An aunty on the bus tried to call me out for not giving my father a seat.
Can someone please enlighten me as to why aunties on the public transport think they are so entitled? (SPECIFICALLY chinese aunties lol coming from someone who is chinese and I often hear my friends experiencing the same issue on the MRT as well)
This happened today when my father and I decided to take a bus to the next stop to board another bus since it was raining really heavily.
Maybe just for more info, my father takes awhile to walk due to an injury in his leg so he often takes sometime to board the bus.
Normally for me I like to choose a seat for us that is quite close to him so that at least he would be able to sit right away and normally I would be sitting on the priority seat for him. (FYI, if I ever encounter someone else who needs the seat more I’m always more than willing to give up my seat to them! I always tell my father I would stand instead or move to the back if there’s space.)
Most of the time no one has an issue with this, HOWEVER, today he decided to just stand since like I said, it was only one stop. So I was the only girl sitting on the priority seat (the one that has 4 seats and is facing the window). That’s when this aunty decided to wave to me and told me to give up my seat to the uncle (which was my father Lol which I doubt she knew).
I was pretty confused because I was sitting on the second seat while there was ample space around me for others to seat, and then I looked back at her with the “???” face because I was genuinely confused. That’s when my father spoke and told her it was only one stop so there was no need for him to sit down. And all of that, this aunty had the audacity to give me the nastiest look ever as if I wasn’t going to give my own father a seat. LOL.
Yea so I’ll never understand aunties like her, they really need to be humbled.
