A man dressed in a business suit walks onto a crowded suburban commuter train. He sees no place to sit until he notices a passenger next to an empty window seat. He walks up to the male passenger and says in a polite voice, “Excuse me, Sir. The train is very crowded. Do you mind moving in so I can sit down?”

The passenger explodes in rage and spits out these words, “You over-pompous, over-privileged [idiot]!” An argument ensues in which the polite man defends his right to be polite.

This incident was witnessed by a friend the other day.
