I’ve always had a hard time expressing myself, to a fault really.  Sometimes I cannot figure out how to arrange the words properly to tell someone that the way they are sitting next to me in a chair is driving me completely insane.  Things that seem really simple but are not when they are seen from my perspective.

Should I take the cool approach?  “Hey, man, I don’t mean to be a dick but your arm is bothering me, could you scoot it over a bit?”

Should I take the asshole approach?  “I’m trying to get comfortable here but your fucking arm is so plump and filled with mcdonalds that I can’t seem to sit in my chair without being interrupted by a “I’m loving it” commercial.”

Should I take the passive approach?  “Hey…  Could you move your arm a bit?  I’m uncomfortable…”

I usually end up taking none of these approaches and being irritated with my seating.  This spans my entire existence.  How do you solve such a base problem though?  Is there a solution?
