That's why the seat was open !! In my experience, if it's really crowded and you see an open seat that everyone ignores, the probability that there is something wrong with that seat is really high. Keep your eyes peeled and look for vomit, urine, or test the seat to make sure it's not broken.
Well looks like you got into a sticky situation.
I suggest looking at the seat first OP
Your FML made me uneasy, but your username made me cringe.
