Today, in an effort to make new friends in my history class, I sat in the empty seat next to a friendly-looking guy. He got up, walked away, and sat down in a different seat. FML

Today, I decided to make new friends, so I sat with the lonely guy at lunch. Now he keeps following me, with his phone in a camera position. FML

Today, I went to a movie with this guy. He was late so the only seats available were the ones in the very front which he refused to sit in. As we were looking for two seats, he spotted one near the back and sat down, leaving me to sit by myself in the front. FML

It wasn't a prank, I swear

Today, I asked my friend to come sit next to me in class. I pulled out the chair next to me. Coincidentally, she started to sit at that same moment. Now both she and my teacher are convinced I did it on purpose, and they want to have a talk with my parents. FML

Today, in an effort to avoid having the same break as my annoying coworker, I went a little earlier than I usually do. Guess who got moved to a position with an early break? She sat next to me. FML

Today, I was sitting next to this cute guy on an airplane who I had started talking to. There was still an empty seat between us and it seemed like there weren't any more passengers boarding the plane. I then asked out loud, "I wonder if anyone will sit between us?" He replied "I hope so." FML

Today, I went to a conference for work. When I got there I sat beside a woman about my age. She immediately got up and moved to the opposite side of the room. We were the only two there. FML

Today, a student came in late to class, and there were only a couple of seats available. I waved her over offering her the seat beside me with the quip, "It's OK, you can sit by me. I don't smell or anything." I realized after she sat down that she actually did. FML

Today, we got new seats in class today. The guy placed next to me, turned, looked me dead in the eye, and said, "The balls are the warmest place on the body" while his hands were in his pants. I'm stuck next to him for the rest of the semester. FML

Today, I went to a school football game alone. I sat next to these hot girls. To seem cool, I picked up my phone and had a fake conversation with the coolest guy in the grade. Halfway through, he came over and talked to the girls. FML

Today, I was riding the bus home from school. I was sitting by myself, and my backpack was occupying the seat next to me. A hot girl boarded the bus, and was standing right where I was sitting. I placed my backpack on my lap, freeing up the seat. The girl stood the entire bus ride. FML

What an ass. Clearly, looks can be deceiving. Next time go sit next to the pitbull-looking guy.

Follow him and be a creeper, but make it look really obvious. When he starts talking to you, spaz out and act like a weirdo. But FYL, wait a bit and people will start talking to to you.

You know the rule, OP: If you can't see the creepy person in class, it's you.

If you are both guys it could have creeped him out? Hard to tell if ur a guy or girl on the App. Maybe he had a tummy issue. Really you just never know.

So what? You sat next to someone you don't know and didn't even say hello. Other people are allowed to want their own space. Perhaps he was even saving the seat for someone else, and instead of telling you to get lost, simply chose to move to an open area.

If you're a girl, try being hot next time and then the guy will have no issues. In my first Finance tutorial of the semester a while back this total hottie sat right next to me. And then she offered me some nuts that she had. Lol. Maybe bring nuts next time.

Several people have said they think sitting next to someone you don't know (in class) is creepy, or that you should say something first. Normally I'm the one who is excessively creeped out by things (I like my space), but I don't really see that as being creepy or even remotely out of the ordinary. I mean, after 5 semesters of college classes, I've had so many random people sit by me without so much as glancing at me that I barely even notice. The only way I'd consider it creepy is if it was close seating, like auditorium style. But if it's in a regular classroom, with desks, with aisles between them? They're still like two feet away, so who cares? Now, if it was auditorium-style seating, then I agree, sitting right next to someone when there are open seats is a bit weird.
