Today, I got on the subway with a broken leg. A kind woman stood up and offered me her seat. Before I could sit down, a guy shoved past me and took it for himself. The woman and I pointed out my cast and crutches, and asked him to give up the seat. He responded by flipping us off. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, on my way to school, I was shouted at by an obnoxious businessman for sitting down on the train when a "full fare paying passenger" was standing. I would normally have given him the seat straight away, except I have a broken leg. I showed him my leg and crutches. He still made me get up. FML
Today, I offered my seat to an elderly lady on the subway. She quietly refused. Minutes later on a sharp turn, she almost fell down on two people. As I was clearly the youngest in the disability seating section, everyone on the train turned and glared at me. FML
Today, while sitting in a handicapped seat on the bus, an old man angrily approached me and chewed me out in front of everyone for not leaving the seat empty for "those who actually need it." Then he stormed off the bus, stepping heavily on my broken foot. FML
Today, I gave up my seat on the subway for an elderly man. He thanked me by grabbing my ass. FML
Today, I rushed onto the metro to get to work. I found there were no seats left and asked a perfectly healthy guy to let me sit in the handicap spot. He refused to because "being tired" was a handicap characteristic. I have one leg. FML
Today, I got on a train and spotted a free seat. I rushed over, sat down and sighed with relief, only to realize people were looking at me. That’s when I saw the “Reserved for the elderly or disabled” sign…and the man with a cane standing in front of me. I immediately offered him the seat, but he just shook his head and said, “You’re gonna need it after this shaming.” FML
Today, I learned that chivalry truly is dead when a seemingly fit man pushed me into a door to get a seat on the train before me. My leg is in a cast. FML
Today, a man slapped me in the face with his newspaper because I didn't get out of his way fast enough at the train station. I guess he didn't notice I was on crutches. FML
Today, I offered an elderly man my seat on the train. He thanked me by winking and offering me a seat on his lap. FML
Today, I was quietly reading in the subway, when all of a sudden, at a station, the man sitting next to me stood up, slapped me, yelled "Bitch!", and rushed off the train. FML

I hope you took a swing at him with your crutch... or at least let it rest on his foot.

There's a special little spot in hell for people like this.

I wonder if he is the same guy who didn't give the seat up for the girl. If so, he would make an intetesting post series.

There is no law that says people are obligated to give up their seats to others. Sure, it may have appeared rude but for all you know he could have had some problem with his own legs that isn't immediately obvious like your crutches and cast were. You shouldn't judge others if you don't know the whole story.

You shouldn't judge others, but the guy didn't say he had problems with his back or legs, and he moved quickly enough to take the spot... Plus he flipped them off... So regardless, the guy was still a jerk, and that's not judging, that's an observation.

I don't know about where the OP lives but you are required to give up your seat for certain people where I live. Pregnant women, the elderly, crippled etc.. They have certain seats with signs above them that have this rule.

No the lady offered HIM the seat. Not the man rushing and pushing him out the way the seat.

Easy fix. As others have said, crush his foot with your crutch. Then he won't need to take seats that should be given to the injured. He will have earned one himself.

You should have stood in front of him, turned around, and farted right then and there

You should have used the crutch on his ignorant head.

Eh, I would of sat on him and start naming what I want for Christmas. He might end up getting annoy enough to move.

No because if you sit on me.. The first thing I will do is beat the shit out of you. Broke leg or not. You would of gotten another broken limb somewhere.
