The last thing you’d want is to be caught in a confrontation with a demanding older lady. Well, that’s exactly what happened to our protagonist, who found herself in a heated debate over a bus seat. Let’s dive into this drama-filled encounter.

The Great Bus Seat Debate
So, our pregnant heroine found herself in a sticky situation when an older lady demanded she give up her seat on the bus. Despite the seat not being a priority one for disabled passengers, the lady insisted it was reserved for those with disabilities. Our protagonist stood her ground, revealing her pregnancy and the risk of climbing the stairs with heavy bags. A man eventually offered his seat to the lady, but not before shooting a dirty look at our pregnant friend. The lady then spent the remainder of the journey gossiping about the lack of respect from younger generations. Was our protagonist in the right? Let’s see what people have to say about this situation…
