[LETTERS TO THE EDITOR]Quit elbowing me

Published: 26 Feb. 2004, 22:10

Whenever I take a train, I have a war of elbows on the armrest between seats. It is because one person tries to hog the armrest for himself.
I would like to suggest some etiquette for travelers, for everyone’s sake.
First, let’s try to use the armrest at the end of each seat as much as possible. If you want to use the armrest in the middle of the seats, it would be better to politely ask the passenger sitting next to you.
When using the armrest between the seats, you should try to ensure that the other person doesn’t feel discomfort. I suggest these small efforts to in consideration of others, so that they will have good memories of their trip.
