    I don't mind arrogant entitled gits. It's arrogant self-entitled gits that bug me. You can call me "sir" - now I'm self-entitled.

    I think if someone was going to rest their paper on my head and do a puzzle
    I would hope they were doing a sudukio rather than a crossword or a 'spot the ball'.

    plus , if they got stuck, it would only be polite if they asked you first

    Seems reasonable to me, even good manners, that short people should help out us taller types by giving us somewhere to rest things, especially when forced to stand in close quarters.

    Plus he was making more efficient use of the limited space available, and that improves over-crowding as well as saving money.

    So I applaud him.
