In my opinion, you shouldn’t feel obligated to sit with them just because you know them. It’s up to you; if you want to sit with them, do it. If not, I think a polite ‘hello’ followed by choosing another seat would suffice

I just become ingrossed in my ipod...

[Andicate]

Oh god. I hate these split-second-decision-making situations. I usually end up sitting next to them, and unintentionally annoying them to death. Ooops!

[lazershus]

depends on how much i talk to the person and also how many other seats are available, if there are no double seats for me to occupy and i'll have to sit next to someone i'll probably sit by them.

i know this is unrelated... kinda but... thought of the best bus ever!!

Knowing me, I'd try and hide and avoid them so as to evade having to initiate any conversation, hoping they didn't see me or even just get off the bus and wait for another one if I wasn't in a hurry.

THAT sounds like a very miranda thing to do

Do people need friends?

it's a select level of friendship that warrants 'the avoid'. the sort of person you've met a few times or more but never directly - they've always been brought along by someone else. like you'd never text them or anything or invite them out but you might have conversed a few times in a group setting

Lol, this.

Sit on their lap.

I guess I'd say hi and then if there's a spare set of seats infront/opposite/behind them I'd sit there or if they moved their stuff so I could sit next to them I'd sit with them. Unless I didn't like them. Then I'd ignore them.

yeah I get you

[Cherriesxo]

Personally I'd smile, say hi and sit near them (behind, or the seat in front, maybe to the side), I'd only sit directly next to them if they told me to. I wouldn't start a conversation with them either unless they initiated it.

I'd probably just say Hi You alright and not wait for the reply sit down and plug my earphones in and pretend to text for the whole journey

Allow that, I'm always listening to my Ipod and I do not like being disturbed. I would only consider starting a conversation if it was with someone who I genuinely liked or hadn't seen in a LONG time.

Depends whether I'm in the mood to chat or not. I look forward to listening to my music on bus journeys, and it kind of ruins it when I have to chat to someone I don't really want to.

One of my friends from high school started blanking me for no apparent reason a couple of years back, and when I finally asked her why she was doing it, it was because I'd only said hi to her on the bus and hadn't gone to sit next to her. I never realised people were so touchy! Sometimes I'm just in no mood to chat!

[glittery snails]

This happens to me fairly often. I'll sit next to them if there are no seats otherwise I'll tend to take another seat because we are not close enough to have things to talk about. Also, we both tend to have our i-pods in but if I do end up sitting next to them I'll take an earphone out so I can hear if they say something.
