    Entitled Mom Demands [Priority] Seat, Then Misses Her Flight Train

    Okay so, interesting thing happened to me today. The local train is set up in a way, that it goes as a full train for 90% of the line, then splits into two trains in the end, one going to the suburbs and one going to the airport.
  • 03
    So far so good. I was on the part that goes to the suburbs, like usual, today.
  • 04
    Currently, there is holiday season here, so there are lots of people with suitcases around that want to go to the airport.
  • 05
    And almost every day I see people who enter the rear part of the train towards the suburbs by mistake.
  • 06
    I usually help those people out and tell them when they can best change to get into the front part of the train to the airport.
  • 07
    You can easily spot them with a big suitcase looking a bit out of place. But today was different.

    I have a bit of a limp on right leg so I'm pretty slow and usually sit in the disabled seat, makes it easier for me to get to get in and out of the train.

    Queue the entitled family. Now today, big family, all with suitcases entered (Mom, Dad, 2 Kids and Grandma) the train and started arguing about if the train goes to the airport or not, with Mom being very sure it goes to the airport, and they are all wrong.

    Looking for seats, they are coming over towards me, I was pretty much sitting alone. Mom coming up to me and telling me that I should get up and make room for them, telling me I was sitting in a family part and should not be sitting there.
  • 12
    To be honest, I would have made room for them anyways, but I only smiled at them and got up without another word, but Mom was not done yet.
  • 13
    Telling me off how rude I am and that I should look out for people who actually need those spots lol.
  • 14
    Dad pulled her to the side and just pointed out my limp and that I am probably disabled, she only looked at me like sour grapes, just very much insincere apology.

    Priority seating

    I was staying quiet towards them, moving a couple seats over and watching with somewhat malicious delight as they realized they were in the wrong part of the train and missed the last station to switch over.

    TheQuarantinian The train physically splits and the front cars go one way and the back cars the other?

    Thekey Too OP Yep, they are two shorter trains linked together. (S1 Line in Hamburg Germany)

    Carebear7087 Should've told her "at least you get to go to the wrong place as a family"

    Darth Vader808 I would have pointed that out about 5 mins past the last chance to get off the train.

    Friendly-Channel-480 I think it's really sad that life doesn't have more opportunities for good people to be able to passively avenge themselves. Nice story.

    Agile_Rent_3568 Malicious compliance - giving people what they ask for when you know it will hurt them or is not in their interests - is fair. Please be careful what you ask for, in case you get it. Consider yourself an agent for Karma.

    rainyday1860 The cherry on top would have been that as you exit the train you say to them "by the way. This train doesn't go to airport" and gets off and walks away.
