No.
Kids at my high school used to congregate in massive groups right in the intersection of our main hallways or directly in front of doors. This little human obstacle course was one of the most frustrating things about navigating through those hallways: trying to get to class without getting clothes-lined (ok a little bit of an exaggeration).
And now, here I am at college, faced with the same problem. The situation is this - buses. The great thing about buses is that they are equipped with chairs for your riding enjoyment. And yet, people stand. These people stand and clog the aisle and then, when you try to get around them, they act annoyed and refuse to move. Hey. You standing. If you had sat next to me (I promise I don't bite), we wouldn't have this problem. What is it that scares you so? A passing moment of physical contact? It isnt unheard of.
Now, let's pretend that we accept this. In this little hypothetical world, it's ok to stand in front of a row of empty seats. It's your prerogative. Your right as an American. However, it is not ok to forgo the welcoming seats in order to post up in front of the door. In this standing-tolerant world, you are free to stand in the entire aisle that pans before you on either side of the doorway. There are chairs galore for you to ignore. But, there is no need for you to stand in the way of everyone that needs to get on and off before you do. I promise that you will not miss your stop in the time it takes for you to get up out of your chair and make your way to the door. You standing there only makes things worse. So do us all a favor. Man up & sit down.
