I live in NYC. I was going home after getting a mani/pedi after work. I was one of last people to board the bus and so most seats were taken. However, the first 3 disabled seats were not occupied by ppl. A man had placed his grocery bags on each of the three seats. So I asked him nicely: Excuse me are these yours sir? He pretends to not hear me.
Now, this wasn't an old man by any means...maybe 45-48 yrs old. I thought maybe these aren't his bags. So I ask the bus driver and he tells me they are his. So I proceed to move one of the bags from the 1st seat and he jumps up and says: All you needed to do was ask!
It was 8:30pm, I was coming home from work, and it's pretty obvious I'm PG. I screamed on him like he had lost his damn mind. And then he had the nerve to try to answer me back. I told him, you either move it or I'm throwing it on the floor and that I'd F**k him up, pregnant belly and all.
He did move the bags and I sat down and enjoyed the rest of my ride home.
Can you believe the GALL of ppl?
Re: The worst Public Transportation Story Ever.....
Totally rude of him not to move his bags and to ignore you. But also kinda out there for you to threaten to f--k him up. I lived in NYC for two years (in brooklyn too!), but never felt the need to threaten bodily injury.
Glad you got your seat
