I once had someone lean back his chair until it hit my legs and when he made contact with my legs he repeatedly hit my legs with the chair trying to recline further.
Well tough shit. If the person wants to lean back, that's their prerogative.
You can however, politely ask them not to lean back, however they really do not have to. Unless you are obese or freakishly tall, you have enough room.
By the way, having a backpack in front of you is not a legitimate excuse to get more room.
^you don't lose anything from the person in front of you leaning back if you lean back too. Any space they would have taken is now available to you again, though at a different angle.
I can't believe people actually complain about this. Op, go suck a dick.

im down. i have a feeling op is a little pussy, considering he brought this to omguw and didnt actually say anything on the bus.

O.P just lean back. I agree that people should be courteous and not lean back if they realize the bus is full but if they do, I just push my seat too.
October 20, 2012 at 12:15 PM
It's seriously so rude. There is enough room without moving back
October 20, 2012 at 12:24 PM
I agree with 4, I hate when people lean back on the bus. I would only do that if I knew there wasn't someone behind me.
October 20, 2012 at 12:55 PM
They're made so that there is still a comfortable amount of room for the person behind. If you don't like it, tough.

I am really tall, and hate it when people lean back too.
October 20, 2012 at 1:02 PM
And no, there is not a "comfortable amount of room" when they lean back. That is, unless you don't mind your knees being crushed.

My favourite is when the bus is empty and someone sits in front of you and leans the chair back

I took a bus seat to the knees.

wtf, this is a thing? The person bought a ticket and has every right to lean back.
October 20, 2012 at 3:07 PM
Here's an idea: Lean back too, dumbass.
October 20, 2012 at 4:35 PM
^ Leaning back doesn't give your more leg room you douche.
