‘This happened in a train to Macarthur service. My wife was excited to stand, however, there was an elderly lady that really could have used this seat.’ The man captioned the sent photo.

The man revealed the woman on the train was protecting the seat for a friend who was about to get on a train later on. The man added: ‘Turned out she was holding the seat for a friend who got on somewhere after the airport, while all other passengers had to just stand.’

According to man’s report, the dubbed selfish woman was confronted several times but kept refusing to move her bag for anyone to sit.

 The man continued: ‘Trains are packed due to cancellations and problems going on. These days I am too scared to say something in case they just decide to stab you or how they will react. Someone had words with her and still, she just sat there laughing to herself.’
