The old woman demanded her right… the girl didn’t want to move.
A tense situation happened in the Shanghai subway when an elderly woman demanded a girl stand up so she could sit.
The girl was in the preferential seats but she still refused to move. The old woman started growing agitated by the situation, while other passengers supported the girl.
The ruckus grew and the old woman was not willing to give up. Without any shame, she sat on top of the girl, hoping she would finally move. But this only started an uncomfortable struggle.
“Maybe the girl had an invisible disability.”
Shanghai Metro administration usually fine people who won’t follow the rules. In this case, it’s unknown whether the girl got a warning or whether it was her right to also use that seat. What we know is that social media criticized her lack of respect towards her elders, even if many wanted to speak up for the girl, claiming young people need to sit too.
