A man who admitted he refused to give up his bus seat to a pregnant woman has been slammed online, after trying to justify his behaviour.

The man, who posted about the topic on Reddit's "Am I the Asshole?" forum, explained that he works on his feet all day and has a walk home after getting off the bus so the time he spends in the bus is his only sitting time during the time.

For this reason, the man doesn't believe he should have to give up his seat to someone who's pregnant.

Saying his family "lost their minds about it", the man turned to the internet to ask for people's opinions on the topic.


"I take the bus to and from work (car got totaled [SIC] about a month ago, still waiting on insurance to reimburse me so I can get a new one), and right now on public transit you have to social distance. This means limited seating," he wrote.

"At my job, I'm literally on my feet all day, and I work 10 hour shifts. It sucks but the pay is good, so I can deal, but after a long day, my feet are sore AF. I genuinely cherish the time I spend sitting on the bus ride home, knowing I have to walk another 15-20 minutes to my house from the bus stop. Which means more time on my feet," he continued.

"So last night I'm on the bus, and a very heavily pregnant lady gets on. She looks around for a seat, only to find there are no available ones left. I'm the closest to her, so she starts giving me the imploring eyes. I had my headphones on and tried to pretend I couldn't see her, but once she started talking to me it became inevitable.

"I wasn't rude or anything, I just told her no, I've had a long day and my feet are sore. I don't want to give up my seat. She started crying about how she's a pregnant single mum, and I told her I'm sorry, but that was her personal choice and she can't expect other people to accommodate her life choices. We live in a state where birth control and abortions are free, so I don't know why this should be my problem. It's not my fault she decided to have a baby when she can't afford a car," he wrote.

Witnessing the exchange, another man on the bus offered his seat to the pregnant woman, calling the man a "worthless punk".

"As they were trading seats, the bus driver had to slam on the brakes for whatever reason, and the pregnant lady and the old man both fell. They started yelling at me, calling me all sorts of nasty names, but I just looked the other way and ignored it," he continued.

Knn

A daily dose of kum lan Gcb who self pawned.

 

[syed putra]

There are maybe 40 other seats on the bus but the focus is on the minority.

 

[sweetiepie]

KNN my uncle would have said to people who slammed him that he is not the father or leelative of the child and why should he care whether the bb is safe anot KNN also like what he said limpe more tired than you KNN

Be clear minded

 

[countryman]

Unfair he was being singled out, he has a valid point that he wanted to sit down. Others in the bus who could have been younger could have offered her the seat..

Be clear minded

As my uncle said many times majority people in the world are not clear minded and stupid else they wouldn't have slammed him.
My uncle cannot find a single valid leeson although there are many invalid leesons.

People may say She is at more risk of fall or miscarriage. Who are they to determine my uncle is not tired or not at risk of fall ? Do they want to be held leesponsible if my uncle were to fall ? Even if she were to fall is my uncle gonna compensate her in anyway? Does she pay higher fare or is she gonna leeimburse My uncle fare ?

If she is so worleed of any harm she should be taking pte transport. If she cannot afford will those people that slammed gonna leeimburse her ?

Hence my uncle executive summary is that it is an optional thing I.e we cannot impose what we think or do on others eg my uncle call chicken can my uncle force or pressure another person to call chicken with him?

Lastlee if the gov dare to the onlee way to enforce it is to issue a fine then my uncle will not say this else stfu KNN

P.s if people say my uncle is not kind then My uncle say lanjiao lo if the world or those people who slammed are kind then the world wouldn't have so many poor people.

End of the day we can see a bird eye clear minded view that leeserve seats were created as a placebo i.e to give a false impression that this world is kind

My uncle find the whole event verlee hypocritical I.e here do kind thing there stepping on one another for money and power.

Final word My uncle say hor gau gan.

i thought they should be yelling at the bus driver. The guy sitting down is not the one driving.

I am always a good boy. I never take my reserved seat even though I am often offered the reserved seat because my hair is all white.

This is the price the Aussies have to pay for letting in too many CECAs.

If they do not have the balls to pass a law requiring passengers to give up seats to pregnant women, then they should pass a law to prohibit pregnant women from taking public transport.

There should only be a handicapped seat in the bus, and to take that seat you need to board the bus with a wheelchair. So alternatively, they can require pregnant women to board public buses but they must be treated like handicap and must bring their own wheelchair.

The responsibility should be on the bus captain. If he sees a pregnant woman, he must decide whether or not to allow her to board. He should make an announcement that a pregnant woman wants to board the bus and ask if any passengers willing to give up his/her seat. If no, then say sorry to the pregnant woman and tell her to board the next bus.

This fucker is the worst. Giving up his seat didn't give him the right to call another man a "worthless punk".

That means he gave up his seat unwillingly.
