Weird bus activity

I've started noticing this guy on the bus who clearly has no respect for personal space.

There are two sets of seats on the bus that face each other, like a booth in a restaurant. The one set of seats faces the front of the bus.  The other seats face the back of the bus, creating a really awkward situation where you're stuck sitting directly across from a complete stranger.  99% of people sit in these seats as a last resort, when there's no other place to sit.

Everyone, that is, except this one guy.

At first I thought it was a sneaky strategy to prevent someone from sitting across from him, ensuring a bus ride unfettered by someone sitting next to you. But no -- he's just nuts.

In fact, a woman got on the bus the other morning and sat in one of the seats, and even though the bus was 85% empty, he actually sat across from her -- this is the bus equivalent of being in a bathroom stall,and someone comes in and takes the stall RIGHT next to yours, even though it's a big public bathroom and there's plenty of empty stalls.

See how it unfolds!

Woman gets on the bus, sits in her seat:




Other people get on the bus and take the next available seats:



But then this guy gets on and where does he sit?  Check it out. What's the deal?!?  He sits in that same seat every single morning, without exception.
