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

You should consider that not every train/bus station in the world is like the ones in Chicago before calling someone an idiot. You only make yourself look like an idiot. Go read 22's comment.

You should just have hit him with your crutches

I clearly have to move wherever you are #22 because student tickets are 5 bucks here in dear old Melbourne and you most certainly do not have to give up your seat to full fare passengers!

Uh, yes. You do have to move if you're on student concession. Its written on multiple signs around Melbourne stations and on the trains too. That's why I'm now on a different concession card- they can't make me move now!

#44, you've got it backwards. In the Apocalyse, the skinny people will starve and the fatties will be able to draw on their stores of reserve energy.

Nah, the fatties will go crazy for not having food first. They'll band together and then start eating each other.

OP, that guy was a douche!!! What did he say to you? And did no one think he was being harsh? PS hope your leg heals

No one can make you do anything

I think she was actually referring to another FML where a lady tried to make OP give up his seat because she was "disabled", her disability being obesity.

Who would win in a fight for the right of the seat? Somebody dual-wielding crutches or somebody with a briefcase full if papers? I vote dual-wielding crutches!!
