seat hog
Public transit nuisance
A seat hog is someone who takes up more space than their share, especially on public transportation or in shared seating areas—spreading legs wide, placing bags on adjacent seats, or otherwise preventing others from sitting.
The term implies selfishness or obliviousness to others' needs: The seat hog had his stuff spread across three chairs.
