31 Outrageous Seating Showdowns That Prove Some People Take Drama Way Too Seriously
Ever find yourself wondering if public transport is secretly a stage for the most dramatic soap operas? Well, buckle up, because yesterday’s London bus ride served up a front-row ticket to an epic showdown over a seat that was clearly designed for twice the drama but half the space. Picture this: a man, whom I affectionately call Entitled Man (EM), decides the narrow ‘two-person’ front seat—which realistically fits maybe two kids, tops—is his personal throne. Despite a dozen empty seats elsewhere, he insists on hogging that spot to “see where he’s going,” practically turning the bus into his kingdom and a poor woman into his unwilling co-star. Spoiler alert: it all ends with a loud lecture on our Prime Momister, Kier Starmer, and a tense game of ‘who blinks first.’ Curious about the fallout and the full spectacle? LEARN MORE.
I live in London, UK, and this happened yesterday.A man got on the bus ahead of us, and once we’d tapped in our cards, we couldn’t move past him because Entitled Man (EM) was arguing with a young lady on the first passenger seat at the front of the bus.
It’s important to note that this seat is theoretically for 2 people, but is one big seat, narrow enough for maybe 2 prebubescent children, but not for 2 average sized adults. This is where the woman the EM was arguing with.
He did move to let us past, I thought at first he was arguing because he was elderly and needed a seat but nope, there were about 8-10 free seats beyond him, so my frie d and I sat down. I woukd say I was earwigging on the conversation, but he was honestly shouting so loud I couldn’t miss what he was shouting.
“Move! I want to sit!”
A couple of us tried to point out that there were other seats available, to which he shouted “I want to sit here! At the front! I want to see where I am going!”
So it wasn’t the lack of a seat. It wasn’t the lack of a window seat. It was because this poor woman was sitting in the one seat he wanted, and he obviously felt she should move for him.
She did move aside so he could squeeze on beside her (admittedly, it wouldn’t have been comfy because this seat was not really big enough for 2 adults.) He refused and kept on haranguing her, repeating he wanted to sit there to see where he was going over and over, looming over this poor woman.
Bus driver got fed up with him and told him to sit down. A couple of us spoke up and pointed out pther seats were available he wasn’t entitled to a preferred seat. Eventually he did, sit opposite, (behind the driver’s cab, another unoccupied 2 person seat) changing the topic of conversation to his opinion of our Prime Momister, Kier Starmer. At the top of his lungs. Still looking at the woman, who was standing her ground but looking ahead and refusing to engage. Interspersed with his insistence he wanted that seat so he could see where he was going.
The poor woman he was haranguing got off a stop later, and I hope it was because it’s where she was getting off anyway, and not because she was intimidated. (He was tall.)
He waited until she was off and the bus was moving to move to his preferred seat.
He got off one stop later.
It may be worth noting that we had seen him before getting off the bus and also the day before yelling at cyclists to get off the pavement and go into the road. Sounds like he enjoys making demands.
