A bus driver in Chicago told me my backpack was blocking the aisle

He said 'Hey, keep it on your lap, you're taking up a whole seat.' I started wearing it on my front and now I get on and off way faster. Anyone have other quick tips for not being 'that person' on a crowded train?

Yeah, wearing it on your front is a total game changer... I started doing that after getting a dirty look from an old lady. Another thing is to take it off before you even step on the bus, so you're not wrestling with it while people are waiting behind you. It just makes everything smoother for everyone.

Ever think about how much noise a swinging backpack makes in a quiet bus aisle? That clunking against every seat really grates on people. Front wearing solves that audio annoyance too.

Doubt it's that deep, people need to chill about minor sounds.
