She spotted a man sitting alone, but his bag and hand were taking up the seat beside him. Instead of moving over, he left her standing there, and that is where the story took a very awkward turn.

After struggling to board the bus in the first place, the very pregnant Brydie had already had enough of that day. Faced with a man as selfish as this one, she wasn't going to take it lying down. Instead, she stood up and promptly sat directly on his hand and bag, ensuring they could share a very awkward but amusing bus ride home.

Apparently, this sort of overt selfishness is all too common, as a chorus of other women chimed in with their own experiences of a similar nature.

That reaction struck a nerve with plenty of readers.
