A person wrote: “It’s on purpose, probably to feel you up too. They do it cause you let them, you gotta speak up or they’ll take advantage.”

“Grab his bawls and twist,” a netizen quipped.
“As a man, it’s just more comfortable to sit like that,” a viewer attempted to argue. However, cybernauts quickly countered as someone replied: “Your n*ts ain’t that fat. Close your f*****g legs.”

A woman shared her own experience: “Once when I was on a train I saw a man manspreading so much that he took up two whole seats.”
A separate individual chimed in: “‘Accidentally’ drop something really hot on their lap like coffee.”
On August 19, Erin shared an update on TikTok clarifying that she didn’t want to “cause a scene” and that her lack of reaction further stemmed from a fear of being followed home by one of the offenders.

“Everybody telling me to react to a certain way or whatever,” the TikTok said. “Imagine you never know who these people are.”
She continued: “You never know that they could follow me home after I get off my flight, follow me. You don’t know.
“Like, it’s a crazy world out here and I was on a flight for an hour. I’m not gonna cause a scene over that and risk that.”
