Is this really that hard? I find people are usually quite willing to
move their bags on a full train.

Surely the point is that you shouldn't have to ask? On a crowded
train, anyone who has to be asked to move a bag on the seat next to
them is clearly an antisocial sh*t. Of course, the latest development
is people sitting on the outside seat with their bags on the inside
one, so not only do you have to ask them to move their bag, but they
have to get up to let you in as well, which will usually precipitate
much humphing and grunting. Hanging's too good for them!

But then surely the fun is to need to disturb their comfort again with
a trip to the buffet returning with a menacing mug of something hot.
That precipitates a visit to the loo. You even have to go to get
something out of your luggage. Hours of harmless amusement!

Hahaha, I like your thinking!
