Personal Space

Him: Can I help you with something?

Me: Probably not.

-Silence.

Him: Are you sure? Because...

Me: Whatever do you mean?

Him: There's plenty of other seats...

Me: No, there are plenty of other seats.

Him: What?

Me: Oh, nothing.

Him: On the train I mean - the train's empty.

Me: You're right.

Him: Yes, and you sat right here. Beside me.

Me: Right again.

Him: Well, why not somewhere else?

Me: I sat here so I could correct your grammar.

Him: What?

Me: Forget it. Anyway, what's so wrong with sitting here?

Him: There's a hundred other seats!

Me: But this one's made for two...

-Silence.

Him: Never mind - I'll move.

Me: Suit yourself.
