  • no biking next to your friend in the bike lane and talking to them
    • short conversations at stoplights are okay
  • on transit, no sitting on the outside seat because you know people are generally too shy to ask if they can take the window seat, therefore allowing you to take up as much space as possible until the train is totally full
    • no saving seats for your real or imaginary friends getting on two stops down
    • and definitely no using your bag to temporarily occupy the seat next to you on a train that will inevitably fill up
    • and no manspreading!!! unless the train is a late train that will be mostly empty...
