It's disappointing that there was the implication that he was being petty for wanting the seat he paid for!!!

If I pays, I sits. It’s simple

Even if he goes and sits somewhere else, then what does he do when the owner of THAT seat shows up? Best to make it her problem, not his.

This is a bigger problem of entitlement. Taking somebody else's designated seat just because you fancy sitting there and think it's ok to inconvenience somebody else because it is what "you" want is how children behave who haven't learned consideration. About a dozen years ago, I was almost 3 months into a college course and had been sitting in the same studio seat at a table from the first day. One morning I come in to find somebody else's stuff piled on the table in front of the seat I always occupied with a jacket on the chair. This person knew full well I always sat there but she had recently befriended the girl at the end of the table beside my usual seat and decided she wanted to sit beside her. All semester she, like everyone else, had their usual seat but because she changed her mind and wanted to sit near her new friend I had to find a different place to work in order to accommodate her without consultation or consideration? Huh? Yeah, no.

What? She stood up nearly right away and why the f**k is he randomly filming and uploading strange people? Do people now film and post on ticktock when someone farts in the same room with them? Get a life.

She got up and he got his seat not sure why he had to video the moment and post it online

Why does there seem to be an epidemic of entitled people? It's not just the seat, in itself, it's the principle. If you've paid for an assigned seat, you have a right to that seat. And people defending her?? "I like this seat better so I'll take this one. Besides, it's closer to my friend." I guess she got her 1 minute of fame. Woman clearly an AH. I just don't get the snotty-a*s attitude of people like this. Sitting there with a big smirk on her face. It's the kind of person you just want to wipe that grin off her face the hard way, but you know you can't.

How embarrassing for him. He could have handled it maturely and quietly, but instead chose to film strangers for internet clout.

Had this happen to me in the theatre. It's a personal matter, though. Not sure it was necessary, actually no, it wasn't necessary that this guy put a camera in their face and that likely caused further escalation. When people feel threatened in anyway, even if they know they're in the wrong, if they feel like the confrontation is out of proportion to the issue, such as being publicly shamed for a minor whoopsie, it's just natural for people to get just as overly defensive. That's why we see so many over the top reactions and freak outs on camera. What was happening before things were filmed? What was said to make them get out the camera? My verdict is she needs to move, yes. He needs to calm down and put the camera down instead of looking for an opportune time for a fight. ESH.

WTF is up with all these self absorbed entitled a******s? B***h, the man paid for that seat, you did not! Get your scrawny a*s up and move! As for the other person who jumped in to defend the squatter, MYOB!!! All you Karen's and their friends Go f**k yourselves!

I think that guy is extremely petty. That girl didn't even put up much of a fight first of all, and did he even ask to record her and have her face be all over social media? She got yp pretty quickly said sorry it's your seat and moved. What does she get? He posting it all over the place even though he got what he wanted. It would have been fine if he didn't post it. It's his seat and all, if she didn't move then maybe sure, but she did, problem solved, what dies he do? Be extremely petty and publicly shame her to the world. Not okay. People get sued for less

*she is not that rude.

Wait, this is a BoredPanda article? The guy gets his way and no one jumps all over him? This can't be right...

The biggest drama I ever encountered was when I paid for 3 seats in long distance bus. Where I live they are gianormous and have 2 rows of 3 seats all the way from front to the back of the bus. I simply booked one whole 3seat for myself. People freaked out when I said no, noone can sit with me, as I plan to use all 3 seats for my own comfort and good night sleep in this 10 hours long journey. Even the driver tried to convince me I should give up my paid seats, even tho the bus was half empty.

You are right to demand to use what you paid for, broh. I don’t care how big her nasty camel’s toe is showing. 😂.

If those two busy body females were so worried about the girl, why didn't they give up one of their seats to her?

First you must notify them of their error. If they give rude push-back, you grab whatever they have in their hands like a laptop, pocketbook, etc., and toss it down the aisle, and tell them to go get it. When they do,... sit in your seat.

Itead this article to see if people are really so BORED, and uninterested in the magnificent adventure of life beyond the mundane “the entitled person who wants my seat”.. I am out of here to get my front row seat watching the world around me crumble. You guys focus on the mundane.

Fake, tiktokkers just looking for views

The world is infested with entitled morons, these days, who think they deserve what ever they take. So glad Boris stood his ground. That woman will become a full fledged Karen if her BS is not nipped in the bud.

Wouldn't even bother discussing it. One warning, then lift her bodily out of the seat by her throat. Karens forfeit the privilege of tolerance by choosing to act that way and not back down when called to order. If she wants to be a child, then she gets a spanking and sent to bed without tea. MORE than sick of this kind of behaviour, it's time people were afraid of behaving this badly in public. If they cannot choose civility, they will obey it out of fear, or face reprisals.

I flew home to Florida, once, with a woman I knew from where I currently resided in the row behind us. It was just the way the airline seated us! I had my three children and she had her two. I was going home to see family, she was taking her children on vacation. We intended to meet up for a part of my visit to go to Disney together. She found out that her row, the last row, had no window! She wanted me to swap rows with her so her children could look out a window, but, then, mine wouldn't be able to do so. I told her no. She bitched all the way to Florida, her son puking everywhere! It was an awful trip for her! Other than listening to her complain, it was nice for us! LOL

The other passengers seem to think he could just go to another empty seat. But they are not considering that, at any stop, another passenger could get on and claim that other seat. By that time there may have been no more vacant seats. He had to stick to his guns.

Oh, wait.... Guess I have not been on a train for quite awhile - you can reserve a seat on a train like on an airplane?

Me, to stewardess: I will sit elsewhere, for a first class seat, and a full cash refund in my hand. That is my only concession. Your call. *fold arms*

For longer trips, I always bought a seat reservation. I had lots of luggage with me, and didn't wanna take it anymore searching and eventually changing a seat. I paid the few € extra, and someone else either didn't, or for another seat, not mine. A few times, I accepted a different but equivalent seat, to not rip apart a family or such, but usually, I wasn't greeted very friendly when arriving at my seat (I also got on board with the last people, for I hate the constantly jammed up in-train-traffic, and as I had a seat reservation, wouldn't need to fight or hurry anyway) by the one who didn't book it. Well, then, just get up and leave - most important, me alone. Or be friendly, be a family seated together or such, and find a solution that supplies them and me with a seat - also fine.

"the lady already sitting there tried pointing out other available seats." And if you would back down and go sit there, you might sit in another persons seat instead, thus the drama continues... Just sit in the seat you are suppoused to - if you sit in the wrong seat, you move. Simple as that. You get on the train, you follow the rules or take a walk.
