Very few of us want to become a spectacle on public transportation, but it's also healthy to advocate for ourselves in situations where we're being treated unfairly. Here's the case of a seat-stealing Karen who tried to pull a reverse Uno on the guy who bought the seat she see found herself sitting in. Why do people have to be like this? For another entry in the book of Karen, here's a Karen who had a rude outburst and then ruined her own car.

    Screenshot - Posted by u/GreXlxL 23 hours ago 2 AITA for being a Karen and demanding my seat? Not the A-hole I know but hear me out. A bit of context , this happened in the Uk London. I booked a ticket for Sunday evening to go back to my apartment (Northampton ). Due to an accident on the tracks a lot of trains have been delayed or suspended indefinitely, I found this out at the station

    Font - A couple of hours before I was about to start making my way home my ticket to go home was cancelled, refunded and given the option to buy a new one which I did, it came with a seat but I didn't pay too much attention to it. When I got to the station it was packed to say the least, trains were getting cancelled and delayed left and right my train got delayed multiple times but luckily it arrived.

    Font - Since the train station was so packed it was a rush to get in the train made harder with my mini suitcase I was pulling along, I was scanning my ticket and remembered it came with my designated seat, I relaxed a bit knowing that at least that was secure. The trouble was when I got to my seat someone was sitting in there, I politely informed the woman that the seat she was sitting on was reserved for me and I have the ticket to prove it. She looked at me and said: "sorry I was here first y

    Font - We went back and forth about it with here refusing to budge on the mater and me getting more and more annoying. I was annoyed and lost all my patience and simply said: "Look, we all payed for a ticket but mine came with that seat and I'd like to sit there as I paid for it so get up". At this point you could hear the anger in my voice and people started to notice and take sides some thought I was in the wrong and should screw of, some said it's my seat as stated on the ticket so she should

    Font - After 10 minutes and another delay (the train was at the platform the whole time) she reluctantly got up and sat next to someone else, I apologised for the disturbance, I put my suitcase up in the overhead luggage storage, sat down and put in my AirPods and calmed down with some music. She got of at the stop before me (wolverton) and gave me a dirty look through the window. In hindsight it's was a chaotic situation to say the least but I still believe I was in the right but I also think t

    Font - nekonojoo · 21h Partassipant [2] Former rail worker. Normally during disruption all reservations are suspended and it's a free for all, especially with the amount of delays you are describing. However, if what you say is correct and reservations are still in place, then NTA, you reserved it, you get it. If reservations were suspended then it's more ESH because it sounds like there was a lot of bickering over a seat during an already difficult time. For future reference, if you do get a re

    Font - worryaboutYOUhoe · 23h Certified Proctologist [24] NTA. If the situation were reversed, how many people would accuse this woman of bullying? She's just mad you didn't take an L for her and give up the seat you paid for. You had absolutely nothing to apologize for.
