The woman eventually got up from his seat and admitted that she understood his argument despite a little bit of pushback from her and another fellow passenger.
'But it's my place'
In the clip, the woman hesitated to vacate the seat and instead asked the man if he could perhaps find another place to sit. The man explained it was "going to be difficult." She then seemed to stand up to leave but not before the two other women, who were not linked to her in any way, chipped in to suggest the TikToker just try and find another place.
"But it's my place," he can be heard saying. The other passenger then says, "But, you know." "But, you know, calm down," the TikToker hit back.
'Should've minded her own business'
Netizens heaped praise on the user, with many claiming that they would not have been able to handle the exchange in such a calm manner. One user wrote, "The other girl should've minded her own business," according to Daily Mail. "No way they were getting upset at you asking for the place you bought," another slammed. One user hit out, "The other woman getting into is none of her business." "Ow they gonna get mad for a place you paid for," another remarked. The clip was posted to the account @mr_boris_becker, which has more than 864,800 followers and some 13 million likes across all his videos.
