Public transport can be a hassle, especially when it is crowded and hot. But what if you have to deal with children sitting on the floor and blocking your way? One Reddit user faced this dilemma when they tried to get on a train and encountered some stubborn passengers who refused to move their kids. OP asked them to make their children stand, but they were met with resistance and hostility. OP responded and said that they did not care about their children and managed to get on the train, but felt guilty afterwards. They posted their story on the “AmItheA$$hole?” subreddit and asked the internet to judge if they were wrong in this situation where they had to get onboard they, just like everyone else trying to get on the train, had already purchased the ticket.
The story sparked a debate on the subreddit as some supported OP’s decision while others went against him. Time for you guys to read and decide if OP was an AH or not. Scroll down below to enjoy!

1. Let’s find out.
2. Why do these switches always get us in the most congested trains ever?
3. Why did they stop when there were still so many people still trying to get in?
This is kind of annoying, traffic annoys me.
4. Yes, please. There are people in line wanting to sit.
5. When the passengers inside said there was no space, Eve showed them there was some at the back.
6. Eve provided a simple rationale. If the kids stand up, it will automatically generate more space.
7. Eve wanted to get on but the passengers inside didn’t want to disturb the kids. Eve said she couldn’t care less about kids, they need to get up so everyone else can get in.
8. OP had had enough and decided to get in not caring about the children.
First of all, making kids sit on the floor was already an extremely id*otic decision. Imagine if a stampede got caused and the kids had to get up immediately to get out of the train. They would never be able to do so and a disaster would be caused.
Second of all, the parents who didn’t want their kids to get up are the biggest AHs in this situation. You guys don’t own the train so please get them to stand up so that others, having the same tickets as you guys, can get in.

9. Old woman got into the action as well.
10. 8 to 12 years must know how to give space to each other.
11. When OP shared the situation with family and friends, some agreed while others disagreed with her stance.
12. People who don’t know how to adjust accordingly to congested situations shouldn’t travel on public transport at all.
13. Some part of OP thought they did the wrong thing so the matter got taken to the AITA community.
