A man who refused to give up his seat on a busy train so that a pregnant woman could sit down is being ridiculed online for his stubbornness.
The post has received over 1300 comments, most of which describe the poster as the ‘asshole’ in the story and say that he should be ‘ashamed’ of himself.
“I’m the closest to her, so she starts giving me the imploring eyes. I had my headphones on and tried to pretend I couldn’t see her, but once she started talking to me it became inevitable. “After going back and forth for a bit, an old man finally shouted that I’m a ‘worthless punk’ and offered his seat to the lady. He started ranting and raving about the ‘damn millennials’ and I just looked the other way and pretended I didn’t hear it.
The top comment on the thread, with over 5000 votes reads: “Did you know that being heavily pregnant really alters your balance, let alone the tired thing? “I participated in a chronic pain campaign a little while ago and mostly think that “no” should be an acceptable answer when refusing to give up a seat. It was out of line for that pregnant woman to continue badgering that one guy and for the old dude to jump in super late thinking he was going to be a hero or some shit.
