I’m 6’2” and 220lbs, and the guy ahead of me was fully reclined the entire time. I could tell my wife was biting her tongue from telling them to fuck off.įor reference, we had taken the same exact bus on the way to Paraty from Rio and it was full. My wife pointed out the other seats again. It was the typical victim role playing to get their way. A few minutes later they asked again, this time they really tried to play up their discomfort. They started mumbling things under their breath in a different language which I feel safe assuming wasn’t polite. Turns out that these girls have probably never not gotten their way. She then pointed out the dozens of empty seats they could move to if they weren’t comfortable. My wife politely told them that she paid extra for this bus so that she could get some sleep. Whatever, their choice.ģ0 minutes after getting back on the road I awoke to them asking my wife to put her seat up. They just decided to sit behind two people whose chairs were fully reclined. I snuck a glance and this wasn’t even their reserved seats. The two girls came and sat directly behind us. The couple sat at the front of the bus far from us. They were all spread out pretty much as far as they could be.Īn hour in we made our only pickup in some random little town. And aside from us there were only 4 other people. The digital display above our seats had reserved written on them. I get terrible motion sickness so we figured having a nap for the 4 hours would help me get through it. We opted to take the more expensive bus line because it had fully reclining seats.

My wife and I were taking a bus from Paraty to Rio. This happened a long time ago when I was traveling through Brazil.
