Apparently, when Scots come to London, they're not afraid of losing sight of each other - while the English act as if nothing was there around them, they're the only ones acting like normal human beings :P

However, suppose upon boarding such transportation you sit next to someone else, then later a lot of people disembark. Would it be considered best to stay where you are, or move to a seat with no neighbors?
Whoooaaa! Slow down their buddy! If you get into such a position, you have already made the wrong choices.

Firstly, when you have to sit next to somebody, it is customary to offer them a mint, or failing that, a business card, as a show of good will. This will ease future relations. Now that social contact has been made, try complementing them on their confidence in appearing in public looking as they do. They are a hero to be able to walk around with their head up high, what with a face like that! This is called flattery, and will convince them that you enjoy their company. Eventually they will pretend to ignore your comments, this is because your flattery has attracted sexual desire, and they feel too shy to return conversation. You are on the right track! Now is when you should try to nibble their ear, just a little, only using your lips, no teeth. This show of acceptance will leave them feeling both in bliss and awe of your kindness. In order to attempt to return this kindness, they will often stand up and either move to another seat, or just stand for the rest of the trip, to ensure you have all the seat room you need. They care for you, and want to see you happy, so are willing to sacrifice their seat for you.

You can now enjoy the entire seat to yourself!

And now you know.

I would be willing to bet it works.

When boarding a bus, train, or similar public transport, the generally accepted seating algorithm as I understand it is to if possible take a seat where the adjacent seats are empty

Woah, this is, like, "proper polite unspoken etiquette rules that everyone should be aware of"?

I just did that because I didn't want to sit next to people I don't know, cuz that'd be weird. I figured that was also why everyone else did that. In retrospect, it implies that, in my head at least, no one wants to try and meet new people. In other words, everyone's a jerk. Huh. Mental epiphanies of self discovery, ho!
In this case, it's proper because almost everyone wants it that way. Don't worry.

The human body I have at the moment does, and it's quite annoying. I don't think I did before, though.

I probably didn't from what I can remember, but I can't remember most of whst I did without breaking this body's brain and I don't want to do that. So for now I dunno.

Many anime seem to think so.

OK, I think getting back on topic would be a good idea now.
Ah! Another manifestation of the propagative instinct!

I thought my joke about a sex-induced warp-drive was funny. ._.

Hang on, you don't... think?

So you may have? You may have little eldritch abomination babies totting about, wondering where their insanity-inducing father/mother/father-mother is?

That's... a bit of a sad thought, really.

'They didn't want to be insanity-inducing, amoral cosmic horrors, SOCIETY MADE THEM!'
