Colleagues can get used to that. What happens when you're on a train or bus?

It doesn't seem to be an issue. When I get to my seat, people tend to get up and they sit elsewhere. They really don't have to, but it's a friendly gesture.

@rene for some reason, that got me thinking of that old quote...

> Things are a mess fer ya 'cause ya think time an' space are objective things. Y'now how time seems down when y're waiting? Fact is, time is simply a creation of your human consciousness. What is there ain't no human beings anywhere in the world? Wouldn't clocks and calendars be a waste?

user202362

@rene maybe subconsciously, you think Bart should be a bus driver instead?

Derpy

> Maybe there ain't no such thing as time that flows in one direction from the past to the future, and never was dontcha think, ma'am? Human beings are slipshod to begin with, so there ain't nothing strange 'bout time being slipshod too. If ev'rything was all hunky-dory then THAT'D be weird! The only certain thing is the present, that just keeps flowin' like this. Ain't that the best way to think 'bout it?

... I should probably re-watch that movie.
