Another annoyance on the metro

Yesterday morning I sat on the metro and by the second stop someone sat next to me. Not sure why he had to sit next to me when there were empty seats everywhere, but he did. Every metro rider knows the rules that if the metro isn't packed then don't sit next to someone if there are empty seats around you? WTF- basic silent rule of riding the metro...god! So this guy sits next to me and starts crowding my space while pushing and getting stuff out of his bag, then he proceeds to kick back and rest his legs on the bar in front of me. WTF. So I am feeling a bit claustrophobic- like I am trapped by his bag and legs. Then...it gets better. He starts hacking and coughing and doesn't even cover his mouth. Does this guy have no manners? WTF So, I got up and stood the rest of my metro ride. He was just annoying and grossing me out, I just couldn't take it anymore - I had to get out of there and fast! WWWP? I know this person may not have seemed all that bad compared to some of the people that ride the metro, but for some reason this guy hit a nerve!
