'Excuse me, I’m wearing heels and I just got a pedicure': After-work commuter refuses to give up their bus seat for an entitled Karen, then offers their spot to an 8-months-pregnant passenger instead

Scoring a seat in public transit is a win, but the moment an elderly person or a pregnant lady walks in, it should be every decent person's instinct to give up your spot. However, if you're an entitled Karen who decided to wear high heels to your pedicure appointment before demanding someone else's seat on the bus, you're far less deserving.

  • Commuting has to be one of the most soul-sucking activities out there. Tired from a long day at work, all you want to do is kick off your shoes and relax at home, but before you can get there, you have to endure the sweat-stained seats and the cattywampus timetables of your transit line. For the after-work retail employee in this next story, not only did they have 45 minutes until they were home free, but they had to deal with an entitled woman on the bus, whose fashion choices that morning somehow made her deserving of a seat on the bus. Sorry lady, you knew those shoes would be uncomfortable; that's on you.

  • She demanded I give up my seat... so I gave it to someone who actually deserved it.

  • A couple of months ago, I was on a packed bus heading home from work. I had a long day standing on my feet for most of it since I work in retail. When I got on and saw a single open seat, I made a beeline for it and plopped down.

  • About two stops later, a woman got on. She had a designer bag, high heels, and loud perfume. It was the whole "look at me" package. She glanced around, saw no open seats, and headed straight for me.

  • She said, "Excuse me, would you mind giving up your seat? I'm wearing heels and I just got a pedicure." Not kidding. That is literally what she said.

  • I blinked for a second and kind of laughed, thinking she was joking. But she just stood there, staring down at me like I was supposed to feel guilty. No visible injury, not pregnant, nothing.

  • I replied, "Sorry, long day. I'm staying seated." She scoffed, looked at the guy next to me, and said, "Some people are so selfish."

  • That's when I noticed a young woman nearby who looked about 7 or 8 months pregnant. She was holding onto a railing, looking exhausted.

  • So I said, loud enough for everyone to hear, "Hey, do you want to sit?" I offered my seat to her instead. She looked surprised, smiled, and said thank you. Everyone around us noticed.

  • Entitled Heels Lady looked like she just bit into a lemon. She ended up standing the whole ride, looking absolutely furious. And yes, I enjoyed every second of it.

  • Virtual-Ad7254. I was offered a seat on the tram a while back, I thought that's lovely but first you should offer it to an older person, looked around and realised I was the older person. That was a reality check.
