Crotch or A**?

I don't know if it has been mentioned but the official Miss Manners position is ass.

But is that really what she wants, or is she just accomodating Mr. Manner's desires?

I don't know there wasn't much detail given. It could just be that Mr. Manners didn't want to have to look at her strangely puffy lips.

But the only reason I know this is that someone once asked Roger Ebert the question for his Movie Answers Man column and he referred it to her for her opinion. I think it was Miss Manners anyway, I assume all those ettiquette columns are written by just one person as there can't really be more than that many who care.

That is good to know! I will keep that in mind. Thanks!

"Fight Club"?? Didn't any of you see "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls"? "Fight Club" stole it from that movie.

I think it was in the novel "Fight Club". But, it is an age old question. I go which ever way is easiest for me. I find airplane seats to be the most challenging, and I choose which way that I am least likely to fall on someone. But, I usually vote for ass.

Do you really find it easier to move into the row facing the person? Like Euro says below, I find it easier to do the 'scuse-me-shuffle turned away from them, so I can move past and plop into the seat. I give them the ass every time, no debate needed.

Only on exit. If I'm scotting into the row (and by row, I mean two seats next to each other), I always give the ass. But when I exit, I frequently give the crotch. My bag is big and heavy. If i go out ass-ways, I have to lift my bag over my head and it's difficult to keep my balance. If I hold my bag pressed against my right, and behind me, it's easier for me to move if I'm facing the person. I'm not sure why. It just is.

It's not so much a matter of when I decide to give the crotch or the a$$, but how to arrange it so the people I find attractive feel somehow compelled to give me the crotch.

And you don't want to alarm anyone with your package...
