We all know that bus people are way worse than plane and train people. Sure, there are always exceptions, and sometimes you end up on a plane next to someone who is acting like this is a bus. However, for the most part, bus people refuse to make room for other passengers even if the vehicle is clearly full. Bus people also love to talk on the phone for long stretches of time, as if there is no one else around. They love snacking on smelly food and not cleaning up after themselves. And they love showing absolutely no respect for other people.

Here, we have a passenger who knew the official and unspoken rules of bus etiquette. He also happened to reserve a seat with extra leg room in advance. This clearly upset an older Karen and Kevin couple, who had no reserved those seats yet somehow thought it was within their right to demand that he move. It wasn't because they had requested those seats and there was some kind of a mixup. It wasn't because of respect for elders. And it wasn't because of physical or medical needs. The condition was that they were entitled, and thankfully, this passenger refused to give in.
