More info:Reddit
Its one thing to fight over something uncertain.
However, upon boarding, they found a woman already sitting there.
The womans partner, sitting opposite the woman, took charge of the conversation, but he wasnt friendly.
The man suggested that the OP find another seat, but the train was packed.
However, that wasnt necessarily the problem.
The problem was the mans refusal to acknowledge the mistake.
The womanspartnerrevealed that she was pregnant, making the OPs request seem inconsiderate.
They also asked the man not to speak to her in an aggressive tone before making a complaint.
At this point, things spiraled.
The ticket inspector finally arrived as another passenger had already lodged a complaint on the OPs behalf.
In the end, the inspector asked the couple to move to their assigned seats.
We started by asking if there are any psychological factors related to entitlement, which she affirmed.
She began by emphasizing effective communication and a willingness to compromise.
However, one can balance empathy and settingboundarieswith clear communication and assertiveness.
Many pointed out that the couple was entitled.
Others were frustrated by the mans aggressive behavior, calling him a bully who tried to manipulate the situation.
