Subway Seats

On Friday evening, after a day of running about the office, I actually decided it would be nice to sit on the way home. So I noted a partially empty seat, with a woman on one side and a guy on the other spilling over onto the vacant seat in the middle with his unfolded WSJ. So I waddled over and pointed at the semi-vacant seat and asked "may I sit down?"
The guy folded down his paper, looked dead at me and said "there's no room."
The woman on the other side had the decency to look shocked and glared at him, but certainly didn't offer to get up.
Need I mention that these were the 3 seats on the train prominently designated as reserved for the elderly/disabled/someone-with-a-reason-to-sit-other-than-sheer-laziness?

I hope you sat down anyway.
