Morning Commute: Standing in the Aisle

Why, when people get on the bus, do they stand in the middle of the aisle?  Its clear that there is a ton of space on the back of the bus and at busy times, people are pouring onto the bus. Why do you have to make me shove past you with my bag whacking everyone so you can stand in the aisle at the very front. Hey, if the bus is packed, I get it, there's nowhere to go. But when the entire back of the bus is empty, can't you just move back (or at least not give me a look of death when I shove by you)?

See, I don't have a choice where I can enter, it has to be at the front, so the bus can collect my payment (using the aforementioned Charlie Card). But there are three exit doors. You can exit through any of them, including the one in the back. So please, just move towards the back of the bus, where its empty. I will follow you so the person behind me doesn't have to shove through both of us to let the person behind him get on the bus at all.
