😱 The Bus Ride From Hell: Was He a Total A-Hole? 🤔

Our guy just wanted some peace and quiet on his 6-hour bus ride home, but a mom with a baby had other plans! 👶 He bought an extra seat for his stuff and homework, but she demanded to sit there with her husband. 😤 He stood his ground, even when the driver got involved, and endured dirty looks and a screaming baby the whole way. 😒 Now he's wondering if he was a total jerk for not giving up the seat. 🤔 Let's see what the internet has to say about this wild ride! 🚌😂
