. They therefoe are making sterotyping decisions of what it would be like to sit next to the person that already has the window sit for the next few hours.
So heres the question. If you were to get on a train or coach and all the seats were taken except the one next to the following people, where would you sit for the next few hours of your life?
a) Middle age business man with laptop and mobile
b) A teenage goth
c) Very attractive young woman
d) Fat man asleep but slightly overlapping two seats
e) Male university student with ipod
f) Blind man and his guide dog
g) Someone you think you recognise from your school days but not 100% sure
h) Young mother with cute two year old
i) Elderly talkative lady with knitting
j) Man wearing the football shirt of the team you support
k) Man wearing the football shirt of your teams rivals
l) 10 year old kid forced to sit seperate from his dad and younger brother
m) A drunk soundly asleep at the moment
n) Minor celebrity you admire
o) Very attractive young man
p) An unattractive member of the opposite sex around your own age
q) Old man that smells of cabbage
r) The nearest seat to the door no matter who you would be next to
well like to think c) ... though due to aforementioned intimidation and being able to increase chances... quite possibly p)
btw they werent necessarily stereotyping.. people may be walking past individual seats on the off chance they find a window seat.. then after realising it wont happen, sit down anywhere.
