This annoys me as you are entitled to one seat only, not two.
Boozer, had every right to that seat and the person who hogged the seat, was in the wrong.
My only quibble, Boozie is that you expected the driver who was busy driving to intervene. That passenger was in the wrong and maybe you should have sat on his lap, he’d have soon shifted!

With all due respect, just like some others here you have not and are not reading either my opening post or others since properly..
When I first got on that bus the bus had NOT pulled away from the stop when I asked that driver to please ask that passenger to let me through to sit on that seat.
Or for him to move over so I could sit on the seat he was in, thereby blocking my way through.
Other passengers were still getting on the bus at the time.
The driver would not do anything about it, and told me to go sit somewhere else.
Which I did at first.
During the early part of the journey I went over and asked the guy who wouldn't move again to please move and let me sit down.
He then said O.K. and shifted while I sat on the window seat next to him.
It was only at the end of the journey and the bus was STOPPED that I asked the driver for his name, and he wouldn't give it to me.
I was STANDING UP when he closed the door and moved off from the stop I wanted to get off on.
It was only then I decided to video video what was going on.
And as for me trying to sit on his lap?
That would have turned the episode into a physical thing, and I was not about to do that.
