Dude, if they're really that big, you might want to see a doctor

While the Orange Line gets giant shrimp, the Red Line gets this guy who had to give the boys some proper aeration. Katia snapped his photo this morning.

Classic Mansitting
Classic "my balls are too big for one seat" mansitting pose.
Vs. Classic Women Sitting
"My Arrs is too big for one seat."
You may want to look at the
You may want to look at the photo again. It's of a man.
Every time I see a man
Every time I see a man sitting like that I assume he's over-compensating.
Bozos do this
So annoying when Bozos do this. I am a male, and I can tell you, there is no need to sit with one's legs so far apart as to take up three seats on the T. It's an affectation. It's pure pretension. Like people who straddle chairs backwards, if that's even still done.
Bonus Points
He gets into an argument with a standard-size woman who insists she has a right to sit there, and calls her a "fat bitch" even though he's the one who can't seem to fit in a single seat.
As rude as he is, he's doing
As rude as he is, he's doing you a favor with this. Do you really want to sit so close to a person like that, even on the subway? Thanks, I'll just stand. Over here.
There's no point in even getting into the "what if it was someone who needed the seat because they are elderly or infirm" discussion, as that kind of behavior is rare among the vast majority (but not all, mind you) of MBTA riders.
I actually snapped the photo.
I actually snapped the photo. Funny enough, before this bloc opened, he shoved himself into the middle seat next to me. I think he thought I would move over a little, but eff that, guy. Anyway, as soon as those three opened up he dashed across the aisle.
Kick Me
Where is one of those "Kick Me" signs when you need it?
Was this guy
perchance completely bald, wearing glasses, duck-walk?
Because a few years ago my work kicked a guy out for sitting with his legs spread this way in areas where prolonged sitting wasn't allowed. A quick investigation of his odd behavior turned out he wanted to make sure ALL the ladies could see his bulge clearly.
He was added to the "Do Not Allow In" list.
Doublewide
If it don't fit, don't sit. This guy is an armpit.
I give the guys props
for not putting his Dunkie's plastic cup into another Styrofoam one.
He should be paying 3x the
He should be paying 3x the normal fare for taking up 3 seats.
So
we should be charging fat people more too, right?
Financial incentive to be
Financial incentive to be healthy and eventually not pass healthcare costs off to the rest of us. Fat isn't a protected class.
Not logical
"He should be paying 3x the normal fare for taking up 3 seats."
Not that I like what this guy is doing, but by your logic people who have no seat should pay nothing. Unlike an airplane, the T does not charge for how many seats one does or does not take up.
You're kidding right? RIGHT?
You're kidding right? RIGHT?
And this is why I always
And this is why I always stand. That way you can air yourself out and not take up too much space.
Stand Up and Dance!
I always stand up on the T so that I can dance to House Music playing on my earphones. It's great exercise and makes for a very enjoyable ride, especially on the Blue Line!
More pressing questions...
Do they drag in the snow? Do they swing to and fro? Can he tie them in a knot? Can he tie them in a bow?
Hey now
I do this.. why? so some gross person doesn't sit next to me. And yeah my nuts are big too.
Seriously tho, the seats are just too small. if you're not a pole in shape, you end up being squished next to someone.
I can't count how many times I've gotten up because someone who looks like they don't bathe or use a deodorant regularly.
I'm sorry.. I've gotten critters TWICE from riding the T. (Sorry folks, have a laugh at my expense, but this is no joke.)
I think you've put your finger on it
He needs the airflow for the Kwell to dry.
Less a big ball thing than a space thing, I think
The fact that he's in the middle seat and all spread out poitns to him not wanting to share space.
I don't either, which is why I stand.
I'm guilty of this behavior on park benches sometimes b/c people have no sense of personal space. If i'm on a bench relaxing try ot find your own, don't sit right next to me.
Happens all the time.
I just get up and move and find another empty bench.
It's not that hard folks.
Not cool behavior on the T though. some people need to sit and hogging 3 seats is BS.
Here's a hint
Don't sit in public spaces if you can't share. You get it on the T, but not in a park?
Hate to break it to you....
but public bench means just that. Someone besides yourself is also allowed to sit.
Cripes.
No excuse
To resort to machinations like spreading one's legs across thee seats
because one doesn't want to sit next to someone else on the T (or a park bench for that matter)is the height of arrogance and entitled behavior. Believe me, as a daily rider I see how gross some people on the T are. But that's still no excuse for taking up three seats. Just stand if you don't want to sit next to the skanks.
Sounds like you probably
Sounds like you probably shouldn't even be spending time in Boston. Just move to the suburbs where you can sit on a lawn chair on your own property and sit in your own car to and from work/shopping.
I didn't say people weren't allowed to sit
I'll move myself to get my own space.
Born and raised in Boston, thank you very much.
Yes, I prefer to sit on my own bench in my own thoughts when in the Public Garden or own the Mall. Call me crazy. If all other benches are taken by all means join me or knock yourself out and I'll be on my way.
You're the people i'm tryong to avoid. Probably the same types that can't give a little space in a checkout line or who plop down right next to someone else on an otherwise empty beach.
Nice.
First you invite people to sit by you but say you will leave when they do and then you say, cripes, the nerve of some folks to plop down right next to you on a public bench.
Ethics Question
Granted, the a-hole is taking up too many seats. But what is the ethical difference between a woman taking this shot and some guy taking an up the skirt shot?

Does this photo titilate you?
I think that's the primary difference. That and the fact it illustrates an annoying behavior, whereas the corresponding illustration with a perv would be a photo of the perv taking the photo, not of his victim.
Agreed
I knew an answer to the question before I asked it, but I asked it anyway. I was just wondering what some folks might say in response. Since you, Adam, responded first - and said what I think is the best answer - I'm satisfied.

Hey Adam, I think Titillate has a pair....

Public Display
If a woman was wearing a skirt and sitting like this, I think that's fair game.
Upskirt shows something that is NOT on public display.
