So this week my roommate and I attended a game night at a a friend's house. When we arrived, the guys were just finishing up watching football game. So my roommate and I sat on the couch to wait until the game was over and we could begin the game night. I was sitting on the end of the couch so that there was maybe 6 inches between myself and the arm of couch.
A very large young man sitting in a chair across the room from us suddenly jumped up out of his chair and came over to try and sit on the couch. Did I mention a very large young man, larger than the 6 inches between me and the end of the couch. Hence he ended up sitting mostly on my lap. I looked at my roommate and we burst out laughing because it was rather entertaining. He didn't even acknowledge that he was sitting on me! I scooted out a little bit so that I was now mostly sitting on my side squished between my roommate and the large person who was still not even noticing anything but the football game. Other people in the room were giving him odd looks of disbelief, but he appeared to be oblivious to everything and everyone around him.
Now, this was a bit uncomfortable for me. I have a large bubble in which I don't particularly like people I don't know invading. In retrospect I should have unwedged myself from my seat on the couch and taken his chair, but the idea did not occur to me at the time. I remember thinking that it was a strange situation and he wouldn't seriously keep sitting there once he realized that there was already a person there! Finally, after the game when he still didn't move one of the other guys in the room asked him to move back to his chair and he got all grumpy about having to move.
