Good grief...I had an experience with man spreading once. Way back when I could physically back up my mouth, I was working on a drilling rig that required the crew make a 1 to 1.5 hour drive out of town to get to the work site. There was this tall lanky guy that worked on the crew and being the worm, I had to sit next to him...why was the newbie(the worm) made to sit next to him on the trip out and back? He had a real bad case of man-spreading as we rode to work.
I had asked him a couple of times to not hog so much space but I guess he just refused to help himself. The last time I had to tell him to stop I phrased it something like...if you don't stop hogging up so much space I'm going to shove you MF'ing ass out the window. The window was down a few inches. I guess that settled in on his pea brain because he stopped doing it.
He really should have had more respect of his fellow travelers.
DC...take it from someone who has experienced the wrath of Mike the forum moderator...if you tick him off he will boot you from the room. Being the worst case of the kind of person who will push the limits, I get your position with the "libtard" word. There's few of us left in here and I like hearing from you...would be a shame not to have you here...you may want to let that slide and abide by the request he made.
Just a cautionary note...do as you please, of course...but...
