This lil Gawker piece says what I think once a week: when you're on transit, with people all around you, take your fucking giant backpack off or swing it around to the front of your body, so you are aware of it. Otherwise, I literally have to put my hand on your backpack to keep it from hitting me in the face.
This happens to me all the fucking time, and it's always dudes, and it's usually teenagers, but whatever. Pay attention to the OTHER PEOPLE around you. Arg.
Whenever I think about it, I can't help but feel like it's a symptom of people just lacking any real empathy + not giving a fuck about others, which pisses me off more.
I blame Facebook.
