Redditors Applaud Injured Teenager For Not Giving Up Her Seat To A Pregnant Woman In A Bus

pregnant-woman-fi

To ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers, public transportation like buses and trains has priority seats for the elderly, pregnant women, and people with disabilities or injuries. These seats provide equal access and comfort for those who need them most.

While anyone can sit in these seats, they must give them up if someone who needs them boards. However, if the person sitting in a priority seat fits the criteria, they are not required to move.

In today’s story, a girl with a knee injury thought she had just as much right on the priority seat as the pregnant woman who boarded the bus at a stop. When the pregnant woman told OP to give her seat up, she lifted her dress up to show her scars. The pregnant woman was left to say nothing. However, a passenger decided to voice his opinion against OP saying she was way out of her line by showing her scars.

1. Let’s find out!

2. OP sustained an injury by meeting a car accident a little while ago.

3. The guy who crashed into OP called the ambulance and gave a handsome compensation for the knee cap fracture.

4. Months later, the leg became better but OP had to use a cane to walk.

5. Recentlt, after school OP got in the local bus and sat on the priority seat as her knee was hurting a lot.

6. Few stops later, a pregnant woman got on the bus.

7. OP being the youngest, the pregnant woman told her to get up and let her sit in that spot.

8. OP politely refused by telling her she had a knee injury.

The only reason why the pregnant woman told OP to move was that she was the youngest out of the all passengers sitting on the priority seats. And she didn’t even ask, just check out her entitlement.

A woman with a knee injury is as entitled to a priority seat in a public transport as a pregnant woman. Case closed! No one can force OP out of that seat.

9. The pregnant woman, considering herself entitled to that seat, started yelling at OP. In response, OP lifted up her dress and showed all her knee scars as evidence.

10. OP didn’t want to contine on with thr argument and that is why she just showed her scars to prove to the knee injury and be done with it.

11. The pregnant woman walked away in hopes to succeed else where, and OP thought that was the end of it.

12. But a guy sitting behind OP decided to pitch in by saying she went out of the line by showing her scars. The matter was taken to the courts of the AITA community.

Here’s what the AITA community had to say about this:

13. That guy sitting behind OP was a hypocrite.

14. The fact that they assume the teen could be using the cane as a fashion item saddens me.

15. This question should have been put before that guy right there and then.

16. Just ignore it and move on.

17. The situation could have been dealt with with so much ease.

18. That second point is very good, actually. Build an association with your cane by customizing it. You will never be embarrassed to use it again.

19. Such people shouldn’t be allowed on public transport.

20. The pregnant woman didn’t believe OP, OP provided evidence.
