Today, I had to stand up on a train for my 4-hour journey. Why? Two pregnant women flew into unbridled rage with me over sitting in the priority seating, saying I was selfish. I'm recovering from spinal surgery. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a woman on the train demanded I give up my seat for her, claiming it was for people with disabilities. Tired from a long day at work, and seeing she had nothing wrong with her, I asked what her disability was. Apparently, obesity is one. FML
Today, a businessman in his forties tackled me to the ground in an attempt to take my seat on a crowded train. When that didn't work, he called me a fat bitch and gave me the finger. The seat was given up for me because I'm seven months pregnant. FML
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, a pregnant woman got on the bus. There were no free seats, so I stood up to give her mine. An obese man pushed past her, waddled over, and oozed into my seat. I said it was for the pregnant lady. He called me a "sexist bitch" and claimed he needed it more. FML
Today, I had to run for the train, but because of my bad foot and limping they held the train, much to people's displeasure. No one let me sit down, so for the 20 minute journey, I stood. With a bad foot. 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, I was supposed to fly home for my dad's funeral, but the woman in the seat next to me was so obese, her bulging flesh left absolutely no way for me to sit in my seat. I complained to the stewardess, who then forced me to leave the plane just for raising my voice in frustration. FML
Today, I took a busy train into the city. I was lucky enough to get a seat. People were forced to stand in the aisle in front of me, and the person directly opposite me, whose butt was level with my head farted in my face. Twice. FML
Today, I had to spend a long bus ride with my chest pressed against the window, because some mammoth of a woman decided to squeeze her double wide ass into my seat. FML
Today, I was on train when an attractive girl got on. There were no free seats and seeing as how my stop was next, I gave her mine. As soon as I did, the train came to an immediate halt, due to "brake problems". I spent the next 40 minutes standing up. FML

And someone else couldn't get up for them? It had to be you and you only?

You should have explained your predicament to them and they probably would have let you sit

Why didn't you just tell them to get over it? I wouldn't have given up my seat if I was recovering from surgery. Who cares what they think of you?

Being pregnant isn't a disability. It's just pregnancy, they'll be just fine.

Just because she's only 17 doesn't make her statement untrue, being pregnant is not a disability. Yes some women have very bad pregnancies however these women were just entitled bitches.

#124 because there are no 17 year olds in the world who have experienced pregnancy

You paid for your spot. Don't let anyone tell you to move just because they don't like it.

I'm a pregnant hormonal woman and even I think that was cruel of them. There's more issues that need priority sitting then pregnant women. I'm sure if you'd had explained...

That's when you should have told them about your condition and that you need the seat just as much - if not more - as them. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself OP.

I admire you OP for giving up your seat but on the other hand you should have explained your predicament. I've seen pregnant women work as waitresses until the day they gave birth. Those girls could have stood there for awhile unless instructed otherwise by a doctor but by your description they're the kind that think they deserve special treatment because they're pregnant. I hope you're doing better OP. :)

I'm sorry, OP. You should have said "screw you" and help your ground.
