💨 Abstract

The article discusses the phenomenon of "edgers," commuters who sit in the aisle seat, leaving the window seat empty, which frustrates others who need to stand. This behavior, while annoying, is often driven by a desire for personal space. Some commuters have varying reasons, from discomfort with being "boxed in" to outright selfishness. Users on social media have debated this issue, with some advocating for politeness and compromise, while others criticize the selfishness of edgers.
