There are three kinds of people in this world.
- People who get to sit when in a bus
- People who don't get to sit when in a bus
- People who don't travel by bus at all
Now, leaving aside the last category, since that is of no concern to this post, we take the first two.
Of course, the members in these two groups keep changing and/or alternating frequently.
When in a bus, people who sit are in a completely different world to those who stand, and vice-versa. Talking about those who stand.. its like every other passenger in that bus is the enemy. Each and every person standee on that bus has the same thoughts running through his or her head.
"Why did so many people have to come today? It wasn't so full yesterday.."
"Why is he not moving ahead?"
"Why is that guy pushing"
"Why do such FAT women have to travel by bus?"
"Thank god.. a bus stop.. some people will get out now"
"Damn.. there are more people getting in"
"Ouch!!"
"He just stamped my toe!"
"Darn.. that little kid is standing on my shoe lace on purpose"
"Does that bus conductor HAVE to keep moving around?"
As stated before, everyone is everyone else's enemy. They look at each other in a really disgraceful manner, (except if the other person is really hot).
The Battle begins when a sitee opts to become a standee (and eventually leave the bus). Now, as soon as the concerned sitee shows signs of getting up, about six pairs of eyes dart towards him. Now, only 2 people are in the battle. The person standing right beside the sittee , and the person standing either behind or in front of him. Who the person challenges is determined by which direction he moves to let the sittee out. If he moves behind, he challenges the person in front of him, and if he moves in front he challenges the person behind him. The winner is usually determined by the person who manages to jut his leg in first.
So we they all hate each other.. and love too.. since they HAVE to stand each other for those minutes..
There are times when standees are granted the authority to remove a sittee by force. This usually happens when Men sit in Women's seats. Hence Men refrain to do that.
Also OLD people are granted the same authority.
I'm bad at concluding posts. :/

Note
The above theory goes into practice only when THE BUS IS PACKED WITH PEOPLE.
There is no word such as sittee.
