This woman reserved an individual first-class seat on a UK train that turned out to be priority seating for the elderly or disabled. Drama ensued when a 60-year-old woman without a specific seat reservation marched onto the first-class car demanding to have that priority seat.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Optimal_Promotion879, who acknowledged that the train system in the UK is, to put it lightly, complicated. The fact that you can book a ticket but not be guaranteed a specific seat is one flaw, but the fact that they would give the Redditor a priority seat (which she insisted she was not aware of prior to boarding the train) just goes to show that this system is complete chaos. While I too feel bad for the older woman, if the system's rules are clear, she should have known that no seat is guaranteed (and certainly not a first-class one…beggars can't be choosers, lady!). However, at the end of the day, the real A-hole here is the train booking system. In what world is this allowed to happen?!
