I come to office by the shuttle bus service provided by my company. It’s a small 14 seated, Tempo Traveler kind of vehicle. It is normally a very short journey. It takes around 20 minutes to reach office.
It has been happening recently, by chance, that I am having the pleasure of occupying a seat next to a gentleman in his 40s, I guess.
In effect I am the victim of this whole thing and unfortunately I board the bus at the last pickup point and it seems every one else is aware of his demeanor and the only place, in the bus, left for me is next to this gentleman [LOL].
Following is a snapshot of what this gentle man does.
This gentleman hopes to make full use of his time in the bus so he brings with him his News Paper, typically The Hindu. The Hindu is definitely a nice paper, but this gentleman, I doubt. Throughout his, although short, twenty minute, journey to office he will keep turning leaves of the News Paper, around 3.5 feet by 2.5 feet in size, and in the process he will keep brushing his shoulders against, poking people on his either sides by his elbow and keep adjusting himself so as to position the paper in a readable position. To worsen the situation if he doesn’t get enough room to turn the leaves he will grunt and make low sounds.
This is causing discomfort to whomsoever sitting on his either sides. He does not notice or fails to notice or does not want to notice is beyond my comprehension.
God save us from such commuters.

As he is no gentleman, take the law in your hand. Next time he grunts, you make a howl. World is full of such selfish idiots.
