Now if I saw an elderly man with a WWII coat on, I would probably get up and offer him my seat, but that is more a product of his age than his status as a veteran. I would also stand for an elderly non-veteran, an elderly lady, a pregnant lady, or someone with an obvious physical disability.

I would be surprised if this guy was an actual veteran. Not to say that I haven't met some real a-holes during my nearly 40 years in the military, but I don't know many that would attempt to capitalize on their status as a veteran in the manner you described.

I obviously appreciate the sacrifices that any veteran has made for their country, but that doesn't entitle them to act like they are superior to anyone else. If anything most veterans are used to sacrifice and would be more likely to give up their seat than expect someone to do the same for them.

SportsAndLady;1236199 wrote:Haha what could possibly be the other side? That a one legged, 80 year old war veteran came up to me to ask very politely if I could give up my seat for him?

This guy (and woman) was a white trash, rude, entitlement seeking piece of ****. That's the only side.

SportsAndLady;1234904 wrote:So today after work I am trying to catch a Subway home, and of course like every ****ing day I miss the train by a millisecond. It runs every 10-15 min or so.

There are usually like 1 or 2 benches, so I decided to have a seat today since I just missed the train I was the only one there and thus, first dibs on the bench.

After 5 min, it's pretty crowded down there and someone taps me on the shoulder and says to me, "yo, let me sit down."

I looked at this fella, and simply (and politely) said no. And sort of laughed..cuz it was funny to me.

He just stared at me for like 5 seconds and his friend popped out of nowhere and she says to me, "this guy is an American Hero. He was in blah blah blah War in blah blah blah country...blah blah blah" I don't even remember what the hell she was saying, but basically he was in the US Army and was fighting A-Rabs. I simply responded, "I appreciate everything you've done for this country. But that doesn't give you the right to take this seat from me" I said that trying to hold back so much laughter.

The chick called me a **** and he was red in the face and they walked away lol

Most random god damn thing ever...anyone ever face something like this?

tl;dr-crazy war veteran tried to take my bench seat from me. Said no. He left. Ever happen to you?
