Read this very entertaining post over at Portland Octopus that gives ten tips about how to ride public transportation in Portland. I found tip #9 to be particularly noteworthy:
“9. Your purse/backpack/grocery bag is not a person and therefore is not entitled to sit next to you. Ways to tell if you’re sitting next to a person or inanimate object: Does it have legs and arms, a head or feet? (Person.) Is there a Jansport label sewn on it? (Not a person.) Is it talking? (Person.) Are you sure? (See No. 10.)”
Nice list!

Funny and very true! Sometimes on the Max people will try to take up three seats, one to sit in, one for their feet and another for bags of stuff. This frequently happens when the Max is very crowded of course.
