How To Sit on a Bus

So I was going on a trip to Portland recently, and took the Bolt bus. I am awful at sitting still or upright like a normal adult. I got a seat next to this smelly child who kept farting. I sat like a normal person for about ten minutes.
 When I was in high school I broke my tail bone, so it tends to ache sitting in certain ways, so I pull my leg up, and the kid looks over at me like, "Really? Even I'm sitting still." So I try to sleep.
 When we hit the first stop the smelly kid got off and I expanded to the seat next to me, with my arm up on the window.

I fidgeted, and put one leg up on the arm rest. That worked for a while.
 I gave up. Like, completely. I just bent in half and fell asleep. When I woke up the couple across the aisle from me were looking at me surreptitiously, and I'm pretty sure the girl took a picture.
 On the way back I went back to the leg up, fell asleep, and woke up with my leg fully on the armrest, curled over it. The guy next to me looked fairly uncomfortable.
