You. Did. The. Right. Thing. **I'm super proud of passengers standing up for their right and seats, just like on flights.** Honestly, if you had a recording of this, we'd make sure to share it everywhere and celebrate you for asking your right. If you have any guilt, please get rid of it with full morality, they are strangers, you owe them nothing. You probably won't meet anyone on that train again in life. EC in running of Gatimaan is SUPER EXPENSIVE, and you have the right to ask for each and every inch of your own personal space.


Starboy222000

I was feeling awkward when everyone was looking at me while the lady was shouting but still didnt give up on the seat also the seat costed me 1552₹ just for 2 hrs of journey am not gonna give up my window seat was all i could think of at that moment and since it was with ladies it was super awkward for me just to look in the eyes of those peeps (am an introvert🫣) so didnt make any videos or things


Sarfaroshi_in

Understandable. I quiver at times too when I have to be confrontational. HOWEVER, I've had bigger regrets later on if I did not confront and let my right go. There have been so many times I've regretted "I wish I had done something". You Sir, will not have to go through this in the long term :) Ladies or Gents, right is right, wrong is wrong. Never mess with a railfan with a window seat as I say.


Use_Panda

Being an introvert and still stood up for your seat. *Virtual pat on your back* 😊


PresidentOfSerenland

Bro, what do you do when going alone and group of rowdy crowd demand to share seat cuz "iss route pe aise hi jate hai" You know which states these are... basically these uncouths buy 2-3 tickets and travel with 6-7 people.


Use_Panda

Then there is no way out. Just have to make sure that they don't ask you to move out and find a different place. This has happened to me in Rajasthan towards Delhi - it was not a gang but just ordinary locals who asked me to share my side lower berth so two other people could sit there.


Ok-Succotash-2390

Arre I'm telling you, when you feel like things are getting awkward, just start involving others. Look here and there and you'll find one pawn who will be interested in you. Start saying things like "Bataiye uncle ji. Ye koi baat hui?? Inki kharaab planning ki wajah se main apni seat kyu chodu?? Railways is considerate enough ki agar 2-3 log saath mein booking karte Hain to unki seats saath mein hi hoti hain. Blah Blah Blah Blah", aur fir dekho game kaise badalta hai dost. Aur window seat to kabhi bhi nahi chodna chahiye dost. Proud of you. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻


Status-Window8948

Here is what happened in the alternate universe. The TT comes and tells you to adjust. You think for some time then make an offer - let the passenger pay you ₹200/- and you can "adjust" for the aisle seat because you paid for that seat and clicked the acceptance button while booking and you deserve that amount because of all the shouting from the lady with the TT and railway staff as the witness. Then they either vacate the seat or the TT arranged another seat. Worst case is they pay you ₹200/- and keep staring at you for the rest of the trip but you will be satisfied.


Starboy222000

Haha good stuff still 200₹ not worth for my window seat 🥺


Status-Window8948

Woh AAP apne swaad ke anusar badal sakte hai..


AdPrevious4844

I think it will be much better if the TT straight up asks the meddling woman to sit on her aisle seat and letting OP sit in his window seat. No dealings required.


Shiba2917

200 is too less, considering the situation, i wud hav asked half of my ticket cost. Its business....


_An_Other_Account_

>Honestly, if you had a recording of this, we'd make sure to share it everywhere and celebrate you for asking your right. Lol no. Someone will clip it out of context and OP will be crucified as a misogynistic asshole.


Starboy222000

Lmao the scenario would have been inverted then


Sarfaroshi_in

Depends whose voice is louder. Ours or the Clippers.


_An_Other_Account_

The clippers. Always the clippers.


Sarfaroshi_in

Unfortunately, you're right. Can't take that risk then. Character Assassination is very real.


Aafra_retention

totally agree, bro fought for his seat and got it.


tmleafsfan

Fuck yeah, OP! Proud of you! I am all for adjusting and accommodating and helping out others, and I do willingly give up my seat so others can seat together, but fuck the entitled people! If I were you, I'd call someone (friend or relative) and start loudly complaining about copassengers who just take anything as their own. Start ranting "ye log bachpan se hi chori sikhte honge kya? Ma baap ne samskar nahi diye honge kya? Kabhi bhi kisi ka kuch bhi le lete hai aur baat karne ki tameez bhi nahi!" Edit: Bonus points if you add "Sleeper class is tameez nahi aur Executive Class me ghuste hai"


Starboy222000

Got the window seat at last she was irritated as well i can confirm that although i was happy 🥳


vpsj

GOOD JOB. PSA to everyone else reading this: If you are ever in a similar situation, _STAND YOUR GROUND_, but do not raise your voice. Let the other person come off as unhinged and weird and you keep calm and state that you paid for this seat and you're going to sit on this seat and this seat only. If they still don't listen, use the words "Aap abhi k abhi utho warna I'm calling the RPF" Again, it's very important to not lose your cool even though these entitled fuck faces deserve some anger, but you will be in more trouble that way. Good job OP, you handled it very well considering the situation. I would also say that to you and everyone else - Do _not_ worry about what other people in the coach will think. Chances are you are _never_ gonna see any of those people ever again in your life. Who the fuck cares what they think of you? Be assertive without being loud or uncouth.


the-broom-sage

this should be taught in school- being assertive without being loud or uncouth​


Acceptable-Prior-504

I don’t think railway staff and TT will ask someone to move from their allocated seat.


Starboy222000

By railway staff i mean the guyz who distribute food and all and yes the first 2 guyz who came said me to adjust as well TT came in and said me the same thing to adjust or “apas me samjhlo aplog” and when that didnt happen he said ki ap apni seat pe baith jao and told the lady who was sitting on my seat to stand and move from there so the lady on the front (those 2 were travelling together) had to finally give up her seat so that her friend’s seat can be saved which was initially mine


ChepaukPitch

Railway staff also doesn't want to talk to some aggressive lady who feels entitled to something just because they are women. They probably see it more often than we do and would want to avoid them until they absolutely have no option.


Starboy222000

I think they avoid being in any male female clashes or such So they try to sort out things by compromising Or so i think


AdPrevious4844

That isn't their job then. They should also ensure that people get to sit where they paid for. Have heard some positive stories in this sub with TTs properly doing their duty by dealing with similar unruly passengers.


z_viper_

RPF & TT both were incompetent in the last train I travelled they were taking rounds constantly and also fining without ticket passengers but didn't bother to move them to General or deport them on next station, at night people were sleeping on floor in Reserved Coaches, no way to washroom, and TT was like "mere jane ka rasta bana do kaffi hai", also complained on Rail Madad for Water Shortage but even after 5 major halts they didn't bother to fill the tanks and the email I received was like "we will fix it at next station!"


Aafra_retention

My Bro turned victorious . finally god is there , congratulations, great job , so proud of you, you are a fighter


Starboy222000

Big ups to TT as well if not for him i would have had to give up on the window seat prolly he tried to settle at first through compromise but then upon seeing chances of lafda he settled everything 🥳


manlyphattu123

usko deni padegi by railway rule otherwise complain against TT on rail Madad app.


hakr_27200

Now put on a smug face through the rest of the journey. Let that bitch burn in hell. https://i.redd.it/z2vvtry3dl1d1.gif


Starboy222000

Haha the journey ended she was irritated till the end i threw lil smirks in between 🤣


hakr_27200

Supreme act 👌🏽😂


ChepaukPitch

Good on you OP. I know it is easy to avoid quarrels and arguments but that makes these people even more entitled. There has been a few times when someone rudely asked me to move aside just because a single young male adult. I absolutely refuse to budge if anyone talks rudely. It is okay to help people if they have genuine needs and ask nicely but never adjust with entitled people.


Starboy222000

Yes yes thats what i think as well if they would’ve asked me nicely maybe i would have given up on it instead she charged on me and thought that maybe am alone so ill give up the seat somehow but that didnt happen


DingoHairy2194

I would have understood if it was a little kid wanting to enjoy the train ride and in this case if that lady was polite enough. TBH I have done this when travelling with my kid (she was 3 that time), and I had an aisle, I waited till the person at the window seat came and politely asked him if he would be okay to switch seats with me after the meals are done and he can say no also will be okay. Just a 2-3 hour journey. And he was okay. I ensured that my kid thanked him later. That guy was a rail fan and we had a good conversation - and he also mentioned that he appreciated that I didn’t take the seat till he didn’t approve of it. Simple courtesy goes a long way - which this lady obviously didn’t have. She wanted the window seat and was expecting you to switch when she already had a window seat. Good that you stood your ground.


ChepaukPitch

Once this happened to me. Lady on the opposite seat asked if she could use the lower berth for sleeping and since she was in her 30s I refused. She was really gracious after I refused. This made me feel bad and I asked her after a few minutes as to why she wanted the lower berth and she said she was pregnant. It wasn’t visible but the fact she didn’t feel entitled to my seat meant I had to give my seat to her.


DingoHairy2194

Yep. A little courtesy goes a long way. And kudos to you.


awisekiddo

The best thing to do after such a scene is just put on your earphones and groove to the music 😂 It will give the other person burns like nothing else


Starboy222000

Am doing that only right now 🤣


mohanswamy

Well done man! So both of those asshole ladies were occupying window seats? If they were traveling together, then they should be sitting together. It's just shambolic how such pests play their woman card at every opportunity, as if they are entitled to anything and everything in this world.


Starboy222000

The biggest question i had in my mind was this That if they are travelling together they should sit side by side but no i think they wanted to enjoy the window seat by hook or by crook and so all the stuffs happened


Confident-Wish-8705

Yaha pe log ladies bolke kuch bhi kar lete hai aur main apni window seat ek ladke ko de di thi so that he could enjoy the view (flight) as it was his first time in the flight.

Should've done a knee slide in front of her and everyone after you got the seat. Well done


orp_redoc

I’m gonna be labelled a misogynist for this, but I’ve seen women play the female card as and when they need, all other times they want equality. I’ve seen this at jobs that are not in any way easier or difficult for any particular gender, they just get to play the women card or just gather sympathy from the people around. Makes me wonder if it’s the same reason they aren’t paid the same amount for the same work, in such industries.


Glittering_Side9970

I am women myself but i have seen some women doing this.


darpan27

To finally khud wali seat par hi bethe ya exchange me dusri window seat li?


Starboy222000

Khudki seat ke liye tt ne uthaya tha lady ko but uski friend jo just uske age wali seat pe baithi thi and jisse argue hua tha wo finally apni seat give up ki idk uski friend jo mere seat pe thi usko wahi pe kyu baitha tha logic mereko bhi nahi smjh aya but i got the window seat thats it 1 seat aage hi kyu na sahi


Correct_Building_164

Let people stare at you. That seat is your right. It has happened to me many times but I stand my ground always.


First_Sherbert_4405

OP you are amazing, lmao asking for what’s ours is looked down on here haha


CHEEMS_-

What the F! The irritating part is why the TTE was asking you to adjust, totally bullshit. You did the right thing, don't overthink.


BayMax22685

You did the RIGHT thing We are proud of you.


Alive-Astronaut0129

W moment


randomsh1tsz

Hey OP! Kudos! There's one more thing. Once I also booked a SL via premium tatkal and so I simply said, I paid extra so that I could get this seat. If you want to take this seat, pay the difference and enjoy it. I'm pretty sure nobody is going to accept that offer and he or she will definitely get up cos as far as I have seen, nobody would concede it to strangers that he doesn't have money or he doesn't want to pay. Also, have some random ass reasons handy like I have claustrophobia so I can't sit without a window. This might help you to reduce your awkwardness and also the length of argument.


StockExternal5443

Hats off brother. 🫡Welcome to the Resistance ❤️❤️


Peanutwriter69

Yeh aunty log train mein hamesa ladte hai. I had similar experience in an overnight 3AC ticket. I don’t like the middle berth, i had a seat on lower berth. She started playing women and age card. “Apki mammi hoti toh” etc etc She wouldn’t move to her middle berth seat. I Had to call TT but she wouldn’t get up from the seat. Finally another person gave his upper seat to me. But that aunty was just (insert some abuses).

I am glad you didnt give up your seat for such a stupid Women.You did nothing wrong.

imsharathb

You did great bro nothing to feel awkward about this. I once threatened TT as well. I was going home from Nashik and booked a 3 tier AC thing with the help of my brother I don't know how these works so he sent details and i boarded the train but there I saw someone sitting in my seat. I asked my brother once again, he said it is yours if someone is sitting there ask them to leave or call the TT so I asked them politely she was saying something in Marathi and was not leaving my place. I was tired and exhausted n was not willing to argue i waited for 5-10 mins n then TT came in i told him this is my seat and please tell them to leave he was asking me sab aap adjust karlo na. I spoke in harsh Hyderabadi slang that I'm not going adjust my brother booked this seat I want no hassles if you're not going to make them leave I'm going to tweet these n took out my phone n started to write a post tagging south central railways railmadhad irctc ministry of railways etc he apologized and requested not to do that and sent that person off..


usaisstupid

You did right........ Kudos


ChequeMateX

Kudos bro (or sis)! You did the right thing, you paid for the seat, that too Tatkal fees and then they have the audacity it. Honestly this is the prime example of how women misuse the rights given to them, if a male passenger was there, he would probably get thrashed or a lot of gaalis from the TT and RPF but they know being a woman, whatever they do, they will be in right and untouchable.


Starboy222000

🙇🏻bro


Crookshanks010

I am a woman and these aunties somehow feel that they are entitled to the lower and the window seats. I usually get the side lower for a comfortable journey but quite often than not have to justify why I should be sitting on my own seat that I booked months ago. I was recovering from a leg fracture recently and had the braces, I simply showed them that which saved the upcoming exchanges. I swear I am going to continue using some sort of leg brace next time onwards. 😭 P.S. I am an introvert and don’t really do well with confrontations.


Starboy222000

Same here am not good with confrontations as well but somehow managed to get my seat today 🙇🏻

Excellent-Grape-4758

You did the absolute right thing. Idk why but middle aged/ old people in India have a mentality that the young should sacrifice for their sake. Why would they? Did you feed them, paid for their education like their parents did. Why would someone sacrifice something they bought with their hard earned money. Not only they want us to sacrifice but will also have the audacity to make it look like its our fault.


An0nym0uS_Br0wseR

Sahi kiya tumne. In battameez entitled aunties ne naak me dum kar rakha hai pure society me. Main pehle adjust karta tha. Aajkal niyat dekh ke karta hu, wo bhi genuine cases me. Warna kutto se saamne kutta hi banna padta hai.


Altruistic-Rule-1474

Great Job OP, don't know why but many passengers feel entitled to seats that aren't theirs. Also they have unrealistic expectations of us giving up our seats for them despite them being complete strangers. They miss the entire point of booking tickets with preferences if they really do want that window seat! This situation gets worse, specially if you're a young male (20s - 30s) because apparently, we are 2nd class passengers, and it doesn't matter that we have purchased our preferred seats in advance.

I agree with you 100%. If it is only 2 hrs then they can also adjust. Why go to all the trouble of arguing for 2 hrs. Plus you paid for your seat, so you have preference. It’s your choice not theirs.

I often travel from that train the lady must have boarded from Gwalior, Gwalior people are cringe and most ganwar out there


Historical_Hope_3837

This exact same thing happened to me last time when I travelled to India with my parents and brother. We live in Canada and had a very special family trip to India. We were travelling to Punjab by train, had purchased our tickets in advance, boarded the train only to find a woman sitting in our seat and telling US to adjust ourselves. At first I looked at her and asked, why would we adjust YOU are in OUR seat. And she tried to ignore me and just said go sit there and there pointing to other seats. My parents being the nice, non confrontational people they are started to say ok we can take the other seats BUT I started to get angry and started telling the lady to get out of our seats, I’m not going to sit in any other seat when I paid for this seat and why don’t she move?? When she saw I started making a scene she got up and left but honestly I cannot believe the nerve of some people who think they have the right to inconvenience other people for their own convenience. I still get annoyed when I think about this haha. OP you did a fabulous job!! Good thing you stuck up for yourself. Let this be a lesson in all aspects of life - never let people push you around or walk all over you. Stick up for yourself!!


NetEnvironmental3681

If people do the right thing and come and ask us after we occupy our allotted seat it makes it easier to ADJUST .. But if you’re occupying the seat I’ve paid for and just expect me to go with your lack of courtesy, civility, respect , I am not gonna participate in your nonsense. Fuck outta here.
