Sound Transit: Guys, stop 'manspreading' on the train | Local & Regional | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News | KOMO News:
SEATTLE -- People who ride public transportation are fed up with a male behavior they consider rude and crude.
They even have a name for it: manspreading.
Complaints are on the rise about men taking up too much space on trains and buses, and some local passengers say they've noticed the growing problem of manspreading.
"He's spreading himself across two or three seats so that other people, if it's crowded, don't have anywhere to sit," said bus rider Xana Vegsundvaag.
Vegsundvaag believes some men feel entitled to take up more space, which hurts other riders.
One male train passenger was unapologetic about spreading out over two seats.
"I have this amount of space.
I like this amount of space, can I keep this amount of space?" said Isaac Wenze.
While some men have claimed it's a matter of male comfort, Wenze said he just wants to protect his personal space.
