People were not impressed
A woman has received backlash online after she refused to give up her bus seat when asked by a pregnant lady. Explaining her story, she says she told the mum-to-be to ask someone else because she was "tired."
In a post on Reddit, in a thread titled 'Am I the A*****?', the woman wrote: "I was coming back home from college using the public transportation as I often do. At my stop there were plenty of seats available, I picked one at the back of the bus near the rear door."A few stops after, a pregnant woman got on. She ignored the first seats and came up to me and asked if I could give her the seat. At the time, the bus was crowded enough [for there] to not be any seats available.
"I think I'm entitled to the seat if I got in before her. But I also don't know if the people in the priority seats were people who really needed them, so that woman couldn't have asked them to give them to her." They said that while she was under no obligation to do so, it would have been common courtesy. One person replied: "If my healthy young child didn't offer his/her seat to a pregnant woman or elderly person I would be ashamed of them. Also, I, a 62-year-old grandmother with a bad back, would give up my seat to anyone who needed it more than me."
