The Art of Seat-sharing Avoidance

Audio : Listen
Let me warn you first, I was getting real bored after a long meeting when I wrote the following... expect some rubbish from me.... read on. :)
On the daily commute back home from work, I can see a lot of this happening. Sometimes it gets real irritating to see this happening.
I have put together an unofficial list of what some people do to achieve what I call the "Art of Seat-sharing Avoidance". Be it sharing a seat next to theirs, giving up their seats for others (e.g. pregnant ladies, elderly, etc.), people certainly have a way of avoiding them!
*Please note: This list is definitely NOT EXHAUSTIVE!*
1. Be in 'eternal' sleep mode when on the MRT/bus. (**This kind of people usually do not fail to wake up on time for their stop. Oh, and they can still jive and bob their heads to the music piping through their headsets!**)
2. Always sit in the middle of the row of seats when on the MRT. Let those sitting at the sides give way! :)
3. Look lian-ish or beng-ish. Whenever someone nears your seat, give them the killer stare, sit with your kar-kwee-kwee.
4. Talk non-stop on your mobile phone while looking in opposite direction of the person. (This usually goes with Point 6.)
5. Have really bad BO or bad breath.
6. Have a bag (schoolbag, marketing bag, any bag!) placed on the chair, covering almost half of the other seat. How the hell is people going to sit?
7. Be real sweaty (very visibly) and start cleaning yourself non-stop.
8. Put a packet of tissue on the seat next to you (Haha! Ok, I admit I am running out of ideas here. So, just a dig at the Raffles Place tissue culture!)
9. If you are a guy, sit with your fly undone (don't blame me if you get arrested for this!).
10. If you are a lady with good 'frontal assets', wear a top with a seriously plunging neckline. (You will notice all the chee-kor-peks crowding around your seat instead of sitting beside you.
Ok, enough yakking liao, better stop before I go koo koo...hah!
