This woman really doesn't want anyone sitting next to her. Is there an equivalent of manspreading?

Manspreading is when a man spreads his legs wide and takes over the personal space of another person sitting next to him. This picture is not manspreading, nor its equivalent. This picture is simply a manifestation of a social phenomena called "lack of education".

Don’t see a problem if there are lots of empty seats. And if that’s the case, I’d definitely do the same because the likelihood of someone sitting next to me to make conversation or be weird is greater.

The joke OP was making is that certain behaviors get a gendered moniker, e.g, man spreading or man splaining. OP found an example of such behavior and implied that the impulse to spread out in ways that border on inconsiderate may transcend gender. That’s all.

It’s really annoying when people place their bags on the seat next to them when sitting in an airport gate area. No, your bags do not get their own chair. This behavior never bothered me until I was recovering from knee surgery and often had to ask travelers to move their bag from a seat - only to be glared at like I was somehow inconveniencing them

Have any of you ever been assaulted on the train? I have. Putting your bag next to you is a defense mechanism. You must give off serious creep vibes.

Not commenting on need for consent. Just think it's creepy and rude. Just ask her to move her bag if you need a seat.

C2: Not exactly. You can manspread to prevent or discourage people from sitting in adjacent empty seats. That’s essentially what this woman is doing.

Ignore my title, I'm an analyst.

I've been working here for over a year and my associate basically never does a thing. I get I'm the analyst but I'm the only one on my team. I pull together every page.

My associate does minimal reviewing, if even, usually it goes straight to my vp. And even my vp has pulled pages together.

Is it valid to ask my vp to chat about this? I'm not even expecting a 50/50 but pulling even 1% of the pages would make me not want to shoot myself

Been on a project for 2 weeks and thinking it’s not for me. The manager is kind of rude when I ask for help/direction, but he always says to ask if things are uncertain. He always has this condescending attitude and just keeps telling me that he expects more of someone at my level, C. I just keep feeling anxious that I’m not meeting expectations and feel reluctant to ask for help. Anyone in the same boat?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
