A recent discussion on Reddit’s “r/AmItheA--hole,” a subreddit dedicated to people asking others if they acted appropriately in a situation, captures this dilemma. A Reddit user who goes by the username Constant_Tune4461 refused to give up his seat to a pregnant woman due to his own health issues. He told a pregnant woman he had ‘bad feet and knees’ after she asked for his seat. He arrived early to his nephew's high school graduation, hoping to snag a front-row seat. Equipped with his folding camping chair and headphones, he prepared to wait it out in the queue. “About 40 minutes before the school would let us inside, a pregnant woman got next to me since somebody let her in line,” he wrote. He assumed the “somebody” was her husband. After a few minutes, she asked if she could borrow his chair, explaining she would have trouble standing for the wait. He politely declined, citing his bad feet and knees as the reason. Despite denying her request, the woman asked him again after a short while. Again, he refused. Unhappy with his response, the woman urged her partner to speak with him. Her husband did so politely, but once again, the man stood his ground. “ suggested she could wait in their car or just sit [o]n the ground,” he wrote. This suggestion didn’t sit well with the couple.“At this point, the husband directly called me an a--hole but left me alone,” he wrote. www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/man-tells-pregnant-woman-bad-021500789.html |

I rode the train to work through 3 pregnancies.
If someone offered a seat, I might accept but I certainly did not feel entitled to a seat.

What can I say, the whirling sound on and industrial vacuum is pleasing to my ears and my last two therapists seem to have gone missing under some pretty strange circumstances maybe I am just bad luck for mental health practitioners...  |

This is a difficult situation. It was the guy's personal chair, so he was not obligated to let her sit in it, so I think them attacking him was out of line. At the same time, had I been in the same place, I would have let her sit in my chair. He was selfish.

Wasn't she pregnant and all that goes with it, by choice ?
Or was this stranger and his chair responsible for her comfort ?

Either way I do not like entitled peeps. |

I don't think anyone has the right to expect him to give it up, but I would have unless I absolutely couldn't because of a serious condition. |

I would have loved to be her husband had you done that. Sure, it’s much more manly to pick on a pregnant woman. |

Either way I do not like entitled peeps. He did have bad feet and legs. And the husband could have went and got her a chair. I am with you about entitled people. I wonder if that chair had wheels on it if they would be so bold? He came prepared. They didn't. Life lesson learned. |

He came prepared because of his condition. The woman and her husband did not. If the man wasn't using the chair it would have been kind of him to let her use it until he needed it, but he was under no obligation to do so.
