23-year-old woman wonders if she's wrong for refusing to give her seat to 8-year-old boy and his "late 30s" mother: 'A few people gave me dirty looks, and I felt awkward'

What is the etiquette these days when it comes to public transport? Not to sound like an "old man shouting at clouds," but it really does seem like etiquette—along with mutual unspoken respect and other social decorum—has gone completely out the window. Still, along with that, and theoretically causal of the previous issue is that people just seem generally more entitled and individualistic, it's all about “me me me” and “what can be done that benefits me” rather than partaking in the upholding…

'No, I'm sitting here currently, mate': Steadfast bus-goer foils the plan of cheapskate passengers who failed to plan ahead

A lot of hype influencers and motivational speakers are always babbling about ‘taking what’s yours' and ‘seizing opportunities’, but rarely do those book-hocking insecurity-mongerers actually know how to behave in the real world. Perhaps if your pockets are lined with daddy's millions and you've never known real consequences, ‘taking what’s yours' can pay off, but for us regular folks with blue-collar jobs riding the bus to the next city over, we know that the world doesn't work like that.

'Enjoy walking 4 kilometers home': Bus driver gets payback against a mutinous passenger by leaving him stranded

Even if you're a level-headed worker, sometimes the stressors of the workplace can get to you. Boiling over with rage and brimming with thoughts of sabotage, there are some service industry jobs where the work is doable until the customers rear their ugly heads. Enduring the pig-headedness of customers– or in this case, passengers –can take a toll on a worker's patience and perhaps, their mercy.

‘Get up, now’: Woman with disabilities gets told off by elderly lady who demands she give up her seat on the bus

Even though most people would go back to being kids in a heartbeat, becoming adults also has a lot of benefits. Especially being able to call your own shots, and do whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it, without having to answer to anyone. When I was a kid, the one thing I was so excited about adulthood was owning a car and not having to take the bus anymore. Now as an adult, even though I do have a car, I still find myself taking the bus to work, and I completely understand why yo…

‘I did as I was directed’: Camp bus driver leaves 40 blue-collar employees standing in the rain after a 12-hour shift

People working blue-collar jobs are the entire reason our cities and homes are running, and they are a vital part of the system we've got pat down. Trust me when I say I've got a lot of respect for those folk… and yet, this story is still undeniably funny, because these workers in question got a pretty fair warning from OP, but ignored it, leaving them stranded in the rain after a grueling 12-hour shift. But wait, I'm getting a bit ahead of myself… so let me take a step back and start from the…

'You are lying': Karen gets vanquished after trying to catch a free ride on the bus; she gets busted, refuses to leave, then gets arrested

When you're a kid, it's always fun to try to get away with stuff. Sneaking into movies, pocketing a candy bar at checkout, and watching scandalous late night TV with your buddies combines the thrill of being caught with the reward of saving money– three kids piled up in a trench coat can all agree that sneaking into a movie theater for a free flick and a dash of debauchery is the best. As adults though, when you don't pay for tickets to things, then it's no longer charming or cute...

No bus trip would be complete without someone have a conversation extra loudly on their cell phone. Bonus points if it's on speaker, which is the way the woman in this story chose to chat with her grandson. Bus journeys can be really great — you can gaze out the window at the scenery, listen to music, or take a nap while you travel to your destination. That's if all goes well, and let's face it, usually there's at least a few passengers who can't get along . On the r/MaliciousCompliance subredd…
