    Maybe you didn’t catch it. The issue was that there was plenty of room on the bench but the guy wasn’t scooting over, making it difficult for others to get on. In fact, the guys arm is wrapped around the doorframe pretty much signaling that while he knows it’s an inconvenience, he’s still not moving.

      You’re right, I’m blind I thought the bench was full.

          If there werent multiple ways on I’d be more inclined to role with it.

          But this just comes across as everett being a douche to me.

            I rather enjoy this disagreement 🍿

            Would anyone like to question whether Everett’s size is an important factor? I certainly wouldn’t

            Personally, I’m imagining a cute punk chick getting. You definitely move then

              Hell, if everett was saying ‘excuse me’ in the 1st panel it would help convey the comic’s intent better.

                  @grrgyle @thejoker954 Everett True gives no warning and no quarter. He can’t be bargained with. He can’t be reasoned with. He doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear!* And he absolutely will not stop till his victim has been punished in a manner wildly disproportionate to their crime!

                  * except fear of Mrs. True

                  Ive only seen maybe a dozen or so. Non of them seemed ambiguous to me like this one.

                  Everett was either clearly in the right or clearly in the wrong.

                  This one could go either way depending on your read.

              True, but it doesn’t look like everett was satisfied with the empty seat and wants to sit at the ‘window’ seat and expects the guy to give it up to him.

                Do you see the size of him? Climbing over that guy would be difficult. The proper thing to do is move inward when you board so others can get on easier. It’s just a trolley, it’s not like they’re going to be riding for hours.
